Lean Roadmap

Jean Cunningham Consulting can assist your team in developing a road map for lean implementation throughout the back office of your organization.

There are probably many questions you have about the lean knowledge, committment, and integration throughout your company.

How effectively is your produ
ction working with accounting and vice versa? Does your IT organization have lean processes and are the systems providing the best information to lean operations and decisionmakers? Has HR become effective partners in the lean enterprise? These and many other questions are usually not addressed by lean six sigma integrators because their focus and expertise is in manufacturing.

JCC's
broad expertise in finance, manufacturing, and lean business processes enables us to view your non-manufacturing functions through many prisms.

We can act
solely as advisors, provide hands-on assistance, or lead the project. Our role is usually established by your current lean state and how aggressive you want to be.
Developing the road map might include:
  • Education
  • A current lean evaluation of the function(s) being mapped
  • A kaizen plan and schedule to apply lean to the function and associated cross-functional processes

  • Addressing the impact of the cross-enterprise functions: accounting, IT, and HR

  • Identifying expected problem areas



Your company members are the only ones who can make decisions for your lean implementation. But, Jean Cunningham Consulting can guide you through the process of establising a lean roadmap by raising the right questions, offering alternatives, providing proven techniques, and coaching you through complex issues.
