Changing the Culture
 As you begin your lean journey you will encounter two realities when taking on lean transformation.
1. The first involves the physical changes that help reduce waste.
2. The second involves the changing of the existing culture.
 Experienced lean practitioners understand that making physical changes in the reduction of waste is much easier than changing the cultural landscape of an organization.
 Sustainability is the key to long term effectiveness and the only way we can achieve sustainability is by changing the culture.
 Creating a new standard of how people approach a challenge or a problem even how they work. The change in culture also applies to how people approach each other and how they communicate.
 Measuring organizational performance will change the focus from the individual to the entire team.
 A continuous improvement culture requires more than just going through the motions of a physical plant layout or process changes, it requires a change in how we approach everything we do.
