Customers want: Maximal Value-Adding time as % of Total lead time (Flow efficiency).

by the customer

- Understand where you are before you decide where to go• Draw by hand, note down all the current steps involved
- How information and value flows- The communication with tools and customers, suppliers- Gather actual data on lead times, queue times

But don’t forget, the lean toolyou use and the actual picture is secondary.
What is important is thediscussions and ideas thathappen within the team whoworks on the value creation and how they come up with betterways of working together.

Copyright © of LEAN ADVANTAGE Ltd. www.leanadvantage.co.ukAndrea Darabos Lean Practitioner, [email protected] , +44 07936 041196, Twitter @ADarabos
I was working with a global team of customer supportengineers, developers, testers and IC repair centers tounderstand how can they offer better service to theircustomers.
The „hardware” is products that are deployed in highavailability environments (i.e. World Cup or Olympicsstreaming). Thus, it was essential to offer reliablerepair service with short lead times.
The Problems we discovered
• Customers complained aboutlong repair lead times(long tail distribution with 40% of workbeyond expectations)
• The customers wanted better visibility of where the units are in repair and what is happening to them
Then we reflected on this feedback…• We had very little visibility ourselves of
the WIP in the process• Had no idea where the bottlenecks were• People working with repairs were very
busy managing work but customerescalations were common
• We did not feel good ownership of theservice (low morale)LEAN ADVANTAGE Ltd.
