Abstract

Strategic Lean Management (LM) efforts almost always fail because Leaders often lack a map of their own organization. The reason for this might be that scholars have so far mostly provided qualitative or rigid one-size-fits-all frameworks for strategically designing organizations. The purpose of this work is to provide a comprehensive quantifiable framework for strategically designing organizations for LM. Combining knowledge about Strategic Organizational Design and LM, we introduce a novel theory called HOSHIN KANRI FOREST that considers organizations as networks with organizational structure, functional connectivity and effective dynamic patterns in the quest of attaining an optimal Strategic Organizational Design towards the strategic goal of LM. This work presents the future of Lean organizations relying on strategically designing its structure, function and effective dynamics so as to emulate nature. RESUMEN Los esfuerzos estratégicos de Lean Management (LM) casi siempre fracasan porque los Leaders carecen de un mapa de su propia organización. La razón de esto puede estar en que los estudiosos de la materia han aportado hasta ahora esquemas muy rígidos para configurar el diseño de organizaciones. La intención de esta tesis doctoral es proponer un nuevo paradigma para diseñar estrategicamente organizaciones hacia LM. Combinando conocimiento de diseño organizacional estratégico y LM, introducimos una nueva teoría llamada BOSQUE de HOSHIN KANRI que considera a las organizaciones como redes con estructura organizacional, connectividad funcional y una dinámica efectiva regida por patrones para así describir una estrategia de diseño organizacional hacia el objetivo de LM. Esta tesis presenta el futuro de las organizaciones Lean basándose así en diseños estructurales, funcionales y dinámicas efectivas para así emular a la naturaleza.
