Senior Management must practise what they preach. The desire to implement lean must be evident from the top of the organisation.

Select a charismatic project leader capable of binding together teams from a cross functional environment.

Select a pilot area and a pilot project. I would suggest you start with a lean tool which is fairly easy to introduce and will bear immediate results, something like 5S.

Run with the project in the pilot area for 2-3 months and learn from your mistakes before you gradually roll the project out to other areas.

Once the first project is well underway in the business start to collect data for your second project. Start to involve the staff from the area where the second project will be introduced to get their thoughts, concerns and ideas.

Repeat the above steps as appropriate to introduce further lean tools & techniques.
