All organizations, regardless of industry, can implement lean operations. In the organization where you currently work, an organization where you worked previously, or one with which you are familiar, describe an operation that you would consider NOT to be lean. In other words, describe a process that you would say has a lot of waste in it. Then, if you were to "lean out" that process, what would it look like after you were done? What wastes would you eliminate? How would you do so? How would this benefit the overall operations of the organization? Answer these questions in a 7 page paper, not including the cover and reference pages. Be sure to include 2-3 outside sources.
The similarity should be less than 15%
Here is how I would expect you might approach the assignment:
1. Write about what lean is - using scholarly sources
2. Explain a process that is not lean in an organization that you know - support your observation with scholarly research in support of the fact that the process is not lean
3. Lean it out - what would it look like after you were done? What wastes would you eliminate? How would you do so? How would this benefit the overall operations of the organization? Make sure to use scholarly research.
