A Four Step Method to Reach Your Lean Goals
Step 1: Identify the Problem.
Do you ever have a feeling that something is just not right and something is bugging you but you are not sure what it is?
In a way, as you use Lean, you will become similar to a therapist who is talking to a patient for the first time.
In some incidences, the client or “patient” already knows there is a problem. They are just not sure what is causing it or how to solve it.
You might think your costs are too high or productivity is too low. You know that things could be better but where should you begin?
And that is where our weekly Lean coaching helps.
Step 1: Identify a Problem or Problem Area
Step 2: Learn the Basics of Lean Concepts, Principles and Practices.
Learn about Lean and the Benefits Lean Provide.
In the Lean Challenge, you will complete over 30 lessons where you will learn and then try the concepts you learn.
During the FREE weekly Lean Challenge Sessions you will be offered Lean Coaching from The Lean Learning Academy.

Step 3: Learn to use Lean tools to solve your problems.
A while ago, we were doing a Lean presentation to upper management in a large grocery chain.
A small team from the deli was presenting their Lean activity.
When it was time for one of the deli workers to present his problem, he simply brought into the front of the room a cart with a beautiful 20 lb. roast beef on the top shelf.
And then, in his own way of presenting his problem, he picked up the roast in front of the upper management and threw the beautiful piece of meet into the garbage can!
And then he simply turned to the audience and said, “We throw that much roast beef away each night. And that is my problem!”
There was a brief silence in the room as people processed what they had just seen!
Lean can be that simple.
It’s obvious to you that there is a problem.
When you are taught Lean tools, you will learn how to eliminate the problem.
Step 4: Set new Standards
Clients often tell us that they have had a special Lean training or even a five day Lean event.
But in a very short time, the improvements returned to the way they were.
During the Lean Challenge you will learn a method to sustain your improvements.

Hello, and welcome to The Lean Learning Academy!
My name is Ben Root and I am a senior coach with The Academy.
My journey in training and development began at Kent State University, where I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration.
While working at NUMMI I received a Master’s Degree in Human Resource Development from Golden Gate University in San Francisco, CA.
The real excitement for developing others sparked when I joined NUMMI.
There, I had the unique opportunity to watch first hand as an automobile company with over 7,000 employees went from the Worst of the Worst automobile plants in the world to the Best of the Best plants in a very short time.
The backbone of this transition was the Toyota Production System or what many today call “LEAN”.
