Implementing Kanban Alternative in Lean Manufacturing

A textbook Lean implementation can be quite daunting — value stream mapping, intense training and implementation, radical changes in processes & company culture. But you don’t have to do all that to take advantage of Lean thinking and gain Lean benefits. All it takes is openness to new ideas, trust in the knowledge and experience of the workers, and a willingness to make changes. You can adopt Lean practices incrementally & continuously in a gradual, extended journey toward improvement.
