Enjoy these previews of a new lean training series from our sister site, 360PerformanceCircle.com. The series, Creating and Sustaining Lean Improvements, begins with a three video set, The Value of Integrating Lean and an ISO Based Quality Management System. Lean and an ISO Based Quality Management Systems are complementary forces that should be integrated into a Business Management System to create an overall effective system capable of sustaining all improvement efforts. A Business Management System will only be effective, if true, deep cultural changes are developed and deployed. The positive results of deploying improvement tools will only survive briefly without a change in the culture of the company first. Lean Tools and Lean Cultural Elements provide the “How to” of excellent business practices. An ISO 9001 based Quality Management System forms the “What” and ties in all of the elements of a good business practices into one cohesive unit. Learn where each lean tool and cultural element fits tightly into the specific clauses of ISO 9001, thus forming the nucleus of an effective Business Management System.
