You	should	operate	your	production	to	plan	for	approximately	
15%	less	than	your	Customer	Takt	Time.
This	will:
1. Allow	for	any	unplanned	minor	or	major	stops	of	the	line.
2. Start-up	yield	loss	or	finishing	loss.
3. Unplanned	downtime	(if	this	is	unknown	or	not	tracked).

The Three Main Tasks in This Step
1) Get to know the process by sketching a block diagram of it.
- Define the start & end points of the process.
- What are batch sizes at the processing steps?
- Where does WIP accumulate?
2) How much does the process fluctuate?
- Time & graph 20-30 exit cycles for each operator.
- Are each operators' work steps the same from cycle to cycle?
3) Note other details about the current operating pattern.
- Not issues good or bad.
- Simply describe aspects of the current work pattern.
You may ask others about process details,
but do not interview or ask about process
problems or improvement ideas.

WHY LOWEST REPEATABLETIMES
AND SHOULDN’TWE USEAVERAGES?
Many	people	have	difficulty	understanding	why	we	want	to	use	lowest	repeatable	times.		
The	concept	they	fail	to	understand	is	twofold:
1. Lowest	repeatable	is	just	a	starting	point	for	grasping	the	current	condition.		We	can	get	
more	detailed	workstation	times	later	if	necessary.
2. Lowest	repeatable	gives	you	an	indication	that	if	the	process	cycles	as	expected	(without	
major	cycle	stoppages),	then	that	time	is	a	time	the	operator	or	machine+operator	can
achieve,	although	PDCAs	and	experiments	will	be	needed	going	forward	to	sustain
3. As	we	continue	with	the	improvement	kata	process,	we	will	learn	more	about	the	
individual	workstations	and	times,	so	main	purpose	of	grasping	the	current	condition	is	
so	we	can	complete	the	3rd step	of	the	Improvement	Kata	which	is	Establishing	the	
Target	Condition.
4. Averages	are	good	for	long	data	sets	as	indicators	of	past	performance.		However,	it	is	
the	“spikes”	and	“troughs”	indicating	variability	that	get	hidden	with	averages.		One	
could	say	if	I	have	one	foot	in	a	bucket	of	ice	and	salt	water,	and	the	other	foot	in	a	
campfire,	then	on	average	I’m	feeling	ok.		However,	I	have	frostbite	and	3rd degree	
burns….not	ok!!!
We	want	to	
know	what	
happened	at	
these	points	on	
these	days?

Process Metrics vs Outcome Metrics
Many	people	have	difficulty	understanding	the	relationship	and	differences	between	a	
Process	Metric	and	an	Outcome	Metrics.		The	concept	they	fail	to	understand	is	twofold:
1. Process	Metrics	are	measurements	in	real	time.		It	is	however	possible	to	consider	a	
measurement	either	at	a	certain	point	in	time	past	the	beginning	of	the	process	or	maybe	
at	the	end	of	the	day.		Process	Metrics	are	metrics	that	you	can	gather	“in	the	moment”	
• Example	are	such	a	construction	of	a	run	chart	in	the	previous	slides	on	lowest	
repeatable	process	cycle	time	or	the	variation	from	cycle	to	cycle.
• Another	example	is	rework.	We	can	measure	the	first	pass	yield	(FPY	for	the	day	at	
any	point	in	the	shift	and	know	at	what	rate	we	are	having	to	rework
2. Process	Metrics	affect	or	many	times	determine	the	values	we	get	as	Outcome	Metrics.		
Many	times	we	refer	to	the	Process	Metric	as	the	“lever”	that	controls	the	Outcome	Metric.
• Example:		An	Outcome	Metric	for	a	pot	of	boiling	water	is	determined	by	the	Process	
Metric	of	the	stove	burner	element.
Process	Metric	=	
Knob	Set	at	7
Outcome	Metric	=	Temperature

• Process	Metrics	- Standards	of

plan,	process,	or	product	can	be	
assessed
Process	Metrics	are	key	indicators	from

    KATA © 2016 TheLeadership Network® © 2016 Jidoka® 19 WHY LOWEST REPEATABLETIMES AND SHOULDN’TWE USEAVERAGES? Many people have difficulty understanding why we want to use lowest repeatable times. The concept they fail to understand is twofold: 1. Lowest repeatable is just a starting point for grasping the current condition. We can get more detailed workstation times later if necessary. 2. Lowest repeatable gives you an indication that if the process cycles as expected (without major cycle stoppages), then that time is a time the operator or machine+operator can achieve, although PDCAs and experiments will be needed going forward to sustain 3. As we continue with the improvement kata process, we will learn more about the individual workstations and times, so main purpose of grasping the current condition is so we can complete the 3rd step of the Improvement Kata which is Establishing the Target Condition. 4. Averages are good for long data sets as indicators of past performance. However, it is the “spikes” and “troughs” indicating variability that get hidden with averages. One could say if I have one foot in a bucket of ice and salt water, and the other foot in a campfire, then on average I’m feeling ok. However, I have frostbite and 3rd degree burns….not ok!!! We want to know what happened at these points on these days?

    KATA © 2016 TheLeadership Network® © 2016 Jidoka® 31 Process Metrics vs Outcome Metrics Many people have difficulty understanding the relationship and differences between a Process Metric and an Outcome Metrics. The concept they fail to understand is twofold: 1. Process Metrics are measurements in real time. It is however possible to consider a measurement either at a certain point in time past the beginning of the process or maybe at the end of the day. Process Metrics are metrics that you can gather “in the moment” • Example are such a construction of a run chart in the previous slides on lowest repeatable process cycle time or the variation from cycle to cycle. • Another example is rework. We can measure the first pass yield (FPY for the day at any point in the shift and know at what rate we are having to rework 2. Process Metrics affect or many times determine the values we get as Outcome Metrics. Many times we refer to the Process Metric as the “lever” that controls the Outcome Metric. • Example: An Outcome Metric for a pot of boiling water is determined by the Process Metric of the stove burner element. Process Metric = Knob Set at 7 Outcome Metric = Temperature of Water is 100oC
