Overview – Lean Leadership

Lean Manufacturing is an approach that aims to eliminate losses, which can be applied in all processes (Production, health, bureaucracy). It took its place in the sector as a thought system consisting of 5 basic principles and 3 basic values ​​with “The Machine That Changing The World”, written by James P. Womack and Daniel Jones in 1996. “Lean Factory”, which was pronounced without a name in the book, was “Toyota Motor Company”, which outperformed its American and European competitors in terms of costqualityproductivity, and on time delivery. Therefore, the Lean Manufacturing System was also referred to the literature as the Toyota Production System (TPS).

The development of leadership competencies of managers is essential to adopt the lean approach to the teams. Although all lean tools are used with teamwork, they need leaders for both transformation and continuity.
