Let Me Tell You More About
The Lean Management Practice
The field of Process Philosophy sees the whole world not as a collection of things but as a collection of processes. Based on the legendary Toyota Production System, the methodology known as Lean is all about taking the processes that matter to your business and making them better. PGOS will enable you to apply Lean correctly and effectively by asking and answering just five key questions:
- What does the situation require?
- What is the problem we are trying to solve?
- What is the near-term target condition?
- What is the long-term goal for the business?
- What is important to customers?
With those answers in hand, you can design your “Lean transformation” with confidence. The benefits include increased productivity, improved quality, reduced lead times, and dramatically increased customer satisfaction. PGOS enables implementation of lean by guiding your organization in a cultural shift that focuses on continuous improvement, with everyone working together to eliminate waste and improve processes.
