Identifying a Truly Lean Company

A recent posting on LinkedIn Answers asks the rather intriguing question, How does one find a truly progressive company?


            The writer says


 


I am seeking a way to find a company that is truly interested in continuous improvement, team building, and personal growth. I have encountered companies that say they are committed, but in reality have no interest in anything other than maintaining the status quo. Are there tell-tale signs or questions than can be asked in an interview that would be indicators of those where the management is behind continuous improvement?


 


            So far, nine people have posted responses. While all of the responses are well-intentioned, and a few may even be helpful, none of them seems to address the question from a lean perspective.


            Rather than try to address this myself, I thought I would throw it out to all of you blog readers. How can you tell if a company is truly committed to a lean philosophy and strategy? Can you find out, or at least get some idea, from an interview? What else should you be looking at? What are the signs of a lean operation? I look forward to your comments.
