ABSTRACT

Focusing on the first S in our BASICS model (which stands for suggest solutions), the goal of this chapter is to introduce the balance of the tools and how to proceed once the analysis is completed. There are many pieces to a Lean implementation and they are all interconnected. The material in this chapter will walk through the relationships and how the data collected up to this point can be leveraged to prepare you for your implementation. It will discuss suggesting solutions for improvements and making recommendations to management to secure their buy-in and approval (Figure 6.1).
