Rationale for Lean
•
•
•
•

Matured products
Standardized processes
Low variation in tasks
Narrow/Low expert requirements

•
•
•
•

Predictive work effort
Limited external interaction
Rule based workflow
Risk exposure

Realized Benefits
• Clarity on actual performance versus perception
• Analytic base to identity improvement & innovation opportunities
• Metrics to measure performance & confidence in new capabilities
• Efficient utilisation of resources, technology and capacity
• Improved accuracy, timeliness, risk control with less breaks, errors & open items
• 60% of capital market processes can be standardised using Lean to achieve savings
• Implementing a Lean programme has proven less expensive than Technology / Outsourcing /
Offshoring alternatives for matured products & processes
