A manufacturing company with a sound reputation for outstanding service and quality and a command-and-control style of direction with little communication across the organization determines to undertake a lean transformation, working closely with Lean Dynamics, a management consulting group with extensive lean-enactment experience.
The challenges the business faces are examined in detail as are tools, the lean implementation process, and practices. But modest progress has been made by the conclusion of the second cycle of a three-advancement-process cycle. Pupils are requested to reflect on various aspects of the case and describe alternate solutions and actions that they might have taken by putting themselves in the job of division president, the CEO, or consultant.
