About
Lean Dynamics Research, LLC is the premier source for research, insights, and support related to the powerful, proven approach known as lean dynamics. What is lean dynamics? Simply stated, it is a system of management based on the principles and practices of lean manufacturing–but with the focus of creating strong, steady, tangible value across today’s broad range of uncertain and changing conditions for complex corporations, institutions, and their customers.
How is lean dynamics different? Businesses and institutions demonstrating lean dynamics are able to more smoothly adapt to shifts in their environment to sustain effective operations, information, and decision making–for greater growth, profitability, and innovation.
Lean dynamics is implementated differently as well. Whereas lean manufacturing emphasizes eliminating “waste” as a means for reducing costs and improving quality and efficiency, lean dynamics focuses on transforming how businesses are structured so they can more smoothly adapt to uncertainty and change. Rather than beginning by uncovering hidden “wastes,” it begins by first understanding the firm’s dynamic business environment—the uncertain and changing conditions that likely drove these wastes to accumulate, and will cause them to return if improvements do not address this underlying cause.
Lean dynamics offers a set of principles and techniques that makes it possible to understand how these external factors act on disconnects that are naturally built in to operations, organizational structures, and information systems to create waste when conditions suddently shift. It offers a proven structure for companies and institutions to progressively improve their dynamic stability, driving up their efficiency, profitability, and ability to innovate even in the most challenging conditions.
