Lean Leader - Operating System

As a Lean Leader, you will be responsible for improving and sustaining the operating system of GEHC International. This system is the foundation for the operational teams to run daily operations, to ensure rigorous execution and to deliver impactful operating reviews.

Essential responsibilities: Standard Work Development: identify where we have gaps in standard work; coach and help the teams to address these gaps.

Daily Management System (DM): facilitate the deployment of commercial and operations daily management at Gemba, with strong focus on leading KPIs and to-the-point visual management. Coach stand-up participants to make DM a team sports, on delivering outcomes and on problem solving as opposed to reporting. Problem Solving: foster a culture of problem-solving and continuous improvement throughout the International region. Inspire Gemba practitioners and the leadership team to coach and guide the broader organization towards better problem solving. Provide direct support for International key A3s. Operating Reviews : increase the ROI of operating reviews by minimizing the amount of work that goes into preparation, by leveraging existing operational visuals, and by coaching participants to focus on what matters.
