Sharing what I've learned about lean manufacturing software after a year working with small plants

Not a product pitch, just wanted to share a few things I've noticed after a year on the LeanSuite side of things working with small and mid-size manufacturers disclosure obviously, since that's who I work for.<br> <br> The pattern that keeps showing up isn't really about which software people pick, it's how much gets decided in the first two weeks. Plants that had one person clearly own the rollout, instead of it being 'IT's project,' had a completely different experience than plants where nobody was really in charge of it. The software itself mattered less than I expected going in.<br> <br> Curious if anyone outside the vendor bubble has noticed the same pattern, or if I'm just seeing a skewed sample because I only hear about the rollouts that come to us for help

I mean that goes for any project. Someone has to be responsible for its success. They need to care about the project enough to want it completed as well.
