Lean Implementation Case Report

TESLA COMPANY

The report should describe: what motivated the organization to implement Lean/Six-Sigma; what the organization did specifically; and what were the results (benefits, problems). Focus on one or two specific projects or areas where lean production or six-sigma were implemented by the organization. Give details of what was done, how it was done, what obstacles were encountered and how they were overcome, and what measurable/quantitative benefits were achieved specifically from the lean implementation or specific lean projects; measurable/ quantitative results are especially important.

DO NOT tell me that the sources did not provide enough information to give details of the implementation: select an organization for which there are details available; use multiple sources, if necessary/possible (use articles, books, parts of books, interviews, company web sites, etc. as sources of information). Give a detailed list (citations) of all sources used.

DO NOT provide the organization’s income statement or income history and imply that growth was due to lean/six-sigma; just provide the measurable benefits that can be specifically attributable to lean/six-sigma.

DO NOT simply provide a general overview of the organization’s lean production program or the history of lean production in the organization; I want to see details of one or two specific implementations/projects.
