Personnel resistibility in lean manufacturing

Abstract

One of the barriers of the lean manufacturing introduction in enterprises is staff resistibility to change. The article describes the impact of philosophy and the concept of lean manufacturing training on the level of staff readiness for change. The research object is an engineering enterprise. Using the ROC technique, the authors conduct observations before and after training. The analysis shows that the number of neutral and positively inclined personnel increased from 70% to 82% after the training. Global practice indicates that it is possible to state the absence of barriers to implementation when the threshold is 80% according to these indicators.
