How to start lean manufacturing

Lean manufacturing implementation is subjective.  It's depend to the organisation environment.  Do we need to implement all lean practices at once or can be partially.  The dilemma of new companies to implement this system are difficulties to choose lean practices.  Some of them just follow others companies which not really suitable to their environment.  This phenomenon had caused them fail at the early stage.  Actually, the system is the same provided how your company plan and implement it.  First of all, I would like to suggest to the new comer to study and get to know their organisation.  What are the loop holes should be tackled first and how serious top management on this system.  Most of the companies failed in this system is due to poor commitment of top management.  Every movement and decision is decided by them. There are huge benefits to those who already implemented this system. Among of them are productivity increase, delivery on time, reduce inventory and etc.  As a lean researcher, I would like suggest to the manufacturer to look seriously in this system.. Focus the feasible tools which could fulfil to your organisation needs.
