Lean “Leadership People Process Outcome” (LPPO) implementation model

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present the Lean “Leadership People Process Outcome” (LPPO) implementation model. Design/methodology/approach – The model is developed from existing models through literature review and its success from use in lean implementation is reported in case studies. Findings – The LPPO model is a Lean implementation model that is flexible and easily adaptable. It is system based, people driven, customer centred, with measurable outcome and a drive for continuous improvement. Research limitations/implications – This work is based on existing literature and case studies. Practical implications – The paper would be of interest to Lean practitioners as the model developed is system generic and easily adaptable. Originality/value – The LPPO model presented in this paper has been newly developed and the successful application is seen in the case studies.
