This paper discusses the implementation of Lean Enterprise management, principles, and tools in seaport operations. The paper begins with an overview of the necessary management training, strategy, and structure necessary for the successful implementation of Lean Enterprise. An analysis of the appropriate Lean Enterprise tools to be applied in seaport operations is provided, and specific examples of the implementation of those tools at the Port of Mobile in Mobile, Alabama, are cited. The paper also investigates the importance of integrating Lean Enterprise concepts into support functions such as accounting, maintenance, and human resources to enhance overall port operations in a holistic manner. The paper concludes with a discussion of the keys to the successful implementation of Lean Enterprise and the issues relative to sustaining improvement efforts as well as suggestions for additional focuses of improvement for implementing Lean Enterprise in port operations.
