Tear down your OFFICES OPEN SPACES BUILD COLLABORATION AND TEAMWORK

Your plant may be lean but the rest of the operation likely harbours functional silos in administrative areas. There are many lean plants where the rest of the organization still operates in functional silos. Why do they allow this to happen? Perhaps they voice the mantra that "change is good anywhere, except in my backyard." In operations where ugly is quickly visible, great things have been accomplished. In many cases cells created by adopting single-piece-flow are delivering dramatic results, which can also be accomplished in administrative areas. Instead of having a sales department, engineering group or groups, production control, accounting, marketing, human resources operating as functional silos, create cells based on value streams.
