Frequently Asked Questions

Is Lean just projects and events?

No. We build daily routines so Lean becomes how work runs—not a side project.

How fast will we see results?

Most sites see measurable improvement in 8–12 weeks on a pilot area.

Will we need new headcount or software?

Usually not. We prioritize simple, visible controls the team can own.
