Key issues and strategies for implementing the Lean Methodology in organizations
The media landscape today is shifting towards the digital and business is highly competitive. This has forced companies to look for new solutions to produce faster and innovate with less waste, and the lean methodology, originated from the Toyota Production System (TPS), has been identified as a potential solution to guide companies towards sustainable economic growth. Even though the philosophy is easy to grasp, studies have proven that implementation may be challenging due to a lack of understanding and measuring performance incorrectly. This study is based on a theoretical framework that looks into what lean is and what approaches there are towards implementing lean principles in organizations. It also explains how this methodology can benefit various companies and impact revenue positively, through genuine feedback from experts who have a personal experience of lean in practice (n = 71). To conduct this study, an online survey was shared in a selection of channels on social media to involve lean experts in both different industries and geographical areas. Even though most of the study participants say they have noticed a proven significant business growth thanks to lean, there is still hostility and resistance towards the principle. This may be a result of an organizational culture and strategy that is not very suitable for implementing lean.
