Summary
The objective of this chapter is to introduce the University of Kentucky IR4TD Lean Systems Program (LSP) and the concept of “True Lean,” as well as to discuss what we have observed to be critical challenges (derailers) to the successful implementation of Toyota Production System-(TPS)-based principles within non-Toyota organizations. This learning stems from experience teaching, coaching, and facilitating lean implementation activities in a wide range of industries over the past twenty-five years. Participants in the LSP Lean Certification program have been sent by over 175 companies representing industries from healthcare, steel, glass, ceramics, textiles, automotive, railroads, aerospace, commercial aviation, fast food restaurants, and food processing manufacturers as well as government, education, and NGOs. This chapter shares data collected from our staff and clients in an effort to help understand the current condition of lean in industry today and the major challenges confronting successful lean implementations.
