lean-management-claude-plugin

Use for building safe work practices into process design using the Training Within Industry (TWI) Job Safety (JS) approach -- systematic hazard identification and elimination before they cause incidents. Use when designing new processes, evaluating existing ones for safety, or when a safety concern has been surfaced.

Use for planning or facilitating focused rapid improvement events (kaizen events, kaizen blitzes, rapid improvement workshops). Applies to Type 2 problems where a focused team effort over 3-5 days can achieve significant improvement in a defined process area.

Use for pull-based work management using kanban -- including board design, WIP limits, flow metrics (lead time, cycle time, throughput, flow efficiency), making policies explicit, and feedback cadences. Applies to Type 2 and Type 3 problems. Use when the team is overloaded, work lacks visibility, or flow needs improvement without restructuring the process.

Use for designing structured daily management routines for leaders and managers -- what managers do, when, where, and how to sustain the lean management system. Applies to Type 2 and Type 3 problems in management system design. Use when managers need to shift from reactive firefighting to proactive process management.

Use for questions about lean at enterprise scale, portfolio management, multi-team lean coordination, investment horizons, mission command leadership, continuous compliance, and scaling lean across large organizations (SAFe, LeSS, and lean enterprise frameworks).
