Abstract
Lean Manufacturing is considered to be one of the major frameworks in improving manufacturing performance. Yet, a majority of lean improvement projects fail to generate a benefit for the organization. The problem usually lies with an incomplete understanding of lean manufacturing by the personnel involved. Therefore, industry is very interested in improving lean skills. This paper gives a qualitative overview and comparison on how to improve the abilities of the personnel to do lean, as well as suggestions on how to combine these approaches for a well-rounded improvement of the ability to do lean. It shows opportunities both for corporations as well as individuals on how to improve lean performance.
