Your organization, a company that manufactures fitness equipment such as treadmills and elliptical machines,
is about to introduce lean concepts into its operations in order to be more competitive with foreign
manufacturers. The foreman from the assembly department, however, does not think that his employees have
the time to be involved with the lean initiative. Provide a convincing argument about why it is important for the
assembly line workers to play a part.
Your response must be at least 150 words in length.
A manufacturing facility that makes steel materials handling devices such as hand carts and an assortment of
roller carts for moving heavy materials around in manufacturing facilities has decided to start making cantilever
storage racking systems. This will require the purchase and installation of a 12-foot hydraulic press brake and
a 12-foot shear in the fabrication department along with the necessary tools and dies to bend and punch holes
in the rack components that will largely be manufactured from formed sheet metal. Employees have
experience working smaller versions of this type of equipment, but room will need to be made and larger
pieces of sheet metal will need to be cut and handled. The department will also need to continue to produce
existing orders while the new equipment is installed. How can a management of change program be used to
reduce risks in such a scenario?
