4. What is Lean?
“LEAN is…A systematic approach
to identifying and
eliminating non-value
added activities through
continuous
improvement, flowing
the product at the pull of
the customer in pursuit
of perfection
A methodology of eliminating waste.
— The MEP Lean Network
5. What is Waste?
“Anything other than the minimum amount
of equipment, materials, parts, space, and
worker’s time which are absolutely essential
to add value to the product.”
Waste is….

7. Defining Value
The Customer
The Customer
The Customer
Since only the customer defines value, it is critical to
figure out the real customer.
Ask: Who Cares??
Who Decides What Has Value?

Top 5 Time Management Tips
A systematic approach to identifying and eliminating non-value added activities through continuous improvement, flowing the product at the pull of the customer in pursuit of perfection
Emphasize the word “minimum”
Lean has been referred to as a common sense organization of effort and people wonder why they haven’t always done things that way
Instructor:
In your As-Is Permit process, how will you figure out what is non-value add?
Write down how you are going to do that when you and your team Plan for Round 2
Example: A building inspection from ADEQ that has pictures and detailed descriptions about what the building is for. Customer doesn’t need that – they know what their building looks like, and what it is for – they just need to know why it isn’t in compliance and what to do to comply. It is a waste for the inspector to take pics and write detailed descriptions.
Instructor:
A process is made up of many activities. Each activity falls into one of three buckets. We understand the three by starting from the customer’s perspective: What is valuable to the customer.
Activities or process steps are ONLY in the Valuable bucket if:
The customer wants them, they transform or change the product, and are done right the first time.
Everything else is Non-Value add – which can be further split into two categories:
Non-Value add but Necessary (in the short term)
Non Value Add
Ask what percent of a process is typically:
Value add. 3- 5%
Business value-add 10-15%
Non-value add 85%
Your challenge will be to find Non Value Add process steps and activities in the Dot Permit process so that you can take the Non-value add OUT of the process.
(Ask the class to think about, and write down ideas about what could be VA, NVA, NV but Necessary in the dot game – Pause quietly while they do this. Don’t create discussion at this point about the dot game. )
The following slides describe two Lean implementations in the Division of Child and Family Engagement (formerly known as the Division of Child Care Administration and the Arizona Early Intervention Program.)
The first story describes how the AZCCATS (systems) team adopted a traditional Agile/Kanban approach to software development.
The second story describes how the DCFE State Plan implementation team organized its efforts following the same Agile approach: Agile isn’t just for software engineers anymore!

Studies Show:
We spend 28% of our time on email … approximately 13 hours a week.
For every interruption, we need a minimum of 15 seconds to refocus
Even brief interruptions of 2.8 seconds, workers show 50% more errors
Most workers take 25 minutes to get back on task
Schedule Day First
Set priorities & block time. Keep clock visible for accountability. Schedule down & transition time
Tame your Email Habits
By using the hints In this presentation
Multitask Wiseley
Remember what interruptions do to efficiency and accuracy
Target to be Early
If not, you’re late
Just say no
Don’t over-book yourself or you won’t be able to give anything your “best”
