- Improving your service and manufacturing systems can only give you limited gains – this is only half the opportunity
- There is more scope of improvement opportunities if you target the engineering of your service, products and process’
- It can be more challenging as it is not as easy to see waste and flow
- Many organisations have implemented lean and explored opportunities in all departments (design, purchasing, engineering, finance, HR etc)
- They feel that this is what gives them an edge over their competitors
- Assist in achieving swifter new products development
E.g., Toyota, Ford, Nokia and others,
We understand that we are not Toyota !!!! However, it is important to understand some of the main differences between the Toyota culture and conventional business cultures when they develop new products as it will help you see where we can make changes to grow stronger as a company. Also, it will enable you to understand where development systems have originated from.
