Financial institutions are the same as any other business enterprise in that they are comprised of many processes that are linked to each other. These instituions can apply Lean techniques to their processes to identify wasteful activities then reduce or eliminate them.
Banks, Investment Firms, and Accounting Firms all are good candidates for implementing lean principles.
In the recent news there have been revelations of money being mis-handled and to instances of too loose of lending practices especially in private and commercial real estate.
To counter-act those past bad practices some institutions have fallen prey to over-regulation and have implemented cumbersome and lengthy procedures that have ingnored the consumer. There are ways to improve these procedures that not only comply with strict regulations, but also keep the consumer experiece positive with Lean techniques.
Some insightful institutions have recognized that Lean can help their enterprise and have embarked on their continuous improvement journey. I just finished reading an article on how Wells Fargo has begun to utilize Lean to improve their services.
Like many other non-manufacturing businesses they deal with poor or no standard work for critical operating procedures.
They struggle with inventory replenishment methods for their supplies.
They also are in need of improving the flow of work and services to satisfy their customers.
Another area of opportunity is in developing new products and services and getting them to market faster and at lower costs than traditional non-Lean methods.
