One of the causes why organizations are problematic, inefficient, and unproductive could be traced to the deficiency in their processes because it hinders them from reaching their fullest potential.

These organizations could have neglected to face the problems, hesitated to take risks, or avoided to introduce changes within their system. In the case of ABC Garments, which is a family-owned business at the micro-enterprise level, the management didn’t have someone who would look into their problems, which led to the manifestations of its unproductive business operations. In this insider action research project, the action researcher and his collaborators sought to address its organization’s main issue: the lack of proper operational practices. We used the PDCA Cycle and the 6S Approach from Lean Programs as guiding frameworks. With the help of various tools such as Methods of Inquiry, Three-Circle Model of the Family Business System, Cause-Effect Diagram, SMART Goal, RACI Matrix, and Lewin's Three-Step Change Model, we were able to achieve our desired outcomes collaboratively.
