The TPS (Toyota Production System) is a business philosophy which has evolved into a robust set of tools, ideas, behavioral norms and reward and recognition systems able to achieve remarkable performance results when implemented effectively. Leadership understanding of lean for the purposes of support and validity is essential to the success of lean implementation. LHP has prepared an educational program designed to provide key organization leaders with the knowledge needed to understand the lean process, recognize the requirement for resources, and to offer support and encourage in the execution of lean projects by implementation teams.
