Your Instructor  Early career as a scientist; migrated to quality & operations design in the mid-80’s.  Launched Karen Martin & Associates in 1993; applied Total Quality Management.  Introduced to Lean in 2000.  Specialize in Lean transformations in nonmanufacturing environments.  Co-author of The Kaizen Event Planner; co-developer of Metrics-Based Process Mapping: An Excel-Based Solution.  Instructor in University of California, San Diego’s Lean Enterprise program. © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates Karen Martin, Principal Karen Martin & Associates 2
Learning Objectives Participants will learn:      Organizational benefits of Lean and timeframes for achieving them. Lean as an overall business management philosophy vs. “Lean Lite” for process improvement. Core Lean principles and tools. How Lean shifts culture. Key success factors in the transformation process. © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates 3

Problem-Solving Steps { Plan 50-80% of the total time Do Check Act © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates 1. Identify the problem 2. Explore the problem  What’s the true root cause? 3. Consider potential solutions  Hypothesize 4. Test solutions  Confirm hypothesis 5. Implement solution(s) 6. Measure results  Did the hypothesis prove out? 7. Adjust as needed 11
Most People… Underestimate the power of Lean. Underestimate what it takes to “become” Lean. © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates 12
Transforming Takes Time Lean is a long-term business strategy. © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates 13
Journey to a Lean Enterprise “Life is Good” Stage Years 5 & Beyond Company-wide engagement – everywhere, all the time Support needed only for audits, bandwidth gaps, continued learning • Daily kaizen is the norm • “Action now” dominates • Most processes are stabilized with minimal waste and output variation “Settling In” Stage Years 3 & 4 Greater staff engagement – reduced need for formal Kaizen Events Light support from seasoned improvement professionals • Demonstrating learned competencies • Process owners manage performance • Becoming more proactive “Disruption” Stage Years 1 & 2 Small percentage of staff engaged – project-based Heavy support from seasoned improvement professionals • Sensei-dominated • Much mentoring & learning • Heavy use of Kaizen Events • Many issues to be resolved 14
Competencies That Must Be Developed Lean Leadership     Problem-solving Setting clear strategies Developing and entrusting the frontlines with tactics Modeling Lean behaviors Improvement Professionals    Problem-solving Technical skills – Lean tools Change management / psychology Workforce  Problem-solving © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates 15
Where to Begin? Systematic Approach     Define product families Select one for improvement Create Value Stream Maps Begin implementing improvement The “Fire” Approach  Select a problem to be solved  Tied to business goals  Use A3 Problem-Solving to solve it © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates 16
Building a Lean Enterprise
Customer-Defined Value Value-Adding (VA) - any operation or activity your external customers value and are (or would be) willing to pay for. Non-Value-Adding (NVA) - any operation or activity that consumes time and/or resources but does not add value to the product (good or service) the customer receives.   Necessary – support processes, regulatory requirements, etc. Unnecessary – everything else - WASTE 18
Work Effort as Defined by the External Customer Unnecessary Non-value adding Necessary Non-valueadding Value-adding
Eight Wastes (Muda) Overproduction Inventory Waiting Over-Processing Errors © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates Motion (people) Transportation (material/data) Underutilized people 20
Value Stream Defined Value Stream: All of the activities, required to fulfill a customer request from order to delivery (and beyond to cash received). Value Stream Process Process Process Custom er Customer Request © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates Customer Receipt 21
Why Value Stream Mapping? To set strategy before diving into tactics. Enables us to SEE the process. Promotes systems thinking / seeing the whole  Helps us avoid sub-optimizing © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates 22

Improvement Roles Strategic Who? Accountability Tool Leadership “What has to happen” Value Stream Mapping “How it will happen” Kaizen Events, Just-do-its, and Projects Tactical Middle Management Workforce © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates 35
Kaizen Event – Definition A two- to five-day focused improvement activity during which a sequestered, cross-functional team designs and fully implements improvements to a defined process or work area, generating rapid results and learned behavior. Karen Martin & Mike Osterling The Kaizen Event Planner, 2007 © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates 36
When do you need a Kaizen Event? Rapid change is desired. Hands-on learning is desired. You want to “bake” the improvement process into the organizational DNA You want to shift culture by engaging the frontlines in problem solving.  Leadership stays out of tactical details. © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates
5-Day Kaizen: Sample Structure Day 1 & 2 (Plan) Day 3 & 4 (Do, Check) Day 5 (Check, Act) © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates Kick-off (executive presence) Analyze current state Perform root cause analysis Design future state Interim briefing Design & test improvements Obtain buy-in Interim briefing Finalize improvements Train process workers & stakeholders Present results CELEBRATE! 38

Kaizen Event Results Reduced medication delivery interruptions by 75%. Secured an exclusive 2-year contract with key customer.  Freed 1.4 FTEs in streamlined discharge process. Reduced scrap by $6,876 per year. Produced twice as much “road mix” at half the cost. Reduced lead time for purchasing process from 10 to 2.5 days. © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates 41
A3 Problem-Solving 42
Lean Transformation vs. “Lean Lite” Lean Transformation “Lean Lite” Full leadership engagement & development 1 or 2 leaders leading the way Improvement heavily strategic; closely tied to business goals “Random acts of kaizen” Full adoption of the Lean philosophy Selective use of the tools Dedicated internal resources Shared resources Significant investment in skill development Expected to “figure it out” Heavy use of external support for first 1-2 years Internal resources only Holistic approach to improvement Silo’d thinking & behaving Frontlines heavily engaged in the improvement process Improvement resources or leadership drive improvement 43
The Transformation Process: Key Success Factors  Strong sense of urgency / burning platform  Leadership alignment around strategy  Improvement priorities are closely tied to organizational strategy and annual business goals.  Value-stream driven improvements.  To avoid change fatigue, improve one value stream at a time.  Heavy use of Kaizen Events in first 1-3 yrs.  4 Events per 100 employees per year  Dedicated improvement resources.  1 FTE: 100 employees  Entire workforce receives exposure to Lean and becomes skilled in problem-solving.  Concurrent leadership development. © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates 44
Lean Benefits - Financial Reduced expenses    Reduced requirements for equipment and supplies Reduced space requirements Reduced head count for existing work Improved cash flow  Faster billing and collections Increased revenue    Recaptured lost revenue New revenue sources Greater market share – customers want the highest quality products, delivered the fastest, at lowest cost. © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates 45
Lean Benefits - People  Improved productivity  Reduced sick time, workers’ comp, etc.  Better safety  Less stress / frustration  Reduced interpersonal and interdepartmental tension  Greater engagement / higher satisfaction  Improved ability to attract and retain talent  Greater innovation © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates 46
Lean Benefits – Risk Mitigation Improved compliance (regulatory / accreditation) Reduced litigation Reduced risk of unionization or strikes Improved safety – customers, employees, and community © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates 47
