I would like give you one suggestion for you. My suggestion came from my experience from my Lean Coaching.
Step 1. You have to decide the model area for lean activity with your boss.
Step 2. 5S activity first, during you are taking 5S activity with your boss, you and your boss has to observe model area. What is the current problem ( Waste)?
Step 3. You must take gap analysis that compare daily target vs today’s output with your boss. Why daily target has never reached target today? What is the problem?
Step 4. You have to establish hourly performance board first.
Step 5. Categorize current problems for Man, Machine, and Material.
Step 6. You should focus the Quality Problem first. Why this quality problem happened? What is the reason for quality problem?
Step 7. You should try to solve this issue with your boss. After you have tried some actions, check the result.
Then, next action; you have to find nice Lean Sensei for you. You have to bring those data, knock on the door of 1MFG.Com. 1MFG has many lean seminar, you and your boss will join their seminar together. 1 MFG.Com will introduce you correct sensei for you. If you have to change something quickly, you need nice sensei and kaizen network. Of cause, you can try it by yourself. But if you invite such a sensei for your plant, your kaizen speed should be changed faster.
You and your boss has to talk about lean word and lean tool at during lean activity on your model area. Why we have to use this lean tool now? What is the purpose of this lean tool?
If you cannot find good answer, you must ask your sensei.
Next important thing is Standardized Work. You and your boss has to learn and implement this approach. Lean will start from Standardized Work, then Lean will finish by Standardized Work.
Key word is the lean that is Learn by doing.
