Have you ever… attended a lean manufacturing seminar or webinar with GREAT presentations? You leave motivated and inspired and ready to apply everything that you learned to help your company's lean initiative succeed. But because of a lack of professional coaching, implementation of what you learned becomes impossible because of constraints and roadblocks placed in the way.
Why Most Lean Initiatives Fail to Meet Expectations
The first reason for a lean initiative failure 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 you need to develop a plan for identifying and eliminating their root causes.
The second reason is lack of understanding and support for the company's lean initiative.
The third reason is poor preparation. Even with the best plan, successful implementation will be evasive if there is not a genuine leadership commitment and appropriate lean manufacturing training, coaching and empowerment.
And fourth 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 initiative results.
And last but not least, successful implementation of a lean manufacturing initiatives require lean champions.
To be successful, lean manufacturing champions must have
the lean knowledge, implementation skills, and professional coaching to solve all of these problems?
* Too many challenges on his/her plate

Problematic computer system integrity

Deliverables:
"The 8-Basics of Kaizen Based Lean Manufacturing™"
(via PC, iPhone, iPad module downloads)
BASIC No. 1: Information Integrity: MRPII/ERP and lean manufacturing expectations will be never be achieved when day-to-day operations are driven by inaccurate, untimely and uncontrolled data and/or documentation.
BASIC No. 2: Motivational Measurement: While financial numbers may tell us we’re winning the war, it takes a motivational measurement to focus our energy and efforts to win each of the battles along the way. Balanced scorecards is the choice of winners.
BASIC No. 3: Sequential Production: Effective shop floor control has proven elusive as we have upgraded our manufacturing control system from MRP to MRPII and then to ERP. To capture control of shop floor activities, we need to stop beating a “dead horse” and implement flow technology or as I call it Sequential Production. All the winners are.
BASIC No. 4: Point-of-use-Logistics: Companies will never achieve their MRPII/ERP lean manufacturing expectations as long as business leaders continue to talk about value-added supplier partnerships, while continuing to deal with their suppliers as adversaries. And its time for operations leadership to realize the stockrooms are a non-value added expense and it’s time to move most inventory to point of use.
BASIC No. 5: Cycle Time Management: If your manufacturing team can handle only one kaizen project at a time, then let it be the reduction of total cycle time. There just isn’t any other more important control factor in our pursuit of lean manufacturing success .
BASIC No. 6: Production Linearity: Companies will never achieve their full growth and profit potential if they produce more than 25% of their monthly shipment plan in the last week of the month or more than 33% of their quarterly shipment plan in the last month of the quarter. As companies struggle to remain competitive, one of the strategies by which gains in speed, quality and costs can be achieved is to pursue and achieve linear production.
BASIC No. 7: Resource Planning: The inadequate and untimely availability of resources is a major cause of manufacturers’ failure to meet their delivery schedules and profit margin forecasts – material shortages, low productivity and poor planning are not always the only causes.
BASIC No. 8: Customer Connectivity: The reality of Customer responsiveness is in the eyes of the beholder – the Customer. The sooner we realize and accept our customers’ perceptions of our products quality and services as reality, and accept it as our challenge, the sooner we will earn their confidence and become their permanent supplier of choice. And isn’t that what business is all about?

Lean Management 'Knowledge' and 'know how'
During one of Bill's Coaching programs, Larry Franciscus wrote a very good "white paper" about Value Stream Mapping. We published it in one of our
MBBP Bulletins and below is an email Larry received from one of our MBBP Subscribers:
To: Larry Franciscus
Subject: VSM White Paper
It takes a real knack, Larry, to communicate with crisp and concise ideas. I believe it was Mark Twain who said, "I didn’t have time to write a short story so I wrote a long one instead."
You have done a great job conveying the essence of Value Stream Mapping in a short but thorough method. You have eliminated the waste found in several of the books I have read.
Would you be willing to share each of your white papers? I understand if you would rather not. You have something of real value and could charge for what you have created. I would love to see and learn from your other white papers.
Sincerely,
John R. Miller
Senior Business Analyst
South Burlington, VA
Don't you wish you could write a similar paper on all of the Lean Management train-ing modules in the Coaching program. As your coach and mentor, it's Bill Gaw's job to make sure you can.
