General Session: Motorola examines a "Very Lean" facility management model and how it works

The question, “How are ‘lean’ facility organizations structured and how do they manage?” is becoming increasingly relevant to U.S. institutions and represents uncharted management territory. Here, Bob Bovee examines key features of Motorola’s lean facility management model which ranks in the top 5% of U.S. corporations in terms of “leanness.” He details the facility management mission, staffing, structure, skill sets, resources, the people that core staffers interact with and how, management tools and processes, and performance objectives and metrics. He also examines the activities of “lean teams” in formulating strategy and managing major portfolio changes.
