Lean management, the Toyota production system and similar systems are frequently viewed as being a toolbox which provides a rich stock of successful and apparently easy to apply methods and tools. However, the results achieved are often not as large or as sustainable as expected from application of the methods and tools.
We would like to note the following: Tools are tools.
No more and no less. In our opinion success of the implementation of such systems depends on use of the tools and therefore on the associated management culture and integration of employees, so that the required result is achieved.
