Scope

The standard establishes requirements for a Lean Production Management System (LPMS) where an organization aims to improve satisfaction of customers, shareholders, employees and other interested parties by effectively applying lean principles; and where the organization needs to demonstrate the level and dynamics of improvement in value creation. Requirements are general and intended for application by organizations regardless of their type, size or the products and services supplied.

Key topics and requirements

• Principles of lean production: value definition, value stream mapping, flow, pull (вытягивание) and continuous improvement (kaizen).
• Organizational context and leadership responsibilities for creating a culture that supports lean (including social‑psychological environment and respect for people).
• Planning, objectives and performance indicators tied to value creation (takt time, cycle time, flow efficiency and other flow metrics).
• Resources, competence, knowledge management and infrastructure needed to monitor and measure processes and value streams.
• Operational controls including design/development, process design as value streams, supplier management synchronized with value flow.
• Monitoring, measurement, analysis, evaluation and continual improvement of the LPMS.
• Documentation and records to demonstrate competence, results and improvement activities.

Typical use and users

Used by organizations seeking to implement or formalize lean production at enterprise level: manufacturing (automotive, heavy industry, metallurgy, shipbuilding), suppliers, product development and service organizations. Typical users include senior leadership, quality and operations managers, lean practitioners, auditors and consultants who need a national normative reference for lean management system requirements.

Related standards

Frequently used together with other management system standards and normative documents such as ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment), ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety) and related Russian GOST R documents on lean methods and metrics (subsequent and companion standards referenced in the LPMS text).
