That is why we need to introduce "total systems thinking" along with lean technologies to all levels of the organization to insure its success and sustainability. We need functional leaders to step back and optimize the whole company as their CEO does. And we need workers to step back from their work stations and optimize the line as their supervisor does. To transfer gains without this change in thinking, change in systems, change in measures is futile. We know that functional or “silo thinking” will disrupt a lean transformation.
