  • Abstract
    Many businesses handle the first stages of implementing ´lean´ processes effectively, but really stutter in extending it across the organisation. Experience shows that it is not easy to translate changes made in small pockets of activity - usually on the shopfloor - into wholesale cultural changes, and more difficult still to make those changes permanent.
