What makes a pizza delivery service
“fit for purpose” ?
Fitness criteria are metrics that
measure things customers
value when selecting a service
again & again
 Delivery time
 Quality
 Predictability
 Safety (or conformance to
regulatory requirements)
sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Meet Neeta - a project manager
Neeta’s team are working late
(again)
Neeta needs to feed them with
pizza
What attributes do her team
care about in a pizza delivery
service?
• Delivery time =
approximately 1 hour
• Non-functional quality =
tasty & hot
• Functional quality (order accuracy) =
doesn’t matter if small mistakes are
made, geeks will eat any flavor of pizza
• Predictability =
+/- 30 minutes is acceptable
• Safety =
so long as health & safety in food
preparation is good, it’s fine
sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Neeta is also a working mom!
Neeta gets home late.
Her kids are really
hungry and even though
she shouldn’t she
decides to order pizza for
them
What makes a pizza
delivery service
acceptable to her kids
age 4, 6, 9 & 11 years?
• Delivery time =
20 minutes
• Non-functional quality =
doesn’t matter too much, it’s pizza!!!
• Functional quality (order accuracy) =
it must be cheese pizza! No other flavor is
acceptable! (even if you take the pepperoni
off)
• Predictability =
+/- 5 minutes maximum!!!
• Safety =
only mommy worries about that stuff!
sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
To be “fit for purpose” there is a
product component & a service
delivery component
We need to offer a selection of
different recipes which are tasty
& popular. However, we must
also deliver with speed &
predictability
Lesson
sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Modern creative & knowledge
worker businesses often obsess
with product definition & strategy
Operational excellence and service
delivery excellence are often
overlooked or treated as inferior
management skills
Lesson
sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Neeta has 2 identities –
Mother and Project Manager
Each of Neeta’s identities
represents a different market
segment for the pizza delivery
service
Traditional demographic &
income group segmentation does
not accurately capture the
context to understand
“fit for purpose”
Nor, for that matter, do
personas. As Neeta represents
two segments not just one
persona
Lesson
sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Exercise – Understanding Fitness for Purpose
Pick a service with which you are
familiar
Consider what makes it “fit for
purpose?”
Which attributes make you select
the service, again and again?
What are your expectations for
each attribute?
 Why?
 What (business) risks drive your
expectations?
sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Fitness Criteria Drive
Evolutionary Change
sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Fitness criteria are metrics that measure
observable external outcomes
Fitness criteria are metrics that
measure things customers or
other external stakeholders value
 Delivery time
 Quality
 Predictability
 Safety (conformance to regulatory
requirements)
or metrics that qualitatively
assess actual outcomes such as
 customer satisfaction
 employee satisfaction

sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Business Risks, Fitness Criteria & Classes of
Service should all align
Business risks are things which are uncertain that affect
the performance of our business such as nature of
demand, consistency of supply, delivery predictability,
seasonal windows of opportunity, time value of money
Classes of service offered should align with business risks
Metrics used to evaluate service delivery capability
should be fitness criteria that are derived from specific
business risks
For example, opportunity cost of delay requires us to
measure lead time and understand sensitivity to
schedule uncertainty
sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Select Key Performance Indicators Carefully!
KPIs should be fitness criteria metrics with threshold
values that represent “good enough” – the level where
the service delivery is “fit for purpose”
KPIs should assess service delivery capability and
indicate fitness for purpose. In doing so, a KPI
indicates your likelihood of success – of surviving and
thriving - by adequately satisfying your customers?
KPIs should be recognizable by your customers as
something meaningful!
If your customer doesn’t recognize the metric it isn’t a
“key” “performance” indicator, it is some other kind of
metric
sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Other Useful Metrics
Some other metrics are useful
 Those which guide improvements
 Those which indicate general health
Is your metric evaluating and guiding a specific
change to improve fitness of your business such as
an initiative to improve vendor response times?
Or, is it a general business health indicator such as
liquidity?
If neither of these, then it is a metric that you almost
certainly don’t need! It should be removed!

Customer Storytelling & Clustering
Tell stories about real
customers, their
motivation, what they
buy and why. Cluster
similar stories
Give each cluster a “nickname”
e.g.
• “All ins”
• “Aspirationals”
• “Bet hedgers”
• “Boy scouts”
sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
You can’t just ask!
Neeta, how fast would
you like your pizza
delivered? How
predictable do you need
us to be with our delivery
estimate?
Customers will tend to tell
you they need better service
and more features than they
really need!
Would you pay more for
the things you say you
need and want?
No, probably not!
Believe what customers
actually do, do not believe
what they say they’ll do!
Actually behavior will vary
from declared intent!
sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Who knows your customers?
Front line staff
 Those who take and those
who deliver orders
 Those who provide
“customer care”
 Often the lowest paid staff
in a business
 Often the highest turnover,
shortest tenured positions
 And yet, they have the vital
information that enables
the business to survive,
thrive and compete
sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Pizza boy knows Neeta’s Story!
Staff who meet customers
can be trained to learn
what matters to them
and why
Create ways to capture
customer stories or directly
involve customer facing staff
when defining customer
segments fitness criteria
sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
GT car manufacturer story
A well known manufacturer
of GT cars determined
customers were prepared to
wait 21 months to take
delivery
They learned this by letting
delivery time slip to 27 months
and receiving cancellations and
customers switching to a rival
manufacturer
Determining fitness
criteria thresholds by
reducing service levels until
customer complaints rise
to dangerous levels isn’t a
“safe to fail” approach!
Damaging your brand,
your reputation and your
profitability is a strange
way to discover how to
be…
“fit for purpose!”
sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Retarding customer service until
customers complain vehemently or
take their business elsewhere could
be damaging
• Undermines brand
• Damages reputation
• Loss of market share
• Loss of revenue
Probing for threshold values by
reducing service quality isn’t “safe to
fail”
Is it “safe to fail”?
We need general guidance
that allows us to probe
for fitness criteria
threshold values that is
“safe to fail”
If we can’t ask, and we can’t
allow service to decline until
complaints make the
threshold evident, what can
we do?
sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Probing for Threshold Levels
sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Look for clusters or
patterns of demand, or
patterns of similar
expectations, or new
sources of demand that
may represent an
emerging segment
Probe with classes of service
Create a class of service to
respond to the believed new
segment
• Set service levels at or close to
anticipated threshold levels
sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Probe with classes of service
Observe take up of class of service
• Is it over-used? (or abused?) If so
tighten qualification criteria
• Is it under-used? Consider removing
it
• Is it used but you fail to deliver to
expectations? Do people complain? If
no then consider removing it. You
are over promising
Fixed delivery date class of
service emerged this way.
Initially abused by
marketing, eligibility
criteria were tightened
up.
sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Telecom Equipment Example
A platform maintenance
department at a telecom
equipment manufacturer
receives demand only from
internal application
departments…
… Each request is tagged with the
originating telco operator for
whom the request is being
implemented. Each operator is
given a lane on the kanban board
sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Telecom Equipment Example
Imagine 3 American telco operators
with different strategic positions…
• Verizon value quality most
• Sprint value time-to-market
• Voicestream/T-Mobile USA values low
cost
Now design and offer 3
classes of service…
• High quality, tight “done”
criteria for each step
• Short lead time – pull priority,
looser “done” criteria
• Low cost – junior staff, lowest
priority compared to other
work

Each lane represents a different
source of demand but also
different fitness criteria and
threshold values
Different classes of service and
different pull criteria policies are
defined for each lane providing
service levels tuned to the “fitness
for purpose” expectations of each
customer
sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
To have confidence you are
offering a service that is “fit for
purpose”, you must offer different
classes of service
To serve more than one market
segment adequately, you must
offer a selection of classes of
service
Lesson
sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Classes of service should align to
market segments and fitness
criteria (or stakeholders needs)
Lesson
KPIs cannot be general! They need to
be tied to customer expectations.
Different segments have different
expectations. Hence, different
threshold levels of the KPI

  • 10. sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc. What makes a pizza delivery service “fit for purpose” ? Fitness criteria are metrics that measure things customers value when selecting a service again & again  Delivery time  Quality  Predictability  Safety (or conformance to regulatory requirements)
  • 11. sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc. Meet Neeta - a project manager Neeta’s team are working late (again) Neeta needs to feed them with pizza What attributes do her team care about in a pizza delivery service? • Delivery time = approximately 1 hour • Non-functional quality = tasty & hot • Functional quality (order accuracy) = doesn’t matter if small mistakes are made, geeks will eat any flavor of pizza • Predictability = +/- 30 minutes is acceptable • Safety = so long as health & safety in food preparation is good, it’s fine
  • 12. sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc. Neeta is also a working mom! Neeta gets home late. Her kids are really hungry and even though she shouldn’t she decides to order pizza for them What makes a pizza delivery service acceptable to her kids age 4, 6, 9 & 11 years? • Delivery time = 20 minutes • Non-functional quality = doesn’t matter too much, it’s pizza!!! • Functional quality (order accuracy) = it must be cheese pizza! No other flavor is acceptable! (even if you take the pepperoni off) • Predictability = +/- 5 minutes maximum!!! • Safety = only mommy worries about that stuff!
  • 13. sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc. To be “fit for purpose” there is a product component & a service delivery component We need to offer a selection of different recipes which are tasty & popular. However, we must also deliver with speed & predictability Lesson
  • 14. sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc. Modern creative & knowledge worker businesses often obsess with product definition & strategy Operational excellence and service delivery excellence are often overlooked or treated as inferior management skills Lesson
  • 15. sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc. Neeta has 2 identities – Mother and Project Manager Each of Neeta’s identities represents a different market segment for the pizza delivery service Traditional demographic & income group segmentation does not accurately capture the context to understand “fit for purpose” Nor, for that matter, do personas. As Neeta represents two segments not just one persona Lesson
  • 16. sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc. Exercise – Understanding Fitness for Purpose Pick a service with which you are familiar Consider what makes it “fit for purpose?” Which attributes make you select the service, again and again? What are your expectations for each attribute?  Why?  What (business) risks drive your expectations?
  • 17. sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc. Fitness Criteria Drive Evolutionary Change
  • 18. sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc. Fitness criteria are metrics that measure observable external outcomes Fitness criteria are metrics that measure things customers or other external stakeholders value  Delivery time  Quality  Predictability  Safety (conformance to regulatory requirements) or metrics that qualitatively assess actual outcomes such as  customer satisfaction  employee satisfaction
  • 19. sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc. Evolutionary change has no defined end point Evolving Process Roll forward Roll back Initial Process Future process is emergent Evaluate Fitness Evaluate Fitness Evaluate Fitness Evaluate Fitness Evalua Fitnes We don’t know the end-point but we do know our emergent process is fitter!
  • 20. sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc. Business Risks, Fitness Criteria & Classes of Service should all align Business risks are things which are uncertain that affect the performance of our business such as nature of demand, consistency of supply, delivery predictability, seasonal windows of opportunity, time value of money Classes of service offered should align with business risks Metrics used to evaluate service delivery capability should be fitness criteria that are derived from specific business risks For example, opportunity cost of delay requires us to measure lead time and understand sensitivity to schedule uncertainty
  • 21. sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc. Select Key Performance Indicators Carefully! KPIs should be fitness criteria metrics with threshold values that represent “good enough” – the level where the service delivery is “fit for purpose” KPIs should assess service delivery capability and indicate fitness for purpose. In doing so, a KPI indicates your likelihood of success – of surviving and thriving - by adequately satisfying your customers? KPIs should be recognizable by your customers as something meaningful! If your customer doesn’t recognize the metric it isn’t a “key” “performance” indicator, it is some other kind of metric
  • 22. sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc. Other Useful Metrics Some other metrics are useful  Those which guide improvements  Those which indicate general health Is your metric evaluating and guiding a specific change to improve fitness of your business such as an initiative to improve vendor response times? Or, is it a general business health indicator such as liquidity? If neither of these, then it is a metric that you almost certainly don’t need! It should be removed!

Cluster similar stories Give each cluster a “nickname” e.g. • “All ins” • “Aspirationals” • “Bet hedgers” • “Boy scouts”
  • 26. sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc. You can’t just ask! Neeta, how fast would you like your pizza delivered? How predictable do you need us to be with our delivery estimate? Customers will tend to tell you they need better service and more features than they really need! Would you pay more for the things you say you need and want? No, probably not! Believe what customers actually do, do not believe what they say they’ll do! Actually behavior will vary from declared intent!
  • 27. sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc. Who knows your customers? Front line staff  Those who take and those who deliver orders  Those who provide “customer care”  Often the lowest paid staff in a business  Often the highest turnover, shortest tenured positions  And yet, they have the vital information that enables the business to survive, thrive and compete

  • 29. sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc. GT car manufacturer story A well known manufacturer of GT cars determined customers were prepared to wait 21 months to take delivery They learned this by letting delivery time slip to 27 months and receiving cancellations and customers switching to a rival manufacturer Determining fitness criteria thresholds by reducing service levels until customer complaints rise to dangerous levels isn’t a “safe to fail” approach! Damaging your brand, your reputation and your profitability is a strange way to discover how to be… “fit for purpose!”
  • 30. sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc. Retarding customer service until customers complain vehemently or take their business elsewhere could be damaging • Undermines brand • Damages reputation • Loss of market share • Loss of revenue Probing for threshold values by reducing service quality isn’t “safe to fail” Is it “safe to fail”? We need general guidance that allows us to probe for fitness criteria threshold values that is “safe to fail” If we can’t ask, and we can’t allow service to decline until complaints make the threshold evident, what can we do?
  • 31. sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc. Probing for Threshold Levels
  • 32. sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc. Look for clusters or patterns of demand, or patterns of similar expectations, or new sources of demand that may represent an emerging segment Probe with classes of service Create a class of service to respond to the believed new segment • Set service levels at or close to anticipated threshold levels
  • 33. sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc. Probe with classes of service Observe take up of class of service • Is it over-used? (or abused?) If so tighten qualification criteria • Is it under-used? Consider removing it • Is it used but you fail to deliver to expectations? Do people complain? If no then consider removing it. You are over promising Fixed delivery date class of service emerged this way. Initially abused by marketing, eligibility criteria were tightened up.

Telecom Equipment Example A platform maintenance department at a telecom equipment manufacturer receives demand only from internal application departments… … Each request is tagged with the originating telco operator for whom the request is being implemented. Each operator is given a lane on the kanban board

  • 37. sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc. To have confidence you are offering a service that is “fit for purpose”, you must offer different classes of service To serve more than one market segment adequately, you must offer a selection of classes of service Lesson
  • 38. sales@leankanban.com @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc. Classes of service should align to market segments and fitness criteria (or stakeholders needs) Lesson KPIs cannot be general! They need to be tied to customer expectations. Different segments have different expectations. Hence, different threshold levels of the KPI

Editor's Notes

  1. Fitness criteria are metrics that measure things customer or other external stakeholders value such as delivery time, quality, predictability, conformance to regulatory requirements or metrics that value actual outcomes such as customer satisfaction or employee satisfaction

  5. Traditional change is an A to B process. A is where you are now. B is a destination. B is either defined (from a methodology definition) or designed (by tailoring a framework). To get from A to B, a change agency* will guide a transition initiative to install destination B into the organization. *either an internal SEPG or external consultants
  6. Median is always less than the mean and lies between the mode and the mean. Median is less sensitive to the tail on distribution and hence less variable in the presence of assignable/special cause variation causing a long tail. However, it is the mean that is used in Little’s Law and therefore we do care about risks that affect the tail in the distribution when using Little’s Law to forecast.
