A 3 step appraoch to build to a transformation model that fits you company.

1. Observe

First step is to observe in Japanese: Genchi Genbutsu (現地現物) literally translates “real location, real thing”. It is a key principle of the Toyota Production System. This system is a major precursor of the more generic “Lean manufacturing”.

Genchi Genbutsu suggests that in order to truly understand a situation one needs to observe what is happening at the site where work actually takes place.

2. Reflect

Next step is to reflect, where the pain points in your Organisation are and what their root cause is.

Reflect is a clear report with problem statements and root cause analysis. The following 6 area’s are observed and reflected upon;

1. Time to market
