The problem that organizations have of not recognizing system performance optimizations, cost reductions, and improved quality outcomes are attributed to its characteristics during lean transformations. This session will dissect a recent qualitative research study conducted by the presenter that explores, from lean practitioners' perspective, the role of characteristics in organizations on technical aspects during lean implementations. It will also include how leaders' mindsets are affected in achieving the desired results in four organizational socio characteristics domains and engaging participants in each dimension. Highlighting how systems can be redesigned to inform the technical systems (people systems, management systems, work systems, and improvement systems), reinforcing principles, and the required set of behaviors that would enable long term sustainable adoption throughout the lean transformation and shifting organizational mindset.
The Berkshire Innovation Center will provide a catalyst to accelerate the innovation and growth of existing companies in the Berkshire Region — primarily small to medium-sized manufacturing companies (SMEs) in life sciences and the life sciences supply chain — with the ultimate objective of spurring economic growth, jobs, and investment in the region. berkshireinnovationcenter.com
