The Lean Journey Taking Your First Steps
- Your Lean Journey

Why Take the Journey?
At the Enterprise Excellence Ireland 2018 conference, almost every speaker used the phrase “Lean journey”. With good reason too - it’s a crucial factor for anyone who wants to get involved with Lean.
Don’t be put off at the thoughts of committing to a journey. You’re already on a journey , whether in your daily role or your business as a whole. If you’re reading about Lean, it’s a strong bet that you’re looking for ways to improve .
Would you rather stay on a “firefighting” journey , running fast, endlessly busy but getting nowhere, or commit to a long-term plan that will consistently identify areas for improvement and help you work smarter ?
It is often said that “the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” . OK, it’s an overused quote, but only because it contains more than a grain of truth.
If you’re feeling daunted by this “journey” ahead of you, you can think of reading this article as your first step . An interest in and awareness of Lean is the ideal starting point.
Take further steps by researching the basics of Lean principles and origins and deciding on a Lean training plan for your team. This will begin building an image of what Lean will look like in your organisation or your career.
Essentials for the Journey
Next, it’s important to identify what you’ll need for the trip. No two organisations go on exactly the same journey. Factors unique to your business will guide each element of the journey.
However, there are some key factors every journey requires:
Leadership Commitment
Champions and mentors, mission and vision, team engagement, considered strategy, consistent skills.
You may be thinking “everything above makes sense but… how can I actually put this into action , implementing each step correctly?”
The concepts and principles of Lean Six Sigma sound relatively simple, but without a proper understanding and framework , it's difficult to apply them correctly.
Training is essential for making Lean Six Sigma work. Let's take a look at the role training plays in your lean journey.

Lean Six Sigma uses both of the toolkits. This approach integrates both disciplines—lean (time and waste reduction) and Six Sigma (process variability reduction)—by focusing on value to the customer and on business improvement. In the end, an organization should strive to be a lean enterprise with Six Sigma capability.
Both Lean methodology—enhancing customer value by systematically eliminating waste in the form of excess expenses, etc.—and Six Sigma—a methodology for improving processes in order to reduce defects—will facilitate your journey to excellence. What does Lean methodology attack in addition to waste? Lean methodology looks at the rate at
