Assessing your Lean management implementation periodically is not just wise—it's essential. The Lean Management System Assessment (LMA) tool is grounded in the core principles of plan, do, check, act (PDCA), a fundamental aspect of Lean philosophy. It meticulously evaluates both process and behavior standards, defining five levels of maturity that can be applied across all levels of your organization.
This assessment isn't just a routine check—it's a strategic tool that clarifies your organizational goals and personal objectives. It provides a detailed snapshot of your current status relative to your standards and historical performance. Moreover, it's a compass that directs your attention to areas requiring improvement, ensuring your efforts are both focused and effective.
Adapted from the acclaimed work "Creating A Lean Culture" by David Mann, the Lean Assessment Framework stands out as a simpler, more practical alternative to the Shingo Model and the Baldrige Excellence Framework. It features eight comprehensive dimensions or categories, a user-friendly five-level maturity scale, and a straightforward 5-point scoring system that can be employed by individuals or teams.
The LMA tool provides an excellent resource for Lean or Operational Excellence Consultants who plan to use it as a holistic organizational diagnostic tool prior to recommending solutions to the client. It functions as a comprehensive organizational diagnostic tool, allowing consultants to gain a deep understanding of the client's operations before recommending tailored solutions. By utilizing the LMA, consultants can effectively identify areas for improvement, develop targeted strategies, and guide their clients towards achieving sustainable operational excellence.
In essence, the Lean Management Assessment isn't just a tool—it's a pathway to operational excellence. It offers a structured and insightful method to evaluate and enhance your Lean implementation, providing invaluable guidance for continuous improvement and sustainable progress.
BENEFITS OF ASSESSMENT:
1. The dimensions and questions themselves should help to clarify what you are working toward, for yourself and for the rest of your organization.
2. An assessment should tell you where you stand relative to your standards and relative to your earlier status.
3. The results of an assessment will help you identify where you need to focus efforts to improve.

a. The title of the experiment
b. Your name and the names of any lab partners
c. Your teacher’s name
d. The date the lab was performed
2. INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE
Usually the Introduction is one paragraph (5-6 sentences) that explains the objectives or purpose of the lab.
This should be where you state your hypothesis. This section should be written in complete sentences and
should connect lab concepts to class content. The introduction should provide background information on the
history of the concept tested, scientists, theories, and any laws tested in the experiment. It should also contain
any prior knowledge on which the experiment is based including explanations of principles, definitions,
experimental techniques, theories, and laws.
3. MATERIALS
List everything needed to complete your experiment and include the purpose of each item. This includes all
equipment, reagents, and computer programs used to complete the experiment. Drawing of the apparatus
set-up should be included in this section if needed.
4. PROCEDURE
List the steps you completed during your investigation. Be sufficiently detailed so that anyone could read this
Section and duplicate your experiment. Write it as if you were giving directions. Try to use an action verb at the
beginning of each sentence. Number your steps.
5. DATA
Numerical data obtained from you procedure usually is presented as a table. Data encompasses what you
recorded when you conducted the experiment. It is the facts only, not any interpretation of what they mean.
6. RESULTS + ANALYSIS
Results describe in words what the data means.
The Data section contains numbers. The Analysis section contains any calculations you made based on those
number. This is where you interpret the data and determine whether or not a hypothesis was accepted. This is
also where you would discuss any mistakes you might have made while conducting the investigation. You
might also wish to include ways this study might have been improved
**FIGURES & GRAPHS
Graphs and figures must both be labeled with a descriptive title. Label the axes on the graph, being sure to
include units or measurement. Your teacher will instruct you as to when graphs and figures are appropriate and
which ones to include
7. CONCLUSION
Conclusions are usually a single paragraph that sums up what happened in the experiment, whether your
hypothesis was accepted or rejected and what this means.

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

2. The A3 Method
A3 refers to a European paper size that is
roughly equivalent to an American 11-inch by
17-inch tabloid-sized paper. The A3 format is
used by Toyota as the template for three
different types of reports:
Proposals
Status reports
Problem solving
Prepared By Md. Arshaful Hoque Head of
Compliance (HKD Tent Division)
3. What and Why A3?
Anytime you wish to clearly tell a story, especially
when you wish to simplify or clarify a complicated
issue
Can be used as a jumping off point for Kaizen
Provides a clear and concise method of reporting
information
Method of operation is visible and accessible to all
A continuous improvement activity
Use to teach problem-solving
Creates efficient working environment
Prepared By Md. Arshaful Hoque Head of
Compliance (HKD Tent Division)
4. The A3 Method
There is no “magic” in the steps through which the
structured A3 Problem Solving template takes a
team. These steps are basically:
1. Identify the problem or need
2. Understand the current situation/state
3. Develop the goal statement – develop the target state
4. Perform root cause analysis
5. Brainstorm/determine countermeasures
6. Create a countermeasures implementation plan
7. Check results – confirm the effect
8. Keep the plan in place!
Prepared By Md. Arshaful Hoque Head of
Compliance (HKD Tent Division)
5. BACKGROUND TARGET CONDITION/GOAL STATEMENT
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
CURRENT CONDITION/PROBLEM STATEMENT
ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS
Indicate the magnitude of the
problem and specific effects on the
business on a qualitative scale, using
graphics if available.
Make the business case for selecting
the problem. Clearly state how the
problem impacts the business.
Why are we experiencing this
problem. Use a root cause tool like
fish bone, 5-why's or Pareto.
What are you trying to achieve and
by when. Predict the expected
improvement, specifically and
quantitatively.
List actions that will be taken by
whom and by when, in order to
realize the target condition.
How will the effectiveness of the plan be
measured, when will it be measured and by
whom. Record results of follow-up.

9. The Problem Solving Template (A3)
The A3 Problem Solving template lays out an entire plan,
large or small, on one sheet of paper.
It should be visual and extremely concise.
It should tell a story, laid out from upper left-hand side to
lower right, which anyone can understand.
What is important is not the format, but the process and
thinking behind it.
It fosters dialogue.
It develops problem solvers.

15. Final thoughts
A3s are deceptively simple.
A3 reports — and more importantly the
underlying thinking —embody a critical core
strength of a lean company.
A3s serve as mechanisms for managers to
mentor others in root-cause analysis and
scientific thinking, while also aligning the
interests of individuals and departments
throughout the organization by encouraging
productive dialogue and helping people learn
from one another.
