HOW TO SUSTAIN THE GAIN?

At GKN, we found out that it’s easier to design a system than making it sustain

Sustaining any gain is a key challenge

Initiatives usually leave with people

Design processes based on systems instead of individuals. Individuals leave; but processes stay if they’re part of a robust system

Backsliding to older ways of working happens fast

SUSTAINABILITY AND LEAN MANUFACTURING

GKN has embraced “lean” every step of the way

We are committed to eliminate “wastes” from each of our activities

But the key challenge is setting our priorities on various value streams in a lean organization

Tools we are using are:• Kaizen (Plan-Do-Check-Act)

• 5S/Visual Management

• Kamishibai (visual management tool)

• Business Process Initiative
