What is Lean

Lean different than Six Sigma

Six Sigma is about variation reduction

Six Sigma is mostly project based

Six Sigma is better used as a set of tools and project management method

Lean is a management system

Lean is an orientation

Muda – Waste

Mura – Uneven Flow

Muri – Overburdening

Lean done correctly will change a culture

Why?

•Developing a Strategy for Lean

•Effectively executing the strategyStrategy

•Moves too slow

•A few at the top trying to convince others to adoptMomentum

•“Not my job” or “Not real work” perception

•Focus on compliance vs. commitment

•Focus on attitudes and procedures vs actions and outcomes

•Natural immune response occurs

Behaviors

•True information kept secret at times

•Sharing information my harm or help me

•Decisions made based on “what’s best for me”

•Information does not flow and is kept oneself

•Feeling of sharing the information will not make a difference

•Decisions based on what top management wants and everyone else follows.

•Information valued only from a chosen few•Decisions made by a chosen few

•Information shared openly and freely

•Decisions made through sharing viewpoints

Examples

1. Supervisor publicly ridicules line workers, line workers don’t mention say anything during production meetings, and any feedback is dismissed by the supervisor

2. Example conversations

1. Manager: “I can trust Rob, he’ll get this done”

2. Consultant: “Rob is overwhelmed and you can give this to Carol who seems capable”

3. Manager: “I’ll ask Rob what he thinks about Carol and if she’s capable since he’s mentoring her.”

3. CEO travels for sales calls regularly and is not in the office for day to day operations. When she meets with her direct reports 1x1 she will hear about what others executives are doing wrong and what is going on behind her back.

4. Surgeons, nurses, administrators, technicians, support functions, and vendors are brought into the discussion of how we can decrease the wait time for patients waiting for a special surgery. Rank is left at the door and there is open and clear communication with trust amongst all parties.

Example 1Anvil’s ‘R’ Us

Largest customer Wyle E. Coyote

Wyle making suppliers go Lean

Leader sends mangers to training, hire a person “who has done Lean”

Opportunistic approach

First three projects successful, after that projects slowed

New customer – Black Smith Intl.

Shift to production and less problem solving

Team looses employees during the transition due to changing working conditions

Performance suffers to Wyle E. , on time delivery from 98% to 87%

In danger of loosing Wyle E. as a customer

Example 2

General Hospital

MRI unit needs help with their patient wait times (HCAPS)

Seven distinct departments responsible for MRI unit

Hospital trying to do Lean and has a PMO office to deploy Lean

PM brought into the organization to help solve the problem

PM presents there is no single silver bullet and it’s a complex system of challenges

Management team doesn't know how to move forward
