Lean philosophy has been prevalent in the manufacturing industry for decades. But even today, large numbers of manufacturers are struggling with how to embrace lean principles successfully. Results from several Aberdeen Benchmark Reports indicate that manufacturers that have adopted Lean software applications have outperformed most of their competitors.
While Lean software adoption is critical, Aberdeen recommends that manufacturers also follow a 5-steps plan to be successful:
- Standardize Lean Processes across the Enterprise
- Establish a Lean Center for Excellence
- Adopt Lean software applications as well as Enterprise Manufacturing Intelligence technology
- Increase frequency of KPI measurement
- Integrate Lean software applications with ERP
Lean software adopters are three times more likely to adopt EMI than Best-in-Class manufacturers. Adopting EMI improves visibility of the data on the plant floor and puts the data in front of the right people as actionable intelligence so that right decisions can be made at a right time.
