Lean has the power to make significant lasting improvement to our processes. Kaizen events, process mapping, Gemba walks, waste elimination, leader standard work, just to name a few of the tools critical to making improvements, but technology has the ability to help us to exponentially find opportunities.

Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Machine Learning, Automation, Robotics, Software, and more can take us to the next level in achieving the improvements we are looking to make. 

The question is, “Are you prepared to take the lead in using and deploying technology to add value, eliminate waste, analyze data, and ensure respect for people is incorporated into what and how we do process improvement in the future?”
