Introduction
Resistance to Change and Kaizen
Lean Office

Resistance to Change
– Using this mathematical relationship: D x V x F < R
– Where all variables fall between a value from Zero to Ten:
» D - is the Level of Dissatisfaction and Care
» V - is the Vision
» F - is the First Step
» R - is the Resistance to Change
– When any variable on the left side of the equation equals Zero, the whole
value goes to Zero, NOTHING HAPPENS!
The Logic for Kaizen
Endless loop begins here

Dissatisfaction?

No Yes Yes No
R rules! D<>0? Care? Vision? Research
No
Yes

First Step


Introduction
Creating the Vision and Identifying Opportunities
Lean Office

Creating the Vision and Values
– Organizations can’t achieve change unless they have a picture or vision
of where they want to be (the desired future) and a set of values that
prescribes how they want to reach that future.
– Vision should consider the external environment, customer needs and
competition.
– Benchmarking against best-in-class companies is one way to ensure that
the vision is set high.
Identifying Opportunities
– Focus on core processes such as customer engagement, product,
process or service development as well as distribution. Those core
processes were not really considered by previous Lean efforts.
– Assess the company’s score card and target the most significant metrics.
– Identify activities that are key for the performance of those metrics.
– Typical core business processes and opportunities have the following
attributes: strategic importance, significant customer impact and
applicability to other regions, areas or divisions within the company.

– Presence of bottleneck departments
– Multiple iterations (of unpredictable duration) for problem resolution
– Lack of standard work practice and disparate routing
– Multiple, uncontrolled document copies in simultaneous circulation
– Presence of unofficial and/or uncontrolled expedite path (fast-track)
– Batching of documents
– Ineffective (or inexistent) workload scheduling
– Personal filing systems with incomplete, inconsistent and erroneous file
sites (official and unofficial)
– Production of reports which nobody uses
– Expense reporting systems

Introduction
Lean Office

Methodology:
– Forming a team:
» Minimize the number of members.
» Team members should have authority to implement changes.
» Include people that could be affected by the outcome.
» Include expert users of the target business process.
– Selecting work room location or electronic technology to use
– Training and introduction to the initiative: the Kickoff Meeting
– Understanding the Business Process Environment:
» Customers (characteristics, location, etc)
» Suppliers
» Business process purpose
» Inputs and outputs
» Boundaries
» Process owners
– Identifying all tasks in the process (using Post-It’s TM), assign an
individual code to each task (example AA, AB, AC, etc.)

Introduction
Lean Office

Methodology (..2):
– Estimating duration time for each task in the process, specifying
» Most optimistic completion time (o), or the minimum task time if everything
progresses ideally
» Most likely completion time (m), or the most probable task time under
normal conditions
» Most pessimistic completion time (p), or the maximum task time if significant
delays are encountered
– Using the Excel spreadsheet provided and assuming a Beta Distribution,
calculate the average or expected time for each task as well as its
standard deviation (tab: “Calc”). The following formulas will be applied:
Expected Time for each Task: te = ( o + 4*m + p ) / 6
Variance (degree of uncertainty): σ2 = [ ( p – o ) / 6 ]2
– Observing the standard deviation for each path (calculated):
Standard Deviation for Path: σ = SQRT ( Σ (variances of activities) )
– Identifying the critical (longest) path
– Creating the Macro Map on corresponding tab of Excel file (next section)


Introduction
Lean Office

Methodology (..3):
– Analyzing Data and targeting areas of opportunities
» Work load by group or individuals
» Level of uncertainty of each task
» Time statistics for the whole business process
– Clicking-down on each activity
» Clarify nature of activity
» Quantify distances traveled and resources involved
» Identify type of activity (Operation, transportation, inspection or storage)
» Classify activity in terms of value:
Value Add (VA): What the customer is willing to pay for
Non-Value Add (NVA): Customer is not willing to pay for, can be eliminated
Necessary but Non-Value-Add (NNVA): Customer is not willing to pay for but it
cannot be eliminated
– Evaluating the task summary information
– Completing all tasks / activity detailed analysis
– Documenting action plans to eliminate NVA and minimize NNVA


Using the Worksheet Tool and Data Analysis
Lean Office

Standards used on worksheet
– Blue Font: Indicates this field is provided by user, not protected
– Red Font: Indicates a calculated value, non-password protected
Includes the following tabs (use them in that order):
– Calc: Capture all path tasks timing to identify critical path
– Macro, with following data analysis sections:
» Header (A1:AC4): Identifies project general information and benchmark
» Tasks (B8:T78): Graphical representation of critical path with timing
» Resources table (V9:AC40): List of human resources involved
» Estimated Time by Resource Chart (U41:AE51)
» Estimated Time by Task Number (U52:AE61)
» Variance Time by Task Number (U62:AA71)
» Business Process Statistics (W73:AA83)
» Only available until detail activity analysis is done:

Click-down Analysis at Activity Level
Lean Office

Detailed analysis of each task:
– Select the corresponding tab for the task number to analyze (example
tab T02 for task number 2 and so on).
– List all activities involved on each task (B12:B46).
– Begin each sentence with a verb (example: wait, request, selects,
moves, etc.).
Quantitative assessment:
– Once distance and resources are quantified, classify every activity
(Operation, Transportation, Inspection, or Storage -or wait-), but do not
type anything on the template, yet. Just move the cursor to the
corresponding column.
– Assess the type of value added (VA / NVA / NNVA).
– If an activity is considered a VA, then type [‘+] – apostrophe and plus
sign under the corresponding column (Oper, Transp, Insp or Storage).
– For NVA type [‘-] – apostrophe and the minus sign.
– For NNVA type [‘0] – apostrophe and the number zero.
– Continue until classifying all activities listed for each task.

– On this example, from the macro map: it was determined that the
estimated average time (te) was 7 days or 56 hours or 3360 minutes.
The team confirmed activities for 3901 minutes, which is very close
(101.6% of original estimated time while doing the Macro Map).
– Unfortunately, only 151 minutes (or 3.87%) is Value Added activity.
– This activity should be improved or reduced by 3265 minutes (83.7%),
which corresponds to NVA, as a minimum.
– For the 485 minutes (12.43%) of NNVA, the team should try to get
something out of the system by either upgrading technology, combining
functions, etc. If no solution is feasible, keep these activities listed for
later discussion.

Action Items for Areas of Opportunity
Lean Office
The team now has enough information to VA
identify areas of opportunity: NNVA 5%
– Target all activities classified as storage, 26%
transportation and inspection. NVA
– Check for “off-the-shelf” products that might help 69%
optimize these NVA / NNVA activities.
– Eliminate batches or pushing jobs downstream.
Since this material is not yet “needed”, it must be
handled, counted, filed, searched, etc.: MUDA
– Consider continuous flow, combining activities, etc.
– Divide your current state macro map in sections or
loops.
– Identify the pacemaker loop (typically it is the
farthest downstream loop in the process).
– Use sub-sections or loops to make the future state
definition and implementation more manageable.
– Define process key metrics.
– Develop a business process improvement plan.

Don’t go for the home run!!

Lean Office

Specific Recommendations – a Short-run Action Plan
– Introduce document control. Incorporate version number, data,
distribution list and on every document.
– DO NOT Batch and Queue
– DO NOT fast-track / Expedite
» Improve the normal process so that lead time and confidence are adequate
to obviate the need for expediting.
» Prioritize strategically important products, but introduce them to the process
singly, not in batches.
– Identify push-pull triggers. Instigate continuity. Ideally these should all
be in the same direction – and that direction should be pull.
– Educate staff on how to identify and process VA activities. Also instruct
on waste identification.
– Instigate a corporate-wide project planning and prioritization procedure.
– Implement a process-wide workflow system to replace the disparate and
ineffectual systems currently in place. Ensure all team members have
access and training.

Lean Office
– Multi-skill staff to provide operational flexibility.
– Perform only a single validation check.
Key Elements of the Lean Value Stream:
– Specify what does and does not create value from the customer’s
perspective.
– Identify all the steps necessary to design, order and produce across the
whole value stream to highlight the non-value-adding waste.
– Make those actions that create value flow without interruptions, detours,
backflows, waiting or scrap.
– Only “make” what is pulled by the customer just-in-time.
– Create a dynamic transparency of strategies, cost and information in the
value stream.
– Focus on key processes, not just separate business departments.
– Strive for perfection by continually removing successive layers of waste.
as they are uncovered.


Measuring Success by Using the Project Tracker
Lean Office

Measurements
– Keep track of performance on the next business process events.
– Look for effectiveness of action plans implemented.
– Look for consistency.
– Use the “Tracker” tab attached to the Excel file.
