Like many organizations, PA\u2019s Department of General Services (DGS) began its lean journey by introducing basic lean principles and tools into its organization. Exposing roughly 30% of its workforce to these tools through about two dozen training events over 18 months resulted in the launch of dozens of improvement projects. DGS could count our number of trained resources and the number of projects initiated, but we succeeded in providing significant added value for customers in only a few cases. In this session, we will share how we have been working to re-energize lean within the agency. We will review briefly our lean history to date, talk about some key lessons learned over the last year as we began to think more deeply about lean, and use a few real world DGS case studies to show how our actions have evolved beyond training, tools, and projects. While we realize that no prescription exists for how to \u201cpractice lean,\u201d we want attendees to gain some insight into how they may evolve lean within their own organizations.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\t\t
