Developing a Lean Workforce: A Guide for Human
Resources, Plant Managers, and Lean Coordinators |
|
Authors: Rick Harris, Chris Harris
Changing an organization from a mass manufacturing environment to a lean
environment is significant and affects all levels of the company if the
implementation is done correctly. Many times, however, lean implementers
become so involved with the nuts and bolts of lean implementation that the
"people" side of the business is neglected.
In Developing a Lean Workforce: A Guide for Human Resources, Plant Managers,
and Lean Coordinators, Chris and Rick Harris walk you through a simple,
step-by-step method for taking a mass production workforce - consisting of
production associates, team leaders, and area supervisors - and turning it
into a lean thinking workforce with the necessary skills, training, and
attitude to march in a new direction… the direction of Lean.
This book helps you in three important ways. It will:
Explain the current state of Human Resources in the facility and to show
that a systematic method of training is needed to develop those resources
into a lean-thinking workforce.
Provide you with sample training sessions and explanations that you can
begin training and involving your employees right now!
Identify two major Human Resources policy practices that benefit facilities
tremendously -- Continuously training associates, whether they're newly
hired or are getting trained in new areas within the facility; and
effectively promoting employees from within the facility to team leader and
group leader positions.
This book will detail Human Resources' role in a lean manufacturing
transformation and guide it to develop a "Lean Thinking" workforce.
