In this step, businesses establish clear objectives for implementing lean manufacturing principles. Key considerations include identifying areas of waste within existing processes and setting targets for improvement. Specific goals may focus on reducing cycle times, lowering production costs, or enhancing product quality. The company should also determine the scope of lean implementation, such as which departments or facilities will be targeted for change. This stage is crucial in aligning organizational resources and priorities with the lean manufacturing initiative. By defining clear lean manufacturing goals, businesses can create a roadmap for achieving operational efficiency and continuous improvement. The objectives established during this step serve as the foundation for subsequent activities, such as process mapping, waste reduction, and employee training.
