This year, 2015, we have had a lot of buzz about this thing called lean going around PAi. It's been going on long enough for everyone to start realizing, it's not the next fad that is going to eventually go away. If you haven't started changing your thinking, don't you think it's about time you do? What I am challenging you to think about this week is....what does lean mean and do for you?
Would you define lean as....
- A fixed state or goal (being lean)
- Continuous change process (becoming lean)
- Set of tools or methods (doing lean/toolbox lean)
- As a philosophy (lean thinking)
- All of the above
Is lean only a manufacturing thing? How would Cory explain lean to you? Hint: Eliminating waste (D.O.W.N.T.I.M.E.) These occur in all parts of our company and our lives, not just in manufacturing.
Is lean a positive term in your mind? Is lean a positive in your team's eyes? Have you discussed lean with your team? Is your boss on board and becoming educated about lean? Are you the boss and wondering what your team is answering to the previous question?
Does your team feel empowered to suggest and help implement ideas that make Paramount a "More Lean" company?
My final question....and I am looking for feed back from all of you on this one....What do you see at Paramount that shows we are changing towards a more lean culture? A quick one sentence response to all of us would be awesome.
Have a great Thursday!!!
Chris
