Production Operations Level: Transition-To-Lean Roadmap

This paper provides a roadmap for transitioning an existing production operation to one that fully implements a lean manufacturing philosophy. Integration of engineering, human resources, and business viewpoints are incorporated into the roadmap to provide a systematic implementation process. Specific actions, in order of precedence, are organized into major phases with points of interface defined with other systems that are both internal and external to the business enterprise. Definitions of those terms used on the roadmap, which are unique in describing lean activities and practices, are also presented in this paper. The roadmap is based upon experience gained to date by members of the Lean Aerospace Initiative in implementing lean philosophy into production operations at various aerospace facilities and validated by research conducted by this consortium at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

The Enterprise Level Roadmap

The Enterprise Level Roadmap is part of a Transition-To-Lean Guide, a three volume set of materials designed to help a user navigate through the Roadmap at increasingly deeper levels of detail

Lean Enterprise Value (LEV) Simulation

The Lean Enterprise Value (LEV) simulation is a unique tool for demonstrating the value, and challenges, of implementing lean principles and practices at the enterprise level. It currently comprises four modular simulations developed on a foundation of insights gained through more than 11 years of intensive research and Lean Aerospace Initiative consortium real-world experience. It is a complete, flexible simulation of a complex enterprise, which allows hands-on lessons in lean improvement

Transitioning to a Lean Enterprise: A Guide for Leaders, Volume II, Transition-to-Lean Roadmap

Volume II of this guide is a standalone reference model for assisting lean change agents and lean implementation teams in transforming the enterprise to a lean state. It is also of value to enterprise leaders and senior managers who wish to gain a better understanding of the overall transformation process. We assume that the reader of Volume II is familiar with the history and general principles of the lean paradigm. We refer those who are not, or who would like to refamiliarize themselves with lean, to Volume I, Executive Overview. Volume III, Roadmap Explorations is available for those readers who wish to acquire a deeper understanding of the several elements of the lean transformation process
