Kaizen for the Retail and POS Industry Hilary Corna
This document discusses Kaizen, which means "change for the better" in Japanese. It describes the four parts of Kaizen as Need, Genba (actual place), Application, and Team. It outlines the 8 steps of the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) process for continuous improvement. These include clarifying the problem, breaking it down, analyzing the root cause, developing countermeasures, seeing countermeasures through, and standardizing successful processes. Examples are provided for how Kaizen can be applied to different areas like sales, cash flow, and HR. Reasons for Kaizen failure and key Kaizen principles are also discussed.
Kaizen is a Japanese philosophy that focuses on continuous improvement of processes in business. The goals of Kaizen are to improve quality, reduce costs, and improve delivery timelines (QCD), which aligns with Western business goals. Kaizen utilizes suggestion systems to involve employees in identifying and solving problems at various organizational levels. Suggestions are evaluated based on criteria like the number of meetings held, participation rates, and the use of improvement tools. While Western and Japanese idea management systems originally differed, Kaizen concepts have been successfully adopted by some American companies by blending Kaizen with techniques like just-in-time production and total quality management.

Lean Startup - The Next Industrial Revolution - Day 1Ravi Yadav
Some potential problems they may have faced:
- The existing social media management tools were complex and difficult for non-technical users to understand and use effectively. This led to high failure/frustration rates among customers.
- There was no guidance or education provided on how to actually use social media effectively for business purposes. The tools focused only on the technical tasks but not the strategy.
- Customers had little time and patience to spend learning complicated tools. They wanted something simple that could help them get results quickly.
Question 2: How could they have defined and tested their vision using Lean Startup principles?
Kaizen refers to continuous improvement and involves recognizing problems, setting standards, and making constant small improvements. It is a gradual approach used by Japanese companies, focused on improving processes and involving employees. A Kaizen event is a short project to improve a specific process through analyzing the current state, designing improvements, and rearranging the process over 2-10 days with a cross-functional team. The goal is to recognize problems, standardize processes, empower employees to suggest improvements, and continuously make small steps to optimize operations.
The document discusses various quality improvement approaches and methodologies including those developed by Joseph Juran, Kaizen, reengineering, Six Sigma, and DMAIC/DMADV. It provides an overview of the key components and steps in Juran's approach of planning, control, and improvement. Additionally, it describes concepts such as Kaizen, reengineering, Six Sigma methodology and the DMAIC/DMADV processes.
It has been designed for businesses/entrepreneurs by making it simple and efficient, so they can easily understand and implement it.
I have tried to make it comprehensive presentation to train employees, staff, companies for them to adopt Lean 6 Sigma or just Lean, what tools to use, reduce the errors in the process whether in the commercial sector, manufacturing sector, service sector or in defence, thus improving the productivity and profitability in today's competitive business environment.

ABOUT THE TRAINING PROGRAM :-
Kaizen is a system of continuous improvement in quality, technology, processes, company culture, productivity, safety and leadership. Kaizen was created in Japan following World War II. It comes from the Japanese words (“Kai”) which mean "change" and ("Zen") which means "good". Kaizen provides a foundation for exceeding goals, expectations and improving overall company performance.
DESIGNED FOR :-
Sr. Engineer, Engineer, Supervisor and Foreman engaged in maintenance, operation, Store, Supply chain, Quality, Safety and Engineering activities.
OBJECTIVE :-
At the conclusion of the training each Participates will be able to:-
Reduce work place stress
Increase team contribution to the company's "bottom line.
Continuous improvements in PQCDSM parameters.
Increase speed, improve quality and reduce non-value-added costs.
Creating a fun working environment
The document discusses the concept of Kaizen, which is a Japanese philosophy of continual improvement. It was introduced by Masaaki Imai and means "change for better". The document outlines the benefits of Kaizen such as identifying waste and improving skills. It describes the seven types of waste as overproduction, waiting, transportation, excess processing, inventory, unnecessary movement, and defects. Additionally, it provides examples of Kaizen and notes that the goal is to establish continual improvement as part of daily work culture.
The lean team assessed the status of lean strategy implementation in an assembly unit of a company that specializes in low and medium voltage switchgear products. They formed a lean implementation team and defined key performance indicators like processing time. The existing assembly process was mapped and current performance was measured using Continuous Performance Measurement. Major wastes identified included long walk times, improper layout, and lack of tools at workstations. The lean tools implemented included redesigning the layout to reduce walking, separating tasks among operators to balance work, and providing necessary tools and parts at each station. After implementation, non-value added time decreased by 10 minutes, efficiency increased by 18%, and effectiveness increased by 22%, showing the methodology effectively improved operational performance.
The document discusses concepts related to continuous improvement methods Kaizen and Six Sigma. It defines Kaizen as ongoing improvement involving everyone, and describes its focus on productivity, quality culture and process-oriented approaches. Six Sigma aims for 3.4 defects per million opportunities through reducing variation and defects in processes. The methodology involves defining problems, measuring current performance, analyzing causes of variation, improving processes and controlling performance.

3. A key goal is establishing and refining daily huddles to communicate across levels and flow information throughout the hospital to know its daily status.
The leaders of the birth center, NICU, and respiratory care teams held a meeting to discuss ways to improve the newborn resuscitation process. They decided to use a Kaizen event, which examines workflows to identify and eliminate waste.
During the Kaizen event, they mapped the current resuscitation process and identified opportunities to streamline it. This included analyzing equipment placement, staff roles and positioning to reduce lag times. They tested changes for two weeks before finalizing role assignments and room setups.
The outcome was a smoother resuscitation process where staff knew their positions and responsibilities. Equipment and resources were ready so the team could focus on the baby as the customer. The changes eliminated wasted time
This document provides an overview and agenda for principles of Lean Six Sigma and CAPA. It discusses Lean Six Sigma strategies for improving quality, eliminating waste, reducing lead time and costs. The document defines value-added vs. non-value added activities and the seven most common types of waste. It explains how identifying and reducing waste can help reduce lead times and costs. The expected results of Lean Six Sigma implementation may include reductions in safety incidents, scrap, cycle times within 12 months. The document emphasizes analyzing processes to identify the three major contributors to waste: overburden/overdoing, unevenness and process methods.

Lean Operations at Staircases Production Company
Staircases Production Company (SPC) has achieved success through its traditional production methods for timber staircases. However, as Deane considers expanding the business, some elements of lean operations and just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing could help SPC improve efficiency and support growth. While a full-scale implementation of Toyota-style lean may not be practical for SPC's staircase cell, selective application of lean principles could yield benefits.
Task 1: To what extent could SPC apply JIT/Lean techniques to its staircase cell? As a small operation producing customized products in low volumes, SPC's staircase cell differs
Lean is a philosophy aimed at reducing waste and increasing value for customers. The document provides an overview of lean for an automotive supplier, including definitions of lean and what it is not. It discusses Ryder's lean journey since 2006 and their five guiding principles of people involvement, continuous improvement, short lead time, built-in quality, and standardization. Tools and methods for implementing lean are presented, along with the goals of highest quality, lowest cost, and shortest lead time. Sustaining a lean culture long-term is emphasized as the real benefit.
The document discusses organizational agility and how organizations need to change to adapt to the 21st century business environment. It notes that the rules and workforce have changed, requiring faster innovation, collaboration over silos, and flat organizations with servant leaders. To develop agility, an organization needs to focus on culture change through cross-functional teams and empowerment from the top down. Adopting agile practices can help organizations build better products faster and achieve both stability and dynamism. Potential pitfalls include a culture at odds with agile values or treating it as only an IT initiative. Measuring engagement and visible progress can indicate increased productivity and benefits of agility.
The document discusses the need for organizations to change from a traditional mass production model to a lean enterprise in order to remain competitive. It outlines some characteristics of companies that need change, such as large production lots and high costs. Going lean can improve quality, reduce costs and lead times, and increase productivity over several years. The lean enterprise strategy aims to eliminate waste and continually improve processes in order to better satisfy customers. Key lean tools and methods are also highlighted.

Nike has successfully implemented lean thinking strategies to become a top valued sports business. Nike aims to "make today better" and "design for the future" through lean thinking. Key lean strategies include encouraging employees to continuously learn new skills to work more productively, and designing products customers want. Nike employees embrace lean thinking as it outlines goals for their own self-improvement and developing desired products. Overall, Nike's lean strategies have helped them achieve brand success and influence in the athletic market.
The document discusses constraints to scaling and growing a business to be the best in the world. It identifies two main constraints: organizational constraints and individual constraints. Organizational constraints include culture, processes, structure, and leadership. Individual constraints center around whether a person believes they can become the best and their willingness to undergo the pain of learning. Learning is difficult because it requires change, but is the process by which knowledge and skills are acquired through experience. Overcoming constraints requires destroying old ways of thinking and creating a new culture focused on accountability, courage, agility, excellence and synergistic collaboration.

lean management is
the facilitation of lean
principles by analyzing
a company’s
procedures to increase
safety, capacity and
quality thus improving
profitability through the
elimination of waste.

6. Purpose & Scope
Lean principles offer tangible solutions to
drastically cut waste, thereby improving quality,
productivity and profitability.
The fundamentals of Lean embrace the
identification and elimination of waste throughout
the entire supply chain, ultimately resulting in a
more efficient business environment.
This program teaches the fundamentals and
techniques of Lean management, and facilitates
the follow-up skills necessary to achieve successful
results from the shop floor to the top floor.

10. Lean is Market Driven
Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it
must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun
the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.
It doesn’t matter whether
you are a lion or a
gazelle—when the sun
comes up, you had better
be running.

27. 5 Principles of lean
The five-step thought process for guiding the implementation of lean
techniques is easy to remember, but not always easy to achieve:
1. Specify value from the standpoint of the end customer by product
family.
2. Identify all the steps in the value stream for each product family,
eliminating whenever possible those steps that do not create value.
3. Make the value-creating steps occur in tight sequence so the product
will flow smoothly toward the customer.
4. As flow is introduced, let customers pull value from the next upstream
activity.
5. As value is specified, value streams are identified, wasted steps are
removed, and flow and pull are introduced, begin the process again and
continue it until a state of perfection is reached in which perfect value is
created with no waste.

Enterprise
‘Taiichi Ohno, Shigeo Shingo and Eiji Toyoda“
developed the TPS system between 1948 and 1975.
These men came to America and observed mass
production along with the assembly line. They also
observed how supermarkets operated.
29
30. Shortening the Production Cycle
“The longer an article is in the process of
manufacture and the more it is moved about,
the greater is its ultimate cost.”
Henry Ford, 1926
Henry Ford developed the
assembly line that
revolutionized mass production.
30
31. Defining Lean
“A systematic approach to identifying and Eliminating Waste (non-
value-added activities) through continuous improvement by flowing the
product at the pull of the customer in pursuit of perfection.”
The MEP (Manufacturing Extension Partnership)
Lean Network
“An organized war on waste.”
Lean has been defined in many different
ways.
31
32. Definition of Value Added
Value Added
Any activity that increases the market form or function of the product or
service. (These are things the customer is willing to pay for.)
Non-Value Added
Any activity that does not add market form or function or is not
necessary. (These activities should be eliminated, simplified, reduced,
or integrated.)
32
33. Internal vs. External Customer
Internal Customer
Anyone within an organization who at any
time is dependent on work that you do
within the organization
External Customer
The consumer of the product or service
outside of your organization

39. Kaizen
Kaizen is a Japanese philosophy of action which signifies change for the better.
• The word ‘Kai’ means to take apart and make new, while
• the word ‘Zen’ means to think about so as to help others
Kaizen is driven by two imperatives:
• Solve problems
• Eliminate waste (‘Muda’)
We apply Kaizen principles repeatedly to continually improve
the processes used everyday. Therefore:
Kaizen = Thoughtful Acts of Continuous Improvement 39

62. What is a Value Stream
A Value Stream is the set of all actions (both
value added and non value added) required to
bring a specific product or service from raw
material through to the customer.
• “Whenever there is a product
(or service) for a customer,
• there is a value stream. The
challenge lies in seeing it.”
62
63. “The purpose of a Value Stream Map is to identify
What’s going on and where it’s going wrong”
Joe Perillo
63
64. Value Stream Map
One of the most important tools of a
lean management analyst is the
process of value stream mapping.
A value stream map outlines in detail
every step of the process in its current
state by documenting material and
information flows.
This allows the team to visually see
the non value added waste within the
process.
Once the waste has been identified,
action plans are established to reduce
or eliminate the waste thus improving
the efficiency of the process.
64
65. Value Stream Mapping Process
Follow a “product” or “service” from
beginning to end, and draw a visual
representation of every process in the
material & information flow.
Then, draw (using icons) a “future
state” map of how value should flow.

73. The Five Step Value Stream Process Review
1. Specify value from the standpoint of the end
customer.
2. Identify all the steps in the value stream and
eliminate whenever possible those steps that do
not create value.
3. Make the value-creating steps occur in tight
sequence so the product or service will flow
smoothly toward the customer.
4. As flow is introduced, let customers pull value
from the next upstream activity.
5. As value is specified, value streams are
identified, wasted steps are removed, and flow
and pull are introduced, begin the process
again and continue it until a state of perfection
is reached in which perfect value is created with
no waste.

76. Definition
• Sort out necessary and unnecessary items.
• Store items used frequently at the work area, infrequently
used items store away from the work area, and dispose of items
that are not needed.
Why
• Gain Space
•Easier to visualize the process
• Safer work area
•Remove waste “Muda”
Remember
• Sort though all items in one area.
• Red tag items which can not be removed right away.
• Make sure everyone in the area agrees that an item should be
removed.
• Make sure reasons for keeping items are viable.
Examples
• Many documents in the work area are never
used. Remove them.
• Crowded offices often have blocked aisles,
making the space feel confined. Open up the
aisles. Are the items needed?
• Extra furniture contributes to the clutter.
Remove unused furniture.
SORT (Decide on what is needed)
76
77. SET IN ORDER
Definition
• Arrange all necessary items.
• Designate areas for all items.
• A place for everything and everything in its place.
Why
• Eliminate searching for items.
• Visually show what is out of place.
• Make it easier to do the work required.
Remember
• Use labels, signs, tape, & shadows to make it easy to locate
items.
• Items which are used together, should be kept together.
• Locate sharable items in a central location.
• It should be easy to find everything.
Examples
• Label filing cabinets to make it easier to find
files.
• Items have good visual controls.
• Keep only the amount you need at the work
station.
(Arrange needed items for ease of use)

79. Results of Sort and Set In Order:
After:Before:
No organization leads to
missing tools and
equipment. Time to search
for correct tool is pure
waste.
Tools are now
organized and
labeled for quick
retrieval. Each tool
has a designated
area for storage.
79
80. SHINE (Cleanliness)
Definition
• To keep the area clean on a continuing basis.
Why
• To keep area from getting dirty in the first
place, so we don’t have to clean it up
afterwards.
• A clean workplace is nicer to work in.
• A clean workplace is indicative of a quality
product and process.
• Dust and dirt cause potential health problems
and many people have allergies to them.
Remember
• Clean all areas, including cabinet top and insides.
• Vacuum / Dust / Mop / Paint
Examples
• Equipment and furniture should look “like
new”
• All documents should look like they were
just posted or printed.
80
81. Shine – Clean and inspect. Team members cleaning target areas.
81
82. STANDARDIZE (Maintain the first 3S’s)
Definition
• To maintain guidelines - Sort, Set In Order, Shine
Why
• Prevents regression back to an unclean /
disorganized environment.
• Eliminates the need for “Special Clean-up
Efforts”
Remember
• Develop schedules and checklist.
• Evaluate the areas using the 5S ratings.
• Continually improve neatness
Examples
• Maintain furniture and equipment by using
schedules.
• 5S Ratings posted and continually updated.
82
83. The 3 Elements of Standardized Work
1. Takt time, which is the rate at which
products must be made in a process to
meet customer demand
2. The precise work sequence in which
an operator performs tasks within Takt
time
3. The standard inventory, including units
in machines, required to keep the
process operating smoothly 83
85. SUSTAIN (Disciplined Culture)
Definition
• To maintain discipline, we need to practice and repeat until it
becomes a way of life.
• Always look for ways to improve your area.
Why
• To build ‘housekeeping” into the everyday
process.
• To keep from falling back to the unclean /
unorganized area that use to exist.
Remember
• Training everyone is vital.
• Involvement from all is necessary.
• Commitment and discipline toward 5S is essential in taking
the first step to being World Class
Examples
• Everyone keeps their furniture, equipment,
supplies organized and spotless daily.
• Always look for ways to do things easier and
more efficiently.

91. Measuring Your Business
Implement lean tactics that achieve the objectives by prioritizing the lean
efforts for the greatest gains.
Establish metrics that incorporate lean initiatives that drive the
organization to achieve the objectives.
Work in effectively in cross functional teams
Governance—establishing organizational structures that will accelerate
the rate of decision-making within your company.
Roles and responsibilities—defining divisions of responsibilities to
intelligently balance resources for organizational change with capabilities
and knowledge.
Performance management and incentives—implementing effective new
systems of organizational change measurement, feedback, and
compensation to identify and reward the true drivers of performance at the
individual, functional, and corporate level.
Organizational structure—streamlining reporting and management
structures and ensuring they are suitable for your decision-making
processes and targeted measures of success.
91
93. Maximizing Results Via Metrics
To maximize the effectiveness of the organization’s
efforts,
it is necessary to have:
Clear, high-level goals,
The means to make those goals meaningful to
persons throughout the organization, and
A system to review and modify goals at all levels as
the situation evolves.
The basis for this system is the metric.
Show me how a person or organization is measured,
and I’ll tell you how the person/organization is behaving.
93
94. Dashboards Definition
“Dashboards” are a compilation of standardized performance
measures. These measurements are designed to:
Facilitate achieving objectives
Provide feedback
Enable learning
Dashboard measurements should accomplish each of the above at
all levels of the company.
They should be clearly defined, simple to produce, and easily
understood by users.
Dashboards are the tactical tool used to measure and track project
performance.
94
95. Management of Goals:
Dashboards – Used to measure and track performance to meet
operational goals.
Determine key performance indicators in four areas which cover
the past, present and future of the firm:
Financial – Share price, sales, profits, return on investment.
External – Customer satisfaction “On Time Delivery”, warranty
returns, repeat orders, market share.
Internal – Business process performance, operational efficiency,
scrap rates, R&D cycle times, employee turnover.
Learning and Growth – Staff training, suggestions made and
implemented, percentage of work hours working in teams.
95
96. Dashboards Should...
Be well integrated, ensuring that every level
of the organization has metrics that support
the goals and strategies of the entire
enterprise
Drive accountability for achieving goals
throughout the organization
Be well-balanced – measuring improvement
in multiple, balanced metrics to ensure
driving the right behavior
96
98. Dashboards need to meet your
business requirements
Develop dashboard metrics that will meet the
business requirements depending on the complexity
or simplicity of your organization.

102. SSupplyupply CChainhain MManagementanagement
Supply Chain (SC): the sequence of
organizations - their facilities, functions, and
activities - that are involved in producing
and delivering a product or service
Facilities include warehouses, factories,
processing centers, distribution centers,
retail outlets, and offices
Sometimes referred to as value chains
102
103. The goal of every firm should be to maximize the
financial and service performance of the company.
In order to do that, you need to make sure you’re focusing in on your
customers with the right strategies in a specific sequence.
Focus on the customer through the service strategy, this means supporting
the current and perspective customers.
Maximizes the service objectives that meet the financial goals of the firm.
Make sure you have the right inventory strategy- and that strategy lines
up with the Customer Service Strategy.
The Production Strategy utilizing lean principles that also incorporate the
cultural impact on the people within the organization.
The Procurement Strategy that supports the production strategy.
The Logistics Strategy that supports the internal and external customer.
The Distribution Strategy that supports the external customer.
All these strategies prioritized in that order must align with the financial and service objectives of the
company that will meet the perfect order metric. There is an order to going about addressing each one so
they line up making sure the performance measurements provide feedback in making sure these strategies
line up. 103
104. Is the firm meeting the perfect order metric?
The Right Product in the
Right Quantity to the
Right Destination in the
Right Condition at the
Right Time with the
Right Documentation for the
Right Cost.
Most companies only focus on one and then try to optimize that area
alone, forgetting that they must all fit and be aligned. 104
105. Leaders need to ask themselves these
questions.
Is the customer satisfied with the level of
service they are receiving?
What improvements have we made to
improve the area that does not meet the
customer’s level of service requirements
or the financial goals of the firm?

122. Learning to See Through the
Symptoms
“Find the Root Cause”
122
123. 5 Whys
Often, just like a doctor, we see
symptoms (fever, nausea).
To get to the underlying cause (the
disease) or the “root cause”, we need
to ask the question “Why” 5 times.
123
124. 5 Whys Example
Problem Statement:
You are on your way home from work and your
car stops in the middle of the road
What are some solutions to this problem?

126. Follow the Symptoms to the Root Cause
A woman meets with her
Doctor to address a pain
in her shoulder.
The Dr attributes it to
normal aches and pains
and prescribes a pain
reliever.
Question:
Did the Dr treat the
symptom or the cause? 126
127. Follow the Symptoms to the Root Cause
By seeing through
the symptoms the
Dr could have
asked several
questions that
would have lead to
the cause of the
pain.
127
128. Root Cause Analysis
Why do sales drop off at a specific time of year?
A grocery store located in the upper Midwest could
not understand why at a certain time every winter
sales plummeted. They studied their product line and
interviewed customers. They did everything possible
to uncover the mystery. Finally, someone made a
remarkable discovery that changed everything.
128
129. Follow the Symptoms to the Root Cause
It seemed that whenever it was really cold outside, the
manager raised the temperature in the store. When
customers came into the store it was too warm for
them, so they removed their coats and placed them in
their shopping carts. This meant less room for food and
resulted in reduced sales overall. They lowered the
temperature of the store, and as a result, the sales
climbed back to the levels they were accustomed to.
Their adjustment resulted in restoring sales levels.
129
130. Be Patient
As you walk through your plant, waiting room, service
area, purchasing department, accounting department
etc…
Look through the symptoms of waste such as rejects,
waiting, unnecessary movement, long lead times,
poor customer satisfaction etc…
These are opportunities for continuous improvement
but we will miss the chance to solve the root cause if
we stop short at only fixing the symptoms.
130
132. Servant- Leadership Defined
Servant leadership is defined as an
approach to leadership development, which
emphasizes the leader’s role as steward of
the resources (human, financial and
otherwise) provided by the organization.
It encourages leaders to serve others while
staying focused on achieving results in line
with the organization’s values and integrity.
133. Servant Leader
A servant leader serves constituents by
working on their behalf to help them achieve
their goals, not the leader’s own goals.
Places service before self-interest
Listens first to express confidence in others
Inspires trust by being trustworthy
Focuses on what is feasible to accomplish
Lends a hand
Provides tools
134. Servant Leadership
Continuous improvement or lean tools are important foundational strategies,
but they can't deliver effective or sustainable results unless we establish an
organization that promotes a continuous learning environment.
This requires leaders with a teachable spirit or leaders that want to create a
safe environment that promotes problem solving through experimentation.
Creating this kind of environment in an organization changes the role of a
leader from boss to teacher, from manager to coach or as some would call,
a servant leader.
If you review the role of a leader you can see that they serve the people
they lead by giving them the tools, resources, support, direction and vision
that ultimately reach the customer.
This type of leadership creates an organization that is continually learning
along with developing and organization of problem solvers.
135. Ten Characteristics of Servant Leadership
Listening
Empathy
Healing
Awareness
Persuasion
Conceptualization
Foresight
Stewardship
Commitment to
growth of others
Building
Community
Larry Spears, director of the Robert K Greenleaf
Center for Servant Leadership, identified ten
characteristics.
136. Commitment to the Growth of Others
Servant-leaders believe that people have
an intrinsic value beyond their tangible
contributions as workers.
Servant-leaders are deeply committed to a
personal, professional, and spiritual growth
of all individuals in the organization.
As we grow the organization, there is still a
need to build a sense of community.
137. “Leadership Through Influence Rather than Influence Through Leadership”
Joe Perillo
There is a saying, “it is far
more impressive to see a
flock of sheep following a
lion rather than a lion
following a flock of sheep”.
137
138. The Law of Influence
What platform have you built for
performance?
What is your track record?
What daily actions enhance your ability to
influence your organization?
Leadership Lesson:
“True leadership cannot be awarded,
appointed or assigned. It comes from
influence.”
“The True Measurement of Leadership Is Influence – Nothing More, Nothing Less”
138
139. Leadership Through Influence
Leadership is a complex function, as a leader you are many things to many people with
different needs and abilities. Leading people with these challenges requires skills that
do not always come naturally and in some cases the skills you learned will not get you
to the next level of success.
Your past success has gotten you to where you are. To get to the next level
requires learning new skills, mastering new things. And as a leader the way we
ultimately become successful is by getting greater results from those we lead.
The same way a football coach can’t win a game by themselves we see clearly to be a
successful leader we must become great coaches of others.
Zig Ziglar may have said it best: “You can get anything in life you want, if you are
willing to help enough other people get what they want.”
Leadership and coaching go hand in hand when working with people to accomplish a
goal or task. As you develop others you help them get the job satisfaction, peace of
mind, security that comes with greater skills, and opportunities. As a leader and a
coach we must encourage, persuade and support.
The leadership through influence philosophy blends the role of leader and coach as you
lead as a lean management analyst so you can be successful by helping others
become more effective and efficient. 139
140. “DON’T LET WHAT YOU KNOW GET IN
THE WAY OF YOUR GROWTH”

Joe Perillo
141. Manager vs. Leader
For many people in business,
obtaining a master's degree
has been instrumental in their
career achievements.
However, some masters degree
curriculums teach people how
to be managers, not how to be
leaders.
The problem is that almost all
continuous-improvement efforts
require leaders, not managers.
141
142. Developing Lean Leaders
It is the behavior of leaders that matters since they create the culture.
Leaders develop and communicate the vision that shape the
environment of the organization and the way it operates.
Developing leaders who will sustain, support and build a lean culture
involves training and developing leaders who have influence.
The “Leadership through influence rather than influence through
leadership” model teaches that true cultural change can only happen
when people follow leaders who lead by example.
Lean is more than just improving operations. It is every step between
the customer and order fulfillment.
Often considerable value can be achieved by applying lean principles
but true cultural change comes from a coordinated leadership
approach to bring it all together.
142
143. Four Foundational Pillars
Leaders
Model the Way
Focus on the Future
Empower Employees
Strategy
Vision is Set and Continuously Shared
Tactics Roll Up and Down Through the organization
Culture
Data Drives Decision Making
Do What is Best for the Organization
Accountability is ExpectedOperational Excellence
The relentless pursuit of perfection
1.Leadership (Model the way, Provide Support, Have a Servant Attitude)
2.Culture (Continuous improvement attitude)
3.Operational Excellence (Perfect order, on time delivery & inventory management)
4.Strategic Vision (Provide the vision, set the course, follow-up and follow Through)
143
145. Cultural Change
Achieving true cultural change one has to be
committed to being teachable and driven to create an
environment of continuous improvement.
To implement lean or anything associated with
business process improvement requires leaders who
are honest with themselves and the people they lead
In general people are comfortable with not changing,
they are happy with the “status quo” its easer not
having to confront or challenge current practice.
Your challenge will be to influence cultural change
through your actions as a leader.
145
146. “Culture Shock”
As a lean leader you will be challenged to lead
diverse groups that are either just starting out
with little experience or have many years of
experience.
In each circumstance they bring their own
unique set of challenges one of which is a
cultural shock
146
147. Changing the Culture
As you begin your lean journey you will encounter two realities when taking on lean
transformation.
1. The first involves the physical changes that help reduce waste.
2. The second involves the changing of the existing culture.
Experienced lean practitioners understand that making physical changes in the
reduction of waste is much easier than changing the cultural landscape of an
organization.
Sustainability is the key to long term effectiveness and the only way we can achieve
sustainability is by changing the culture.
Creating a new standard of how people approach a challenge or a problem even how
they work. The change in culture also applies to how people approach each other and
how they communicate.
Measuring organizational performance will change the focus from the individual to the
entire team.
A continuous improvement culture requires more than just going through the motions of
a physical plant layout or process changes, it requires a change in how we approach
everything we do. 147
148. “Is There a Better Way”
One of the eight wastes is the underutilization of people. In a
traditional operation the culture usually pushes the ideas from
management down to the front lines. In a lean culture the ideas are
coming from the experts who do the job every day.
Management is responsible to create an environment that allows for
ideas to flow freely in a non threatening environment even when
mistakes are made.
Management is responsible for creating a culture that drives the
entire organization to ask the question “Is there a better way”
Once we begin asking the questions “Is there a better way” it is the
responsibility of management to create the vision and support all
efforts that will help the organization succeed.
148
149. Teachable Spirit
At the heart of any change is the individual with
a teachable spirit, without it change will not
happen because the individual believes his or
her way is best.
The basic principle of continuous improvement
is that perfection is pursued and not achieved.
If perfection is achieved it is short lived due to
changes in technology, material and customer
requirements.
149
150. Breaking Records
World records are
achievements of perfection
but records were meant to
be broken, history has
proven this time and time
again.
Individuals who set out to
break these records,
challenged the status quo
by confronting the methods
of achieving a new world
record by becoming faster
and stronger.
150
151. “An organization that lacks leaders with a
teachable spirit cannot influence true
cultural change”
Joe Perillo
151
The scene represents an awakening from our inability to see waste in our value stream. Waste is limiting our ability to increase our competitive advantage. The awakening represents an individual that truly understands and utilizes lean principles which allows them to eliminate or reduce waste in any process thus creating the leverage opportunity needed to gain both a competitive advantage and the ability to deliver additional value to the customer.
