Measuring success in a business is crucial for identifying areas of improvement and making informed decisions. Lean metrics are particularly useful in this regard because they focus on efficiency, waste reduction, and continuous improvement. Lean metrics enable you to measure, evaluate, and respond to your organization’s current performance in a balanced approach – without sacrificing the quality of your products or services to meet quantity objectives. Properly designed lean metrics also enable you to consider the important “respect for people” factors necessary for your organization’s success.
The choice of Lean metrics should align with your business goals and accurately portray your organization’s performance and processes. You should also consider the total number of metrics to use. Using too many metrics can confuse your employees and slow your performance/process improvement initiative. On the other hand, using too few might not provide you with enough detail to properly focus your process improvement efforts. Once you decide on which metrics to use, regularly tracking and analyzing these metrics will help you identify areas for improvement and make data-driven decisions to optimize your business operations.

FCB Partners Webinar: Measure What Matters FCBPartners
Join Steve Stanton, Managing Director of FCB Partners, as he leads a roundtable discussion on the challenge of managing metrics. This 30-minute webinar is an introduction to our new Master Class on Measurement (premiering November 18 in Boston).
Without question, measurement is the most difficult aspect of process management. With so many choices it’s tough to select the right measures and create an actionable scorecard. Too often, organizations measure what they can, measure what they can measure easily, or measure what they can measure easily that produces a positive number.
But, without a great measurement architecture, organizations can flounder with too many measures or misleading data, or just lagging indicators.
In this practical webinar, Steve will focus on the following themes:
Why is measurement so tough?
How can we find the right few measures for a process?
How to use measures effectively
How to improve the process of measurement itself

Embracing Excellence with Emotion: The Life-Changing Power of Poka-YokeWillie Carter
Implementing Poka-Yoke, or error-proofing techniques, in an organization can bring about a profound and emotionally uplifting transformation. Let us dive into how this approach can create a positive and empowering atmosphere.
There is the incredible sense of reliability and quality assurance.

The Benefits of Applying Lean Sigma for ServiceWillie Carter
Lean Six Sigma is a methodology that combines the principles of Lean manufacturing and Six Sigma quality management to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and enhance customer satisfaction in various organizations, including service organizations. While originally developed for manufacturing industries, Lean Six Sigma has been adapted and successfully applied in service sectors such as healthcare, finance, hospitality, and logistics.
The primary goal of Lean Sigma in service organizations is to identify and eliminate non-value-added activities, streamline processes, and enhance overall service delivery. It aims to create a customer-centric approach by focusing on customer requirements and continuously improving the quality and efficiency of services.
Lean Sigma utilizes a data-driven and systematic approach, incorporating various tools and techniques for problem-solving and process improvement.
By applying Lean Sigma principles in service organizations, companies can achieve benefits such as improved customer satisfaction, reduced lead times, increased productivity, enhanced quality, and cost savings. The methodology provides a structured framework to identify and eliminate waste, optimize processes, and deliver exceptional service to customers.
Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) is necessary for manufacturing and service business alike to ferret out root causes of problems to not only fix them, but to prevent them from recurring in the future.
This presentation provides a seven-step process for conducting the CAPA analysis. If you follow these seven steps you will always meet your corrective and preventive action objectives.
The CAPA process is essential for meeting FDA and ISO 9001 regulatory requirements. The ability to correct existing problems is absolutely necessary for continued customer satisfaction. Finally, quality issues continue unabated they can have a disastrous impact on the financial health of your business.
Internal Customer Satisfaction the Key to Process ImprovementWillie Carter
Introduce a proven method for managing and improving quality among departments
Increase collaboration and communication between internal customer and suppliers
Provide some tools to help the participants improve process quality. The concept of customer and suppliers is easily grasped once you understand the idea of process: the people or department who precede the series of tasks you identify as a process are suppliers, and those who follow, users of the product or service, are customers.
To lead change in your organization you must focus on improving your critical business processes. Becoming a process-focused organization requires a sustained effort, and for most industrial and service organizations that is a difficult task. Failure to improve the performance of your processes leads to a failure to improve the organization and results in improperly managing the business. All major business initiatives, quality, lean, six sigma, innovation, etc., must be targeted at improving those processes that have the greatest impact on the critical success factors of the organization. These critical success factors are the essentials, and the key processes that impact them should be the primary focus of management.
Focused process improvement is a fundamental requirement to sustain initiatives like quality or lean and to generate positive results. Organizations succeed or fail based on what happens within specific key business processes. Many organizations don’t sustain their quality or lean efforts because they are not focused on improving critical business processes. Instead employee improvement teams are left adrift and end up working on trivial, inconsequential projects that matters least to improving the business.
This presentation provides an introduction on how to implement focused process improvement. Start managing for results today by improving your processes.

• Lean metrics are
measurements that help you
monitor your progress toward
achieving your lean
transformation goals.
• Metrics can fall into three
categories:
• Financial
• Behavioral
• Core processes
All Rights Reserved QAI 2020 2
3. Financial Metrics
• You improve your company’s
financial performance by
lowering the total cost of
operations and increasing
revenue.
• If your company can become a
lower cost producer without
sacrificing quality or service
performance, it can enhance
its market position.

costs
• Direct and indirect
material costs
• Inventory carrying costs

5. Financial Metrics
•Hard-cost Savings
• Actually produce cash savings or increases in profit
• Directly affect your P&L
•Soft-cost Savings
• Assets that are freed up so they can be used for
another purpose
• Contributes no positive change to your P&L
All Rights Reserved QAI 2020 5
6. Financial Metrics
•Cost shifting
• Moving costs from one account to another without
creating any real savings
• Often hides waste rather than eliminating it
Goal: Reduce both your hard and soft cost savings
for the benefit of your organization.
All Rights Reserved QAI 2020 6
7. Case Example
A manufacturing company decides to implement quick changeover for one of its
fabrication lines. This enables the company to reduce batch sizes by a full 65%
and its inventory investment by 35%. These are hard-cost savings.
Before the company implemented its cost reduction efforts. Employees were
responsible for all aspects of inventory and stocking. Now the company requires
its suppliers to inventory and stock all raw materials at their site. By doing this the
company frees up nearly 50% of the storage space, for which it has no plans for
other uses. This is a soft-cost saving.
By requiring one of its suppliers to stock raw materials the company has shifted
the cost of stocking raw materials to its supplier.
