5-Problems Why 80% of Lean Initiatives
Fail to Meet Expectations

Problem No. 1 is not enough planning. It's not an "add water and stir" initiative. You can't just decide one day to become lean and think it will happen overnight. You need to determine what constraints are impeding your ability to increase speed, improve quality, and eliminate non-value-added activities. And, finally your tactical plans needs to be developed based on value stream mapping and gap analysis.

Problem No. 2 is lack of understanding and support for the company's lean initiative. Unless all employees participating in the lean transformation are convinced that their commitment and efforts are important to its success, improvements will not meet expectations.

Problem No. 3 is poor preparation. Even with the best plan, successful implementation will be evasive if there is not a genuine commitment to
employee training and multi-functional, self-directed, work team develop-ment and empowerment.

Problem No. 4 would be failure to establish goals and expectations, track daily/weekly progress and carry out corrective actions if and when required. Determining motivational performance metrics and establishing Key Performance Indicators (KPI) to track performance is paramount to achieving positive, sustainable Lean Manufacturing results.

Problem No. 5 is a lack of leadership. Successful, Lean Manufacturing training, planning, and implementation requires Lean Manufacturing Champions.

Lean Manufacturing PowerPoint-Plus Training

Do you want to gain control of your day-to-day activities?
Do you want to create a fun work environment?
Do you want to exceed your goals and expectations?
Do you want to earn recognition and rewards?
Do you want to achieve your full growth and earning potentials?

Does your company need to increase speed and improve quality?
Does your company need to reduce non-value-added activities/costs?
Does your company need to reduce inventory and improve profits?
Does your company need to improve customer satisfaction?
Does your company want to achieve its full growth and earning potentials?

If you answered YES to any of the above questions, stay connected and you'll discover how a focus on Bill's  unique problem and solutions library can change your professional life for the better. Believe this... for you and your company to reach your full growth and earning potentials you need to accomplish two things:

1. You and your company need to identify, implement and master the principles, knowledge and best practices of Lean Manufacturing.

2. You and your company need to commit to the tenacious implement-ation of Lean Manufacturing best practices. This commitment becomes a launching pad for achievements beyond all expectations.

You need specialized knowledge. You also need to know how your field or profession is changing. Delve deeper. Keep learning."
                                             
                            Price Pritchett

If your company is pursuing a computer hardware and/or software solution to their problems; it may have the “cart before the horse!”  If they’re not focused on identifying and mastering Lean Manufacturing best practices, no level of system sophistication will get them to where they want to go.

If you've ever said, there must be a better way... there is!

Do you want to optimize personal and company success? If so... you need to study and master Lean Manufacturing best practices. "Many historic, recurring day-to-day problems (perhaps the same problems that plague your operation) can be permanently eliminated by a tenacious execution of the best practices found in Bill Gaw's, Lean Manufacturing, PowerPoint-Plus, CD-Training Library." 

Bill Gaw's Lean Manufacturing Problem and
Solutions, PowerPoint-Plus, CD-Library. 

9-Lean Manufacturing, PowerPoint-Plus, Training Modules.

For more than 14 years, Our Customers have looked to Bill Gaw  as a trusted developer of LEAN training materials, seminars, and workshops. Training options that help individuals and companies reach their full growth and earning potentials.

Most training materials today are either Adobe .pdf e-books with little or
no effective graphics. PowerPoint presentations with no commentary to explain the content of the slides. Videos that tell you what to do but with very little implementation and/or optimization “know how.” Seminars and webinars that present a lot of material but most attendee’s retention rate
is less than 25% and most, if not all, is forgotten after two weeks back in the trenches.

Bill Gaw's "PowerPoint-Plus" training on the other hand include powerful,  PowerPoint charts and graphics, plus annotated note pages with "slide commentary" and "lessons learned" by a "been there, done that" LEAN Champion. A value added, learning experience on "how to" design, implement and optimize a Lean Manufacturing Transformation for individual
and company success.

Customers study the content, print sections and highlight passages that are important to understanding and executing their change initiatives. The resultant guidelines are used for team direction, motivation and successful implementation of the best practices of Lean Manufacturing... e-books, basic Power-Point presentations, videos, and seminars/webinars just don’t provide the same results.

One of the most commonly cited keys to success is having a great coach. Whether you're a factory worker or you're working your way up the corporate ladder. the experience of someone who's "been there, done that" can be invaluable. Throughout this training materials  Bill Gaw provides expert knowledge, support, empathy, respect and, most important, the wisdom of experience.
 


Below is an example of one the problem and solutions library's PowerPoint-Plus slides with
its relevant note page:


Note Page

Without data, you’re just another opinion. That says it all. To continuously improve our processes, we need to first learn how to capture and then apply statistical data to our situation analysis. This action is a primary requisite to effective problem solving. Slide 3-3 presents an overview of a management by facts system.

Lesson Learned: The more that people use real time data to perform situation analysis and to establish and track corrective actions, the more comfortable and effective they become at interpreting and applying data-on-the-run. It is my contention that exceptional leaders make quick and quality decisions because they have mastered the skill of interpreting data-on-the-run. When a leader says, “That doesn’t sound right to me. What about .. . . .?” He has put to use, what I call, the test of reasonableness and this ability separates the exceptional leaders from the pack. To develop the ability to apply the “test of reasonableness,” a leader must first become an expert at interpreting data-on-the-run.
 

A Huge Learning Difference

If you were watching a video, attending a seminar, or a webinar would you be able to take down the above in your notes for later reference... I don't think so. With Bill Gaw's approach, there is no need to take notes because you have the training slides, slide commentary, and "lessons learned" for future reference and organizational training.
 

 


Manufacturing Training
It's the "how to" that really counts!

"Bill Gaw's training is focused on the "how to." Unlike other training materials that tell you only what you need to do... Bill's training presents what you need to do and then he shows you how to do it.                                      
                                    T.J. Imholte, VP Integrated Systems
                                                  Advance Storage Products

"Identifying the essentials of Lean Manufacturing as targets of kaizen is definitely a powerful and winning strategy. Bill's focus on the essentials propelled ESI's Component Equipment Division growth from $18 to $240 million while increasing our gross profit margin from 32% to 56%. And. it all happened in five years and without adding any space."                                              
                                      Mark Klug, Group President, ESI

"Your manufacturing training materials are the easiest and fastest way to understand the practicalities of manufacturing success that I have seen in many years of management consulting activity. I intend to use them in my practice, if you
are agreeable, since I am now extending into new consulting areas."

            Luis Nascimento, DMA Consultores, Porto, Portugal

“Bill's experience and the resources he provides are first rate and of great practical value for both the experienced manager wishing to push improvement in their business as well as people at the beginning of their careers who need to under-stand the basics of making a business lean and effective”
