Developing Lean businesses in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown
What is Lean Business?
Lean is about aligning an organisation’s skills, talents, resources, processes and strategy with the needs of its customers.
Finding this alignment allows organisations to be lightweight and nimble – which allows them to quickly respond to changes in the market and ensure sustainability.
What does it involve?
Once a business understands the Lean tools and techniques available they can start by a making simple operational changes to better support their customers.
The next step is to take on projects that involve a significant change. Examples include a manufacturing business investing in new equipment and software systems to implement a new production method using Lean principles, or a services company implementing a new production method involving new standardised process design, automation of parts of the process and training of staff in Lean principles.
Lean is a way of thinking and acting that enables people to drive the organisation forward towards profitable growth. It increases capability and capacity and is a catalyst for innovation.
