Lean Progress Assessment Scores Businesses
in Four Key Areas: Culture, Tool Mastery,
Partner Alignment and Revenue Generation
A new online assessment tool based on the lean progression model from TBM
Consulting Group helps organizations understand how to better leverage
continuous improvement initiatives for growth and improved financial results. It
scores organizations on their cultural attributes, management knowledge of which
tools to use and when to use them, how well the companies use lean tools to serve
customers and suppliers, and their ability to leverage improvements to achieve and
support growth initiatives. Such characteristics are then be plotted against revenue
growth, operating income and cash flow to determine if financial results are
aligned with their performance improvement efforts. To participate and receive your
customized lean progress assessment report, visit www.tbmleanassessment.com.
