ABSTRACT
Increasing global competition has led many business leaders
to implement Lean methodologies to drive operational improvement and deliver
increased customer satisfaction. However, not all business leaders have been
successful in sustaining Lean implementation with the majority failing within
the first three years. In addition, the challenge related to implementing Lean
in multi-national companies is exacerbated by the cultural differences
associated with the various business units involved. Recent research has
suggested that business leaders who have sustained their Lean implementations
have utilized specific behaviors to do so. This presentation explores how
leaders of multi- national companies utilize specific behaviors to sustain the
implementation of Lean methodologies.
