Lean Service Operations Delivery Methodologies
A typical lean assignment would include the following steps:
- Define: At a high level, we listen to your requirements and assist you in creating a Lean plan aligned with your business needs. At an assignment level, we define the problem and objectives and map the current process.
- Measure: We work with you to capture and measure the current state of the processes you need improving. We provide training in Lean fundamentals so you can work with us.
- Analysis: We review and recommend potential improvements and assist with pilot trials and assessments. We aim to build internal capability in both Lean technical and change tools through workshops and online learning.
- Improve: We help you track projects through implementation to completion and update the Lean metrics.
- Control: We sustain the assignment gains, and the client is encouraged to appoint a Lean coordinator and become more self-sufficient.
- Lean culture: The engagement behaviours needed to support a Lean culture are identified and reinforced, including self-managing process improvement.
