Abstract

This paper presents a case of the implementation of some lean manufacturing initiatives such as lean Kaizen events, improvement project, standardization, training center, "Stage Gate", ideas and suggestion, ISO 14000, ISO 17025 in a steel company in Nuevo León. This study used a diagnostic tool proposed by Hiroyuki Hirano to determine the degree of maturity of the initiative of continuous improvement, and compare against the steps suggested by the main authors in this issue. The above determine the main steps and factors of success and crises and barriers that were presented. Also, we propose an adaptation of the model proposed by Erik Erikson to organism principle, which takes into account at every stage life cycle.
