YOUR ROLE IN LEAN ENTERPRISE
What's your role?
Everyone has a role in supporting a lean enterprise. Learn what that means for you.

Accounting
Accounting plays a unique role in the lean enterprise and, when partnered with operations, helps more accurately measure lean’s impact throughout the organization as well as help motivate lean behaviors.

Human Resources
Lean is ultimately a business model that engages and empowers people throughout the organization. Who better to hire, retain, train, and unleash the power of people than Human Resources?

Executive Leadership
Executives in a lean enterprise must align their workforce with corporate goals, unleashing those closest to the work to solve problems. It takes unique perspectives and skills to create a culture of relentless problem solvers.

Process Development
How a product or service moves through a system, with the many inputs of people, materials, and information, has great significance to a healthy lean enterprise and represents an untapped potential in most organizations.

Information Technology
IT must understand the Lean’s goal of waste elimination in order to create supportive systems. Creating systems that adhere to standards, yet remaining flexible to adapt to changing standards, is of central importance.

Sales & Marketing
A lean enterprise operates differently than any other organization. Having sales and marketing aligned with lean operations helps avoid unnecessary disruptions caused by traditional sales and marketing practices.

Supply Chain
Even the most lean organization is limited by its greater supply chain. Delays, quality, and availability of products and services that support your operations can have a largely detrimental impact on you and your customers.
