General Counsel of Maersk Line, Martin Clausen, to find out how the legal

department of the largest container ship operator in the world has utilised lean

methodologies, and what impact this is having on productivity.

Martin's team has implemented a number of systems and methods and is

planning to expand these in the future. One of the key tools they have applied

so far is a visual management system. The team have also done work

observations to investigate how their legal executives currently work, offer tips

on how to improve their processes and identify training needs. The next stage

planned for the legal department is a Gemba observation, which is a workplace

observation technique used in Lean theory.
