We welcome back NCG Coach Jim Bradley for a continuation of our LEAN podcast series - this time, we’re talking about the elements of the Control Plan. 

In our past episode we introduced the concept of lean thinking, reviewed  TIMWOODS, discussed Value added vs Non value added, reviewed DMAIC and discussed kaizen events - all of which are fundamental components nn making a lean transformation and a lasting impact on your continuous improvement culture.

When it comes to continuous improvement - how do we keep traction in the spaces and processes we have tarnstored and invested in? We have to have systems checks of control to ensure change management remains sustainable and flows through to our financial results. This is about holding ourselves accountable to execute the initiatives coming out of the change management process.

From Quarterly themes to KPIs, the 5S system and more, Jim walks us through a recommended list of control tools that will help keep the implementation process alive and well.
