He said while companies practicing lean can expect 2X-4X CAGR than the industry and three times higher productivity levels, those who have understood in parts will find it difficult to leverage the benefits of Lean.

His session helped the participants to understand the importance of deploying strategy down to bottom most level in a company, where the real Value gets added and also help remove a lot of misconceptions about Lean.

Lean is about building deep knowledge of processes not immediate countermeasures and shar problems with people so that solutions are easily accepted & Implemented, Dr Roy said, expla how the principle of lean management which owes its roots to practices established by Toyota Motor Corp. works to transform businesses .He signed off saying Lean might be simple to understand but its not easy to implement, you need a coach to guide you through this process transformation.

His presentation primarily revolved around ways to challenge status quo in our work processes and think of improving it on a daily basis. He shared example of Arvinda Eye Care hospital, where surgeons carry out 7 times more surgeries than the best hospital in Rotterdam, using simple principles learnt from McDonalds. The biggest challenges facing us today is ability to adapt quic to global technologies and retain capable people.
