LAI Enterprise Self-Assessment Tool (LESAT) V.2

Abstract

This LAI Enterprise Self-Assessment Tool (LESAT) Version 2.0 was developed at the Lean Advancement Initiative (LAI) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to assist in the enterprise transformation process by providing a structured tool and reference for enterprise assessment. LESAT 2.0 uses elements of the LAI Enterprise Transformation Roadmap and LAI LESAT 1.0 as sources of information to provide a structure and implementation reference for the self-assessment process. LESAT 1.0, 2.0, and the Enterprise Transformation Roadmap were developed at MIT by the Lean Advancement Initiative (LAI). LESAT 2.0 builds upon LESAT Version 1.0, which was developed jointly by MIT and the Warwick Manufacturing Group of the University of Warwick under the auspices of the U.K. and U.S. Lean Aerospace Initiatives. LESAT Version 2.0 is based on cumulative LAI knowledge gained through years of enterprise-level research, researcher facilitation experience, and LAI member experience in using LESAT Version 1.0.
