Introduction 
to 
Lean 
Management
Our 
organization 
is 
a 
mirror 
of 
our 
management 
beliefs. 
Lean 
management 
can 
only 
be 
achieved 
by 
those 
that 
understand, 
believe, 
and 
practice 
Lean 
leadership.
Richard 
Charron
Lean 
without 
management 
is 
a 
pipe 
dream; 
management 
without 
Lean 
is 
bad 
dream.

IN 
A 
NUTSHELL
In 
a 
Lean 
organization, 
management 
typically 
has 
two 
functions: 
maintaining 
or 
controlling 
existing 
processes, 
and 
improving 
exist-
ing 
processes. 
Regardless 
of 
where 
you 
stand 
on 
the 
road 
to 
being 
a 
Lean 
organization, 
many 
companies 
today 
operate 
within 
some 
form 
of 
risk-management 
or 
cost-containment 
philosophy 
that 
addresses 
the 
maintenance-control 
function 
of 
management. 
In 
this 
environment, 
man-
agers 
are 
faced 
with 
control 
of 
asset 
management, 
resource 
management, 
and 
risk 
management, 
while 
concurrently 
being 
charged 
with 
improving 
organizational 
performance: 
performance 
management. 
Performance 
management, 
the 
primary 
focus 
of 
a 
Lean 
organization, 
occurs 
through 
continuous 
improvement 
programs 
that 
focus 
on 
education, 
socio-
technical 
(belief 
systems) 
development, 
and 
effective 
change 
management. 
is 
chapter 
presents 
the 
basics 
that 
encompass 
Lean 
management 
and 
leadership 
in 
two 
critical 
areas: 
maintenance/control 
and 
improvement.
