What
The Lean Assessment Does
This
assessment helps to investigate, evaluate, and measure nine key
areas of manufacturing. The result is a deeper understanding of key
issues, problem areas, and potential solutions.
Self
Scoring - Graphical Results
This
format uses an Excel template to record information and score the
results. It also allows for weighting the nine key areas to reflect
your own processes, products, and markets. The assessment produces a
"radar chart" that visually displays results.

 Lean
Assessment Additional Information
The
Lean Manufacturing Assessment has a questionnaire that explores nine key areas. There are 3-6 questions for each area with
multiple-choice answers.
A scoring worksheet totals the score for each section and provides an
overall Lean Index.
 This
assessment allows weighting of the nine key areas.
These areas are not equally important in determining overall manufacturing
performance. Moreover, the relative importance of the areas varies with
particular products, markets, processes, and other factors. The user must
evaluate the relative strategic impact of each area.
The
weighting feature will also help establish priorities for implementation.
For
example, a firm might score very low in the area of
"Maintenance". For a highly automated factory with integral
processes, a low maintenance score would be a critical deficiency. For an
assembly operation using hand tools and manual methods, a low ranking on
"Maintenance" would have little impact.
The
questions lead to metrics
for your Lean Manufacturing journey. Managers traditionally rely on accounting
metrics. These are inadequate for
Lean Manufacturing. Managing a lean factory requires data
that reflects what is happening upstream in these chains of events.
