Lean Management Major Stakeholders Practice of lean management principle targets three major stakeholders; Customers, Employees, and the Organization: 1. Customers. Nothing is more rewarding if we see our customers delighted. The delight may be due to the satisfaction to the product or may be because of an encompassing customer service. Its a clich but, customers are always right. And even if they are not, they have to always feel that they are valued. All concerns and issues must be addressed upfront. Avoid false promises. Value added services are always a catcher preventing loss or decline in the number of customers. 2. Employees. This is the workforce. The rank and file level. They are the organizations wheelbarrow. A happy employee will merit a delighted customer. An employee who is well compensated, whose professional directions are defined, and who are empowered will surely make a star organization. 3. Organization. The organization is the board members, the CEO, and the business owners. The organization is also the processes, the house rules, and other implementations. They are the fuel of the company. An organization that is well managed, balanced and not bias, has heart for the customers are but model organizations these days. They are the echo of the lean management system.

Advocates of Lean Management When it comes to businesses, lean management is never selective. Any type of business; be it manufacturing, operations, customer service, and other types can adapt the principles of lean service, management. As long as the goal coincides with what lean management is teaching, applying lean management will never be a problem. There is also no SPOC or single point of contact that everybody will rely on. Applying lean management rely must be a collaborative effort among departments, teams, and groups. But it is worth to note if the organization will designate one team who will drive the principles and collect efforts. Business improvements must not be focused to one department alone. At the end of the day, all groups must focused provide inputs on how to better performance, increase profit, reduce waste, and implement excellent processes.
