 LEAN ADMINISTRATION IS FINALLY HERE!Oct 01, 2005
By Jim
I was amazed of what was displayed at this location. The virtual tour was a shining light to our organization. Many departments could not understand how to apply Lean tools in their situations, other than the value stream mapping exercise. This customer service group demonstrated an actual working Lean office with all the tools. Toyota could learn from Ms. Knight!

!!LEAN OFFICE AT ITS BEST!!Aug 06, 2005
By Dale

I recently purchased Lean Office - It Can Be Done! and thought I was just going to see someone talking about Lean in the office. I was amazingly surprised! This video is a display of the Lean tools of 5S, Heijunka (Leveling), Standard Work, Pull, Kanbans, an sophisticated File System, along with Value Stream Mapping, Visual Controls, etc. You can tell by the actual footage that Ms. Knight is truly ahead of her time in applying Lean Office principles in administrative settings. This video demonstates excellent detail on a Lean Office - a model for every office. An excellent training tool for any type organization that desires to use Lean in its continuous improvement activities.
Great work!

LEAN OFFICE AT ITS BEST!!!!May 19, 2005
By Tony Vander
"An Avid Lean Reader"
I have searched for nearly two years to find well-documented examples of a Lean Office. This video does it for me. It gave our organization a vision of the future. The examples of 5S, takt time, cells, heijunka, leveling, standard work, measurements, etc. are exemplary. Eaton Aerospace, and Chris Knight and her Lean Office team, should be commended on setting the bar for administrative Lean offices worldwide!
Lean Office - Good, Overview DVDMay 12, 2009
By Kim from Chicago
"Lean-Sigma Coord."
We found this video very helpful in our training. The basic process of how to document processes in discussed, as well as a unique and innovative system to control paperwork. It was exactly what we expected, real people applying Lean office principles in a real situation. Previous reviewers seem a bit too critical, as this is only 10 minutes and is advertised as a virtual office tour (NOT a training program). The DVD allowed us insights into how we can better manage our paperwork, as well as how we can organize our processes.
GREAT LEAN OFFICE TOUR!!May 26, 2007
By Lindsey E. Keyes
"Director, Operational Excellence"
As someone who has worked in implementing Lean in administrative settings, I found The Lean Office...it can be done! DVD very informative and exactly what it was advertised to be - a virtual tour of a Lean Office. This DVD I now show in all our Kaizen Events that involve any transactional process - and everyone has raved about it and had ideas for improvements immediately. A superb overview on how all the Lean tools relate. The detailed implementation is what we are now doing..but it was nice to see a Lean Office...how it was done!
