Lean Deployment Enterprise Wide Model § Characteristics – Top down driven – Comprehensive – Major culture change – Rapid, highly visible deployment § Deployment considerations – Solid leadership from the top management is essential – Large infrastructure and full time staff – Significant planning and management over time – Integration with other management systems – Need for common language and problem solving methodology – Need to address cross functional processes This is the traditional deployment model with a proven track record.

Lean Deployment Department / Business Unit Model § Characteristics – Department leadership but enterprise management support – Department pilot for enterprise – Comprehensive at the department level – Culture change • Deployment considerations – Easier to start due to smaller scale – Slower pace is possible; scale up after initial success – Greater use of consultants and outside training – Less integration with management systems – Similar to enterprise model but on a smaller scale – Risk of not getting beyond the department level Good option for a strong mid level leader with a supportive boss. © Perspect Management Consulting, 2012 9

Lean Deployment Targeted Model § Characteristics – Top management leadership – Focused on a few specific business problems – Driven by a desire for strategic impact – Culture change not a deployment objective § Deployment considerations – Easy to get started – Can work in smaller organizations – Quick results because problems are identified ahead of time – Infrastructure needs are small; use contracted resources – Risk of not sustaining the gains Good model if resources are very limited. Can build momentum for organization wide efforts © Perspect Management Consulting, 2012 10
- 11. Lean Deployment Grass Roots Model § Characteristics – Originates at the bottom of the organization – Highly motivated individuals lead the effort – Project or problem specific – Culture change not an objective § Deployment considerations – Easy to do – Track record for sustainable improvement is not good – Few if any infrastructure needs – Big success can lead to using other deployment models. Model can produce good results but often fades over time due to lack of top management attention. © Perspect Management Consulting, 2012 11
