The lean-stack take

A lean team would use it at the program level, not on the shop floor. It holds the portfolio of improvement initiatives so leaders can see progress and results across sites.

Best for

Large organizations that run a portfolio of operational excellence or Six Sigma initiatives and need leadership visibility across it.

Watch out for

Shibumi works at the portfolio level, so check whether you also need separate tools for A3s, 5S or shop floor daily management.
