Abstract

In western companies Lean Management is often falling short of expectations. Normally, the reason for this is the focus on a methodological approach concurrently neglecting behavioral aspects. The article based on a case study approach offers a holistic approach to Lean Management implementation by empowering employees for a decentralized and goal-oriented improvement process considering behavioral aspects.
