5-Reasons Why 80% of Lean
Initiatives
Fail to Meet Expectations
The Lean Benchmark Report
A while back, the Aberdeen Group, published their “Lean Benchmark Report.” Of close to 300 manufacturers that participate in this study, 90% reported that they are committed to Lean. However, further analysis found that less than 20% of these companies can be considered best-in-class.
And, the five reasons are:
Reason 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.
Reason 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.
Reason 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.
Reason 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 Six Sigma
results.
Reason No. 5
is a lack of leadership.
Successful, Lean Six Sigma
training, planning, and
implementation requires Lean
Six Sigma Champions.
The
Lean Six Sigma Training Program
"9 Essentials Steps to Lean Six
Sigma Success"
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 training program 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 a Lean Six
Sigma Training Program
2. You and your company need to commit to
the tenacious implement-ation of Lean Six Sigma
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 Six Sigma 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 Six Sigma
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 Six Sigma Training
Program."

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
"Lean Six Sigma
Training Program"
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 Six Sigma
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
Six Sigma. 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 program
Bill Gaw provides expert
knowledge, support, empathy,
respect and, most important,
the wisdom of experience via
his e-Coaching service.
Below
is an example of one the
Lean Six Sigma
Program'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
"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”

A supporter saying it better than we
can::
"Bill has helped me a lot, either by providing clear and precise directions whenever I asked, or by sharing much of his deep knowledge in his Website, bbasicsllc.com. Managing, with excellence, the combination of sound theoretical knowledge with successful "hands-on" exper-tise, Bill is certainly one of the few persons I'd classify as "Mentor of the Coaches"!
