Lean Maturity Assessment

This tool will help you to ascertain your organization’s adoption of lean practices.

Lean Maturity Assessment is designed around six areas – Leadership, Support Systems, Value Streams, Continuous Improvement, Lean Techniques and Standard Work. Each area has got five questions covering various relevant sub-areas.

In total there are 30 questions and should not take more than 5 minutes to complete the survey.

We are using a unique ranking scale. Though scale remains 1 to 10, but options for selection are 1, 3 and 9 only.

  • 1 stand for non-existing practice or situation
  • 3 stands for moderate or average implementation, adoption, or existence
  • 9 stands for near perfect situation

Please rank your answers appropriately.

Once assessment is form filled, we will get back to you within one working day on the assessment result.
