14 A BILLION ACTS OF LEAN! Raising Awareness Lean University Cross-functional & cross-facility events Identified Lean Leaders at all facilities Future Projects Shingo Prize assessment Hoshin planning for strategic alignment 14

15 GreenLean Projects Development of 25+ US Pearson GreenLean Teams On-demand print solutions with zero set-up waste (paper, ink, electricity, forced air, driers, time, money, staffing) In-line print solutions eliminate 50% of packaging waste (equipment electricity, shrink wrap, corrugate, labels, staffing) Electronic testing & ebooks (revisions, cost, staffing, shipping) Re-design of product flow (cost, overtime, staffing, trucking real estate) 15
