After having successfully implemented lean manufacturing in the 1990ies and lean engineering since 2004, Tenneco Europe decided to expand Lean to their administrative organizations in October 2009. The implementation approach was directly derived from lean engineering [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. After having defined a vision and a road map, a lean steering committee, composed of senior managers and a lean coordinator, identified and supported the first areas for implementation of lean in their transactional processes. It was decided to challenge the organization by selecting some critical cross functional processes. Transactional workshops were defined and executed according to Tenneco's best practice: After more than one year of implementation, the results are very encouraging This paper will illustrate, through concrete examples, the afore-mentioned results from the lean workshops.
