Class objectiveClass objectiveClass objectiveClass objectiveProvide a practical demonstration on how the basic Lean tools (7 wastes, 5S, Standard work and the rapid improvement Kaizen event) can
transform government operations.
By the end of the course, participants will begin "thinking Lean," that is, thinking in terms of
continuously improving processes with Lean tools.

Please share your:• Name• Agency and role • Why are you interested in Lean?

What is Lean?
LEAN is a time-tested set of tools, and an organizational desire,
to reduce waste and defects within systems and processes,
by engaging your staff
to improve productivity, quality, staff morale, and customer service.

What is Lean?What is Lean?What is Lean?What is Lean?• Refined by/attributed to
Toyota Motor Corporation (aka TPS)
• Has now been applied in all sectors, private and public, office and manufacturing
4
Lean, Six Sigma, TQM????• All come from common origins of SPC –Statistical Process Control begun in 1920’s
• All focus on continuous process improvement
• All engage those who work in the process to identify and implement process improvements
• All provide tools that can be useful in improving process performance
• Lean has a strong focus on process efficiency, accountability, and a bias for action
Why focus on process?
• Nearly every tangible output; service or product, is created as the result of a process or series of processes (a system).
• It’s been shown that over 85% of the opportunity to improve those outputs, while reducing time and cost lie within the process itself.

Process forms the base of every organization

“If you can’t
describe what
you do as a
process,
you don’t know
what you are
doing”

Why Lean, why now?Why Lean, why now?Why Lean, why now?Why Lean, why now?Public agencies are being asked to do more with smaller budgets and a shrinking workforce.
So how can we continue to provide quality service to our customers?

• Engages the people who work in the processto improve the process
• Designed to bring measurable and sustainable improvements
• Characterizes activities as value-added or non value-added from the customer’s perspective
• Focus on eliminating the non value-added

Lead or elapsed time Lead or elapsed time Lead or elapsed time Lead or elapsed time • Lead time is a measure of how quickly we
fulfill a request for a product or service
• Lead time can be a strategic measure of competency
• Organizations with the shortest lead time are positioned to be credible and trustworthy

Customers judge services by:Customers judge services by:Customers judge services by:Customers judge services by:• Speed – how quickly do I receive it once I
request it• Accuracy – the information is correct, and
responded to my request• Understandable – the information is easy to
read and understand • It is convenient for me to get it – I can get it
when I want it, not when you are willing to give it to me

• Re-work
• Re-inspection
• Employee
frustration
• More cost

Factoid
About 95% of the time that is required to produce a product or service is because of waiting.
34
OverproductionOverproductionOverproductionOverproductionProducing more than our customer wants means that we have not allocated our resources appropriately. Also, we are likely producing less of something the customer does want.
18
35
Examples of overproductionExamples of overproductionExamples of overproductionExamples of overproduction• We need 54 copies, but make 60, just in
case.• Print 5000 brochures because the price
per piece is cheaper, then inventory, store and finally recycle 2/3 of them.
• Print and distribute forms that frequently change.
36
Inventory/storageInventory/storageInventory/storageInventory/storage• Buying and storing more products than the customer needs
• Filing and storing multiple copies of the same document

• Improved service delivery• Improved employee morale• Increased capacity
• To create and sustain a CI culture requires the knowledge and commitment of the leaders of the organization.

“Leadership is an action… not a
position.”Donald H. McGannon
“If your actions
inspire others to
learn more, do
more, or become
more, you are a
leader”
John Quincy Adams
65
Managers and Leaders
� Managers keep the train
running on time toward an
established destination
� Leaders determine what the
appropriate destination is
and create an environment
where employees have the
permission and support to
help figure out the best ways
to get there
“If you don't know where you are going, you will wind up somewhere else.”

Culture exists on three levelsCulture exists on three levelsCulture exists on three levelsCulture exists on three levels• Espoused values – what leaders say
• Artifacts – what leaders do
• Assumptions – the unwritten rules that evolve from a combination of espoused values and artifacts
We change culture by action at the top two levels

Espoused values Espoused values Espoused values Espoused values “What do we tell our peopleWhat do we tell our peopleWhat do we tell our peopleWhat do we tell our people”
• What you say matters.• How you say it matters.• Bringing about a transformation of culture is not the business of a program; it’s the business of leaders.• What are your personal core values? Do others know what they are?• Leaders should be predictable; when questions arise, staff should have a pretty good idea what you will say.
You won’t change culture flying under the radar

Artifacts Artifacts Artifacts Artifacts “What do people see?What do people see?What do people see?What do people see?”
• Action – Do your actions match your words?• Accountability – Do you hold yourself accountable? Do
you hold others accountable for those things that are their responsibility?
• Role-modeling - Do you demonstrate the behavior you expect from your colleagues and co-workers?
• When something goes wrong, do you examine the process first, or immediately look for “who screwed up?”
• What types of people get promoted?

• This is the most powerful level of culture
• Unwritten rules are very slow to change
• Change comes from consistent, meaningful espoused values, and different behaviors
• The change you want to see in your area of influence starts with you.starts with you.starts with you.starts with you.
