Lean for your industry

I hope you are doing great. Today is all about implementing lean for your industry. But before that, I am sure you enjoyed last week’s massive discount (85% discount) on popular Superfactory presentation series. You will get over 5000 slides of information worth $2,300 just for $299. This presentation series contains information covering all the aspects of lean from lean manufacturing, lean office, lean enterprise, lean leadership, balanced score cards, lean quality and so on. I honestly believe this is all you need to learn the basics and advanced lean stuff. You can get your presentation series by following this link. If you want more information just follow this link. Remember Superfactory has a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you are not satisfied 100%, they will refund your money within 30 Days. So you are at no risk what so ever (But I think you will never ask for a refund. You will be 200% satisfied with what they have to offer). OK back to today’s stuff.

As I have always discussed, lean concepts are universal. They can be applied virtually in any situation. Lean concepts are applied in manufacturing to services to military to hospitals. This explains the adoptability of the concept. We have also discussed about why lean fails. We have identified one of the main reasons as just copying the processes from other organizations. So it is clear every organization needs its own way of using lean, even when the concepts remains the same regardless of the implementation.

My blog readers are always asking me the question “How to apply lean in my industry?” this is very valid question as every lean implementation will have different implementation strategies and processes. For my surprise though most of the questions come from readers in apparel and related industries followed by various automobile related manufacturers and people from service industries. I am curious as to why this is? But I think there is a huge force driving the lean initiative in apparel industry all over the world. Yes, I do get questions from US, UK, Egypt, India and various other countries. Probably the pressure to reduce prices, low delivery times might be driving the lean initiatives all over the world.

So I thought of publishing a series of posts explaining how to implement lean in your own industry. I will start from “Lean for Apparel”, obviously because there had been too many requests for this. I have invited one of my friends to write this series for you. He is an expert in implementing lean in Apparel related industries. I would love to give all his details, but as he is working for a consulting organization already, he wants to remain anonymous. But he will share his expertise with all of us. I think that is what will matter at the end of the day. So we look forward to the article series. One thing to note though. Although this series looks at the apparel industry, you will learn lots of stuff, even if you are not in the same industry. It will not waste your time. Learning from other is always better before you make the same mistake.
