In the years since the Center began operations, some recurring questions have been asked that highlight its mission and the value of its services to partner organizations and to customers. These questions are listed below:
1. What kinds of reading resources does the Center utilize in tailoring its training and consultation services?
2. In making the transition to a lean operation, what kinds of time periods should a brownfield company anticipate?
3. Which is more important in making the transition to lean, technical or human systems?
4. Are there any common preconditions to implementing a lean culture in a non- lean environment?
5. If lean methods were developed in manufacturing and production environments like Toyota, how can they realistically be applicable to educational and community organizations?
6. What are some effective strategies for explaining lean to top management, especially when skepticism is high and pressure to meet targets is intense?
