Lean Roadmap: A Step by Step Guide for a Process Manager

Younes Tiamaz¹,

Nissrine Souissi²

Abstract: This paper aims to build a generic roadmap for implementing Lean in different domains in order to improve the business processes. The customization of this roadmap makes it possible to adapt the steps to be followed for Lean implementation, the process manager’s requirements and available resources. An application has been developed in order to facilitate the customization of this roadmap. An analysis of methods from a literature review for Lean implementation was conducted in order to identify the steps to be… Show more

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to carry out a comprehensive systematic review of lean implementation frameworks and roadmaps developed over the past decade and report the key findings along with the limitations and the way forward.Design/methodology/approachA systematic review methodology proposed by Tranfield (2003), was followed to identify the relevant works on the research topic. Articles were searched using a set of inclusion criteria in various databases including Google Scholar, Web of Science and Science Direct over a period of 30 years.FindingsThe high failure rate of lean system implementation, reaching a range between 70 and 90% in almost all industries, is a matter of concern. This failure rate is still high even though numerous frameworks and roadmap models exist to streamline lean implementation. There is no standard framework or roadmap identified in the literature and many organisations are implementing lean in their unique ways. However, it would be desirable to develop a practical and systematic roadmap on lean-looking into the cultural and leadership dimensions rather than focusing on a set of tools. Moreover, most frameworks and roadmaps lack the sustenance aspects of lean implementation.Research limitations/implicationsThis research only identifies the fundamental gaps with the existing frameworks and roadmaps on lean implementation. The next phase of the research is to develop a roadmap and validate it with a number of organisations in different cultural contexts and leadership styles.Originality/valueThe authors argue that this is one of the most comprehensive systematic review on lean frameworks and roadmaps, ever produced in the literature to date.

Over the past few years, organizations have faced pressure from stakeholders to implement lean principles in their product development processes. However, the existing methods are not capable of measuring the benefits of adopting lean initiatives in the product development process. This research aims to develop a performance measurement model that can measure the effects of implementing lean in the engineering process. Engineering effort is analyzed in order to identify hidden wastes (e.g. inventory in the form of information about product specifications or engineering errors) in the engineering process. The model has been implemented in a civil design process of an engineering consultant company to validate the general applicability of the new model. The implementation of the model provides visibility on the waste hidden in the engineering process and quantifies that waste. The most significant contribution of this research is the development of new performance metrics and a decomposition chart. Finally, performance metrics are properly linked and the model treats lean as a holistic system, quantitatively measuring performance at different organizational levels.

Although Lean has been known and applied in both theoretical and practical on around the world for many years,a deeper understanding of Lean tools, principles implementation, anda roadmap to successfully apply is needed. In the context of Small and medium enterprises (SME), it is very difficult for local enterprises to apply synchronization Lean tools, techniques, and principles because of limited resources in manpower, technology, and management capability. Through the case-based study, this paper proposed the four-phase roadmap for Lean application in SMEs. An analysis of methods froma literature review of Lean implementation was conducted in order to identify the phases of the roadmap. Then, six SMEs in Vietnam that applied Lean were chosen to collect data and analyze the applicability and how Lean tools are successful implemented in the cases to confirm the findings.
