Sometimes “less” adds up to “more.”
? less waste
? less design time
? less costs
? fewer organizational layers
? fewer suppliers
? more employee empowerment
? more flexibility and capability
? more productivity
? more quality
? more customer satisfaction
? more long-term competitive success
… stressed minimizing waste.
The emphasis
was on Lean
Production.

The Evolving Lean Message
Enterprise Definition
"One or more persons or organizations that
have related activities, unified operation or
common control, and a common business
purpose"
-Blacks Law Dictionary, 1999
Deborah Nightingale, MIT ? 2002
Lean Enterprise Defined
“A lean enterprise is an integrated entity which
efficiently creates value for its multiple
stakeholders by employing lean principles and
practices.”
-Lean Aerospace Initiative, MIT, 2001

Customer Value
“Value measures the worth of a product or
service to a customer. It is a function of the
product’s usefulness to the customer, its
relative importance to the customer’s need, its
availability relative to when it is needed, and
how much the customer has to pay for it.”
-Rebentisch, MIT, 2000
Deborah Nightingale, MIT ? 2002
--
Manufacturing Excellence
null “...deliver what the customer wants, including
design changes, when wanted, where wanted,
at reasonable cost, with no quality glitches and
no environmental degradation” (Dr. Robert Hall
Association for Manufacturing Excellence)
null 21st century ideal - meet any need or change
instantly
Deborah Nightingale, MIT ? 2002
Increased Emphasis on the Customer
null Customer as consumer will play increasingly
proactive role
null “Prosumer” -- a customer who participates in own
service or order fulfillment
null Prosumers will change character of industry
null Surviving enterprises will be different in form and
practice
Deborah Nightingale, MIT ? 2002
Stakeholder Defined
Any group or
individual who can
affect or is affected
by the
achievements of
the organization’s
objective

Lean Enterprise System
null A Lean Enterprise Requires the Integration of
null Processes
null People / Organization
null Information
null Technology
null Holistic View
null Enterprise as a System
Deborah Nightingale, MIT ? 2002
Lean Thinking Embraces the Entire Enterprise Value
Stream, Focuses on Processes, Cuts Across all
Functions & Covers all Phases of the Product
Lifecycle
null Enterprise perspective: Lean requires an enterprise perspective,
encompassing the entire enterprise value stream (extended
enterprise), for successful implementation
null Process focus: Lean views the enterprise as a network of processes;
optimizing each process does not optimize the entire set of enterprise
processes
null Functional integration: Lean cuts across & integrates all enterprise
functions (product development, manufacturing, finance, human
resources, customer support)
null Lifecycle orientation: Lean spans from product development to
production to operations & support to deliver best lifecycle value
Deborah Nightingale, MIT ? 2002
Best Life Cycle Value
“A product introduced at the right time and for
the right price which delivers best value in
mission effectiveness, performance,
affordability, and sustainability, and
comparatively retains these advantages over
the useful life of the product.”
- Murman et al, MIT, 2000

What is the Vision of the Future Lean
Industrial Base?
A Future Manufacturing Base That Responds
Quickly and Efficiently to Gov’t and Commercial
Sector Needs
Characteristics and Competencies
of This Future Industrial Base
null Workforce
null Products
null Organizations
null Customer
Deborah Nightingale, MIT ? 2002
Vision of the Future Lean Industrial Base:
Workforce
null Flexible organizations where workers are treated as the
most valuable company resource
null Multi-skilled, continuously trained, highly committed
workforce
null Easy access to industry knowledge, data, and lessons
learned
null Advanced, integrated information systems
null Seamless access to information without regard to geographic
distance or corporate boundaries
null Revolution in manner in which individuals work individually and
together
Deborah Nightingale, MIT ? 2002
Vision of the Future Lean Industrial Base:
Products
null Dramatically reduced costs, cycle times, and improved
quality in all aspects of product life cycle
null Technical risk, producibility, and affordability will be
considered early in R&D process
null Quantum advances in key materials technologies including
composites, metal alloys, and ceramics
null Modular systems and low-cost upgrades to take advantage
of technology advances
null Extensive use of Commercial standardized components in
military applications
Deborah Nightingale, MIT ? 2002
Vision of the Future Lean Industrial Base:
Organizations
null Agile engineering and manufacturing systems
null Seamlessly integrated flexible supply chains
null Expansive use of partnerships to achieve
product, technology, and service breakthroughs
null Civil and military industrial bases will be more
fully integrated
null Globally competitive companies and leadership
null Virtual Enterprises on a global basis
Deborah Nightingale, MIT ? 2002

null Quick response to global queries for products
with affordable, high-quality solutions
null Products enter production with predictable and
affordable costs, schedules, and funding
null Global customers delighted by quality, price,
and environmental friendliness
Deborah Nightingale, MIT ? 2002
Lean Enterprises Principles
null Create lean value by doing the job right and by doing
the right job.
null Deliver value only after identifying stakeholder value
and constructing robust value propositions.
null Fully realize lean value only by adopting an
enterprise perspective.
null Address the interdependencies across enterprise
levels to increase lean value.
null People, not just process, effectuate lean value.

Lean Enterprise Model (LEM)
Lean Aerospace Initiative
Deborah Nightingale, MIT ? 2002
What is the LEM?
null A systematic framework for organizing and
disseminating LAI research results
null Comprised of lean enterprise principles,
practices and metrics
null Populated by data derived from surveys,
case studies and other research activities

Deborah Nightingale, MIT ? 2002
The LEM is a “Lean” Enterprise Tool
null Assists in the self-assessment of leanness of
consortium organizations and processes
null By examination of existing practices
null By comparison of quantitative performance
null By assessment of rate of improvement
null Serves as a guide for identifying leverage points
for organizational change
null Provides insights as to where lean efforts should
be directed
Supports Consortium Members in
their Journey toward Lean
