Is Lean Safe or is Safe Lean? New Approach: Make Change Happen

Abstract

Based on my previous paper, "Is Lean Safe or Is Safe Lean? A Case Study on Lean vs. Safety Principles," there is a growing need for a new model to ensure safe outcomes while employing lean methodology. In this second paper, we introduce a new model called "Make Change Happen." This paper demonstrates how this model can help avoid high hazards by integrating safe behaviors and lean tools. The "Make Change Happen" model provides a framework that ensures safety is maintained without compromising the efficiency and effectiveness of lean practices. Through detailed analysis and practical examples, this paper showcases the successful application of this model in real-world scenarios, highlighting its potential to transform safety outcomes in lean environments
