Lean “Leadership People Process Outcome” (LPPO) implementation model

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to present the Lean “Leadership People Process Outcome” (LPPO) implementation model.

Design/methodology/approach

The model is developed from existing models through literature review and its success from use in lean implementation is reported in case studies.

Findings

The LPPO model is a Lean implementation model that is flexible and easily adaptable. It is system based, people driven, customer centred, with measurable outcome and a drive for continuous improvement.

Research limitations/implications

This work is based on existing literature and case studies.

Practical implications

The paper would be of interest to Lean practitioners as the model developed is system generic and easily adaptable.

Originality/value

The LPPO model presented in this paper has been newly developed and the successful application is seen in the case studies.
