"...The first step is implementing a Lean execution system (LES) to track plant floor issues and gain visibility into a company’s operations. An LES also can bring clarity and help determine what problems to solve first, and determine where integration is the right solution to those problems.
It’s important to have a system that shows what the constraints and abnormalities are in the factory. Understanding this better will point users toward the best opportunities to integrate that will truly make a difference, and when they should be addressed. An LES also can help prioritize opportunities and implement them in the right sequence."
