Obstacles to LEAN Implementation

[Matt Vincent]

Wire & Harness Specifier wants to know: What are some of the main obstacles to successfully implementing a LEAN manufacturing methodology?

[Satish Mudabagila-Gowda]

No Executive sponsorship
Resistance to Change
No Targets / deliverables in terms of KPIs
Lack of Training and follow up

There are many more we can list :) but it can become an open ended Q

Hi Satish:

Thanks for your response. Re: your first point, happened to run across this site, espcially aimed at "the LEAN Executive": http://www.leanexecutive.com. Lots of good first-hand/case study content therein.
