Old vs. Lean Mindest
Old Mindset
- Focused on individual activities and todays borders
- Business processes divided into departmental thinking
- Focused on “own” output and not on customer demands
- High level of inefficiency within administrative areas
- High level of intransparency hiding waste (e. g. waiting time)
Lean Mindset
- Process visualization based on green field planning
- No borders and barriers at all, focus lies on process interactions
- Planning according to a short lead and throughput time
- Visual Management based on clear processes and helps by daily activities
- Visual Management supports Quality Management
