Implementation Strategy

The Genesis 1 System is based on four simple principles:

• Systematically identify problems

• Solve problems in a structured manner

• Effectively implement the solution

• Insure that the problem stays fixed

To create and implement an effective Lean / Continuous Improvement System, management must answer the following questions:

How will problems be identified?

• Problems must be identified in a planned, structured manner

When will problems be identified?

• A proactive problem identification system requires that problems be sought out in a structured, planned manner -- it is not sufficient to just wait for problems to arise

Who will review and prioritize the list of problems?

• Executive level personnel must be involved in selecting problems to be solved

Who will be on project teams?

• High impact project teams must be created to solve the chosen problems

How will projects be tracked?

• There must be tools for management to track project team activity

Who will develop training material?

• Employees must be trained on exactly how the system will work if:

  • You are going to get their buy in

  • They are to be expected to participate effectively

How will training be conducted and by whom?
