The role of the Sensei in the implementation of lean manufacturing is essential.

Lean is not just common sense. Just as having a good coach is fundamental in sports, implementing lean manufacturing requires a Sensei.

▶ The Word Sensei

In this video, I am going to talk about one of the most important figures in the Lean Manufacturing philosophy. The Sensei.

The word "Sensei" is a Japanese term that means "teacher." In the context of Lean Manufacturing, a Sensei is someone who has mastered the principles and practices of Lean Manufacturing through years of experience in transforming the gemba - the place where work actually happens.



▶ Sensei is a Special Teacher

A Sensei is not just any teacher, however. They must possess the ability to explain complex concepts in a way that is easily understood and inspiring to their students.

In other words, a Sensei must be an effective communicator and motivator.

To become a Sensei, one must first gain a deep understanding of Lean Manufacturing principles and practices.

This requires years of hands-on experience in the field, as well as a willingness to continually learn and improve.

Once a person has achieved this level of mastery, they can begin to share their knowledge and expertise with others.

This is an essential part of the Sensei's role, as they are responsible for teaching and guiding others in the Lean Manufacturing philosophy.

However, being a Sensei is not just about imparting knowledge - it's also about inspiring and motivating others to embrace Lean Manufacturing principles and practices.

A Sensei must lead by example, demonstrating the benefits of Lean Manufacturing through their own actions and behaviors.



▶ Conclusions

In conclusion, the Sensei is a critical figure in the world of Lean Manufacturing.

They are the teachers, guides, and motivators who help others to transform their workplaces and achieve greater efficiency, productivity, and success.
