Lean synchronisation 4 / 13

Lean synchronisation

involves the application of the techniques and ideas with the purpose of delivering to the customer exactly what they want.

  • This can be summarised as delivering the right quantity of the right product, at the right time, in the right location, for the right price.

  • The actual mix and application of techniques that an organisation uses will depend on the culture and nature of the organisation, the industry, and strategy of the business.

Barriers to lean synchronisation

  1. The first barrier is a failure of the organisation to eliminate waste.

    Waste causes costs to rise and for products to be delayed due to re-work. 

    It may also impact product quality.

  2. The second barrier is a failure to involve all the relevant people involved in the operation. 

    For any initiative to be successful there needs to be support and involvement from the leadership through to the shop floor.
