"If you look at lean applied

into different industries over the past 40 years, you will have witnessed lean transformations that started strong with management commitment; however, when the low-hanging fruit had been harvested and/or a new executive hired, more often than not, their transformation got derailed and lost its momentum. The problem was that lean was viewed as a `project' executed by a continuous improvement leader. To truly succeed in transforming an organization you need to see lean as a long-term reality.

Bill Baker
