Lean Implementation: A Never-Ending Journey of a Company

Lean implementation in India found its roots a decade ago. Many pieces of research have been done on areas like Lean tools, Barriers to Lean implementation, and even a lot more case studies were carried out on the same, but the “Lessons learned, strategic choices the team made, organizational culture transformation experienced by them after introducing an innovative concept like Lean into their projects” haven’t explored elsewhere. Therefore, the authors describe a company’s Lean journey to give an outline of the team’s decision-making and strategic choices while deploying the Lean concept in their projects. The results suggest that implementing Lean in any project highly demands a “Change in mindset” of the people involved and also describe how decision-making and strategic choices have played a vital role in successful project implementation. Further, the findings suggest that implementing Lean is a never-ending journey, and attaining success requires people’s involvement and commitment throughout the project.
