Pre-event Actions
Create common expectations for the event
Collect data to support mapping
Clarify the scope of area to be mapped
Identify and invite individuals needed for event
Gather supplies and set up area
A map needs to...
Contain all steps not just official or documented
Show both information and product flow
Be commonly accepted
Be current
Measure time
Track value creation
Be useable
Help highlight improvement opportunities
Show inventory levelsEasily increase understanding
Find the Hidden factory
Steps in a process that are not documented.
Must reveal and come to understand.
Usually found through observation or auditing of the process.
Mapping Helps
Current -baseline-common ground-
uncover the hidden process-think like a map maker: collect all features-find opportunities to improve-jumping off point for other maps-must reflect up to the moment
Mapping Helps
Ideal -no bounds-blue sky-no resource
constraints-think like a child: dream all features-leave nothing to improve-be unrealistic-must be done second-cannot be skipped!!!!
Mapping Helps
Future -actionable-meets business
requirements-plan to get there-think like a designer: ensure flow and function-waste elimination and value creation-includes doable elements of ideal map-becomes "to be" map
Event Follow-up Actions
Create Action RAIL
Establish follow up plan and meeting schedule
Ensure documentation of Opportunities and Maps
Do Event Post Mortem
Write Change Agreement
