Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 Document Purpose and Audience

The Deployment Handbook sets out how a Lean Improvement Project should be run and explains in

detail each of the four stages of a Lean Improvement Project. The Handbook should be used by all

those involved directly with Highways Agency (HA) Lean Division, including Technical Managers,

Secondees and Practitioners as well as the wider Highways Community.

This document expands on the “what” in terms of scope definition and answers the “how”, “who” and

“when” in terms of processes, governance structures and roles and responsibilities.

The document should be read in conjunction with the HA Lean Deployment Strategy which provides

the overall background and objectives for HA Lean Division and the Benefits Realisation Guide,

which describes the standard manner for articulating and capturing benefits and efficiencies arising

from Lean Improvements.

The HA Lean Deployment Strategy also answers the “what” and “why” of HA Lean in terms of

strategic objectives, high level scope, organisation structures, critical success factors and how it will

support the delivery of the HA Business Plan.

The HA Strategy for developing supplier capability is illustrated below in the ‘House of Lean’ which

is based on objective, assessment, features and people.

1.2 Lean Deployment Strategy Objectives

The purpose of the HA Lean Division is “to lead, support and enable continuous performance

improvement across HA and the HA supply chain.”

The over-riding objective is “to reduce the cost of delivering HA projects and maintenance while at

the same time improving the quality of the product delivered and improving delivery performance”.

This can be translated into a number of key objectives as outlined below:

• Delivery of increased Value for Money (VFM) to road users

• Time compression to enable major schemes and other key HA processes to be delivered faster

• Realisation of tangible and auditable benefits in terms of Cost and Time, Quality, Sustainability

and Culture

• Delivery of capability across the Highways community

• Delivery of measurable efficiency improvements

• Significant cultural shift towards continuous improvement

• Development of an industry standard for Lean Construction

• Develop a talent pipeline of Lean specialists within the HA

A Lean Improvement Project is anything that attempts to introduce Lean techniques and methods

into existing working practices. Lean Improvements can be initiated by suppliers or the Highways

Agency, either in collaboration with each other or independently. However, in order to ensure all of

the successes from Lean are captured, Lean Division should be used as a common focal point.

For those working directly with the Lean Division the following chapter sets out the framework for

running a Lean Improvement Project. The HA Lean Tracker is at the centre of this framework and is

used for the prioritisation, capture, monitoring and reporting of projects. The HA Lean Tracker is

located online and a link is provided on the www.highways.gov.uk/specialist-information website to a

business collaborator website (under Practitioners Area), hosted by a supply chain partner. Access

enquires should be directed to [email protected].

A one page summary of the Lean Improvement Project Process is provided on the following page

detailing the steps which a Practitioner should take during each of the four project stages, namely;

• Identify

• Initiate

• Execute

• Close

Suppliers running their own Lean Improvement Projects independently of Lean Division may not

wish to use this framework for running their projects. However, in order to capture benefits and

share knowledge Benefits Realisation Capture Form (BRCF) and Knowledge Transfer Packs (KTP)

should be prepared and sent to [email protected] (See Sections 4.3.2 and 4.5.2

for details).

The BRCF and KTP templates can be found at www.highways.gov.uk/specialist-information under

the Guides and Toolkits section.

4.2 Identify

4.2.1 Lean Improvement Plan (LIP)

At the beginning of each financial year a LIP will be developed. This will involve identifying

opportunities for Lean Improvements within each of the three divisions, namely Managed

Motorways (MM), Major Projects (MP) and Maintenance (NDD). When identifying opportunities the

following factors will be taken into account;

� Benefits

� Supplier co-operation

� Critical mass

� Geographical location

� Deliverability (Quick Wins)

� Benefit realisation – financial/non financial

� Benefits realised by HA/realised by supplier

This exercise will ensure specialist support resources can be targeted towards opportunities identified as being most likely to succeed and with the greatest potential for benefits. The LIP will be co-created by Derek Drysdale and the Technical Manager from each of the divisions. Following the identification of the most beneficial opportunities, consideration will be given to which

Lean techniques would be most appropriate namely;

� Collaborative Planning Systems (e.g. last planner)

� Lean Visual Management (LVM)

� Problem solving techniques (DMAICT)

4.2.2 Identification of Lean Improvement Projects

Once suitable areas for the deployment of Lean have been identified a Lean Recognition workshop

will be conducted to identify specific improvements. In order to get the most from a workshop they

should include as many of the scheme Stakeholders as possible. The overall aim of the workshop

will be to compile a list of viable Lean Improvement Projects and prioritise each of them using the

Lean Project Prioritisation Matrix tools, provided in Appendix C. Electronic version of these forms

are also available on www.highways.gov.uk/specialist-information under the Guides and Toolkits

download section.

This assessment takes account of potential benefits (Cost/Time/Repeatability/Sustainability) and

ease of deliverability (Measurability/Duration/Availability/Stakeholder Support).

If it is considered that the workshop would benefit from external expert facilitation a request can be

made by completing a Sub Task Initiation Document (See Section 4.3.3).

Specific improvements identified in the Lean Recognition workshop will be captured in the HA Lean

Tracker (See Section 4.3 below for details) by the Lean Practitioner/Secondee attending the

workshop.

A RACI Chart setting out the process is provided below:

4.3 Project Initiation

4.3.1 HA Lean Tracker

Once a project has been identified the Practitioner will be required to establish the project in the HA

Lean Project Tracker. This is done by clicking on the business collaborator website link on the HA

website under Practitioners Area. Access details can be obtained through

[email protected]. Once entry is granted click on ‘Add New Project’ for the option

to add new project, see illustration below.

The Practitioner will then be prompted to initially populate a number of fields to establish the project

in the HA Lean Tracker:

• Lean Improvement Project: A title briefly summarising what the project is i.e. M25 Junc 30 Earthworks

• Responsible Company: Name of the Practitioners company

• HA Technical Manager

• Project Status: This will either be active/suspended/complete. A completed project is when the benefit realisation is complete and KTP is submitted.

Page 17: HA Lean Deployment Handbook - Highways ... - Highways …assets.highways.gov.uk/specialist-information/lean-forms-and... · The HA Lean Deployment Strategy also answers the “what”

14

• Project Benefits Description: Overview of the Lean tool and technique applied to the improvement.

Once the project becomes active the Practitioner will need to provide more detailed information about the Lean Improvement Project.

This additional information required is as followed:

• Team Members: Identify Practitioner, Champion and any other Team Members involved with the project.

• QUAD of Aims:

o Purpose – Why is the project being carried out?

o Stakeholder Benefits – Who will benefit and how?

o Deliverables – What will the project deliverables be?

o Success Criteria – How will success be measured? Financial benefits/reduction in programme

• Project Scope: Provide a detailed description of the proposed Lean Improvement Project.

• Milestone Tracking: If the project is to follow a DMAICT process then dates for each of the stage gates should be provided. Alternatively, key milestones should be used.

• Project Budget and Benefits: Consideration should be given to the cost of resources required and what the approximate targeted financial benefits are. See the section below on Benefits Realisation (Section 4.3.2)

• Key Risks: Consider what the key risks are of projects failure and identify how these risks will be mitigated.

• Key Stakeholders: Identify who the key stakeholders are and provide contact information for each.

The business collaborator online HA Lean Tracker replaces the old Lean tracker located on HA

PartnerNet. The key benefits of the new business collaborator HA Lean Tracker are multi-user

capabilities, new upload function and better user interface.

4.3.2 Benefits Realisation Capture Form (BRCF)

In the initiation stage of a project it is necessary to plan how the benefits will be captured and what

they will be. This is done using parts A and B of the Benefits Realisation Capture Form (BRCF)

which is found on www.highways.gov.uk/specialist-information - Guides and Toolkits section.

The Benefits Realisation Guide provides detailed guidance on how the form should be completed,

but a brief description is provided below.

Section A – Provides General Details about the project and the key contacts.

Section B – Provides a summary of the Planned Benefits which the Practitioner believes the Lean Improvement Project will bring. This should always be completed within 28 days of initiation of project.

Section C – Provides a means for recording Realised Benefits and will be completed once the Lean Improvement Project is completed. This section needs to be ‘wet signed’ by the Lean Practitioner and the Lean project champion/sponsor before the document is scanned and uploaded to the HA Lean Project Tracker.

Appendix 1 – This appendix should be completed with calculations used to build up the quantum of benefits. This provides the record of how benefits were estimated at the commencement of the intervention.

A template of the BRCF can be found on www.highways.gov.uk/specialist-information under the

Guides and Toolkits section.

BRCF’s can be uploaded to the HA Lean Tracker in the project update function. Alternatively, they

can be sent to [email protected] where they will be logged in the BRCF Log and

uploaded.

4.3.3 Sub-Task Initiation Document (SID)

A SID will be produced when a Practitioner identifies areas within their Lean Improvement Project,

which may benefit from support from the Specialist Support Supplier Pool.

The SID will require the Practitioner to provide the following information:

• A detailed description of the sub task

• Milestone for sub-task delivery

• Key deliverables and dates

• Approximate resource requirements

• Risk and mitigation measures

• Consideration of Key Stakeholders

The Technical Manager will consider the application according to current Lean priorities and

determine whether the specialist support can be made available. Once an instruction to proceed is

given the Specialist Supplier will contact the Practitioner directly and make arrangements for a kick

off meeting.

The Lean Efficiency Support Team will manage a SID Log and monitor progress on a monthly basis.

The SID template is shown in Appendix D and is available for download on

www.highways.gov.uk/specialist-information under the Guides and Toolkits section. Completed

SID’s can be submitted to [email protected].

Change Control

If the need for additional support is identified or if the scope of the task changes the original SID can

be revised to reflect these changes and passed to the Technical Manager for approval. A template

of the SID can be found on www.highways.gov.uk/specialist-information under Guides and Toolkits

section.

All completed SIDs should be sent to [email protected] where they will be logged

in the SID Log and saved on www.highways.gov.uk/specialist-information.

A RACI Chart setting out setting out the Change Control Process is provided below;

4.4.2 Reporting

Each month the Lean Efficiency support consultant will produce a progress report to the Lean

Division. This will be generated automatically from the HA Lean Tracker tool using the updates

provided by the Practitioners.

The monthly HA status report (in A3 dashboard format) will provide a summary of the progress

within Lean Division in the previous month for each of the three divisions and include;

• Headline of key achievements/issues/risks

• New Lean Improvement Projects

• Completed Lean Improvement Projects

• Potential/Targeted Benefits Identified

• Actual/Realised Benefits identified

• Return on investment to date

In addition a summary sheet will be generated highlighting all Lean Improvement Projects, which have been flagged as either red or blue during the past month and if known, what the key issues are. A key to the meaning of the project flags is provided below:

Each of these reports will be presented and discussed at the Lean Division Monthly Team Review meeting and displayed on the Lean Division communications cell at Piccadilly Gate, HA Manchester.

4.5 Close

4.5.1 Benefits Realisation Capture Form (BRCF)

At this stage Part C of the BRCF should be completed. This section is used to identify realised

benefits resulting from the Lean Improvement Project. This section must be ‘wet signed’ by the Lean

Practitioner and Lean project champion/sponsor before the document is scanned and uploaded to

the HA Lean Project Tracker.

See Section 4.3.2 for further details.

4.5.2 Knowledge Transfer Packs (KTP)

A Knowledge Transfer Pack (KTP) should be produced once a Lean Improvement Project has been

completed to allow findings to be transferred into future Schemes/MACs.

A KTP template can be found on www.highways.gov.uk/specialist-information under the Guides

and Toolkits section.

The KTP should be uploaded to the HA Lean Tracker within 3 months of the project completion.

Alternatively it can be submitted to [email protected].

The Lean Division and LES partner will review the KTP and if required return comments to the

Practitioner. The finalised one page A4 summary will be added to the KTP portal of the website with

detailed report located within the deployment office.
