Welcome!

The purpose of this study is to learn more about Lean Transformation initiatives in a variety of organizational settings. Specifically, we are interested in studying the factors that influence lean transformation success.

LEAN TRANSFORMATION is broadly defined in this study as the organization's effort to embrace the lean philosophy as a means to systematically achieve continuous improvement, cost reduction, increased efficiency, and enhanced value for customers.

Thank you for completing this important survey. Your input is greatly appreciated, and the results of this study will provide valuable information regarding the current status of lean transformation initiatives in your company. Data collected from this survey will only be reported in aggregate. Your privacy and confidentiality are strictly preserved. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mr. David Marshall at davidmarshall@uky.edu or 419-225-5022.



INSTRUCTIONS:

Please answer the following questions with respect to lean transformation in your company by either checking the most appropriate option or filling in the blanks as indicated. Please answer the questions from an ongoing, company-wide perspective - not from a project/one-time lean transformation view. It is important that you answer all questions completely and as accurately as possible, though your approximate response is better than no response at all. If you have recently joined your current organization and/or were not extensively involved in lean transformation initiatives, please answer the questions to the best of your ability.




We appreciate your time and thank you again!
