Implementing Hoshin Kanri How to Manage Strategy Through Policy Deployment and Continuous Improvement

Implementing Hoshin Kanri How to Manage Strategy Through Policy Deployment and Continuous Improvement

This book focuses on the implementation of Hoshin Kanri. It is a response to most books on strategic planning that tend to downplay the implementation and only describe the fully implemented planning process. The power of this book originates from a project in which a team of five professionals over a period of three years implemented Hoshin Kanri in 14 companies; results were drawn from 130 workshops with leadership teams. The project team subsequently ran several accelerators inside large and small companies as well as public institutions. All these experiences together form the implementation focus of the book. Moreover the organization of the book mirrors the message of its scientific thinking which is also the basic principle of Hoshin Kanri: Chapter 1 focuses on the basic analysis—Is Hoshin Kanri something for your organization? Chapter 2 addresses the ambition—What is the vision for strategy work in your organization? Chapter 3 presents the conditions needed for effective strategic work. Chapter 4 discusses the choice of implementation strategy and your role as the change agent. Chapter 5 describes how Hoshin Kanri works when implemented. Chapter 6 addresses coaching/mentoring and the Kata philosophy. Chapter 7 presents important analytical tools. Appendix 1 describes the journey made by a medium-sized construction company. Essentially this book describes in a concrete and structured way how you—the change agent—can use Hoshin Kanri in your organization to tackle large and complex challenges. | Implementing Hoshin Kanri How to Manage Strategy Through Policy Deployment and Continuous Improvement

Job Shop Lean An Industrial Engineering Approach to Implementing Lean in High-Mix Low-Volume Production Systems

Job Shop Lean An Industrial Engineering Approach to Implementing Lean in High-Mix Low-Volume Production Systems

In the 1950’s the design and implementation of the Toyota Production System (TPS) within Toyota had begun. In the 1960’s Group Technology (GT) and Cellular Manufacturing (CM) were used by Serck Audco Valves a high-mix low-volume (HMLV) manufacturer in the United Kingdom to guide enterprise-wide transformation. In 1996 the publication of the book Lean Thinking introduced the entire world to Lean. Job Shop Lean integrates Lean with GT and CM by using the five Principles of Lean to guide its implementation: (1) identify value (2) map the value stream (3) create flow (4) establish pull and (5) seek perfection. Unfortunately the tools typically used to implement the Principles of Lean are incapable of solving the three Industrial Engineering problems that HMLV manufacturers face when implementing Lean: (1) finding the product families in a product mix with hundreds of different products (2) designing a flexible factory layout that fits hundreds of different product routings and (3) scheduling a multi-product multi-machine production system subject to finite capacity constraints. Based on the Author’s 20+ years of learning teaching researching and implementing Job Shop Lean since 1999 this book Describes the concepts tools software implementation methodology and barriers to successful implementation of Lean in HMLV production systems Utilizes Production Flow Analysis instead of Value Stream Mapping to eliminate waste in different levels of any HMLV manufacturing enterprise Solves the three Industrial Engineering problems that were mentioned earlier using software like PFAST (Production Flow Analysis and Simplification Toolkit) Sgetti and Schedlyzer Explains how the one-at-a-time implementation of manufacturing cells constitutes a long-term strategy for Continuous Improvement Explains how product families and manufacturing cells are the basis for implementing flexible automation machine monitoring virtual cells Manufacturing Execution Systems and other elements of Industry 4. 0 Teaches a new method Value Network Mapping to visualize large multi-product multi-machine production systems whose Value Streams share many processes Includes real success stories of Job Shop Lean implementation in a variety of production systems such as a forge shop a machine shop a fabrication facility and a shipping department Encourages any HMLV manufacturer planning to implement Job Shop Lean to leverage the co-curricular and extracurricular programs of an Industrial Engineering department | Job Shop Lean An Industrial Engineering Approach to Implementing Lean in High-Mix Low-Volume Production Systems

True Kaizen Management's Role in Improving Work Climate and Culture

True Kaizen Management's Role in Improving Work Climate and Culture

What does it take to manage an organization to success? No matter what industry you are in an organization is primarily a group of people. This book focuses on that ever-important human element. In the rush to get 'lean' many organizations focus solely on tools for increasing productivity but where do these tools come from? In this book Collin McLoughlin and Toshihiko Miura look back on their decades of international consulting experience to examine how organizations around the world have transformed on a cultural level by respecting the people who work within them and leveraging their creativity to solve problems. As our workforce becomes more knowledgeable skillful and more perceptive of their needs and wants as employees the ability to reach the true potential of an organization becomes more and more difficult. Managers must look at each individual element of an equation like this in order to fully understand how to achieve an answer. They must begin to answer more focused questions such as: 1. How productive is the existing work climate and culture? 2. How do employees as individuals navigate the existing work climate? (How do they deal with day-today issues with each other?) 3. Where and how are individuals and their work processes assessed? 4. What obstacles do employees face every day and are they empowered to fix these obstacles? 5. What role does leadership play at each level of the organization? (Looking at the organization in layers of management. ) To address these challenges this book focuses on three main aspects of leadership and management: 1. Addressing and Improving the Perspective of Management - The ideas presented in this book are not limited to a certain industry or field of work but can be applied in any setting because they speak to a universal human element. 2. Exploring and Improving Work Climate - Organizations are social entities operating within their own controlled environment. This book will explore the factors that contribute to and encourage a positive work climate. 3. Observing and Eliminating Wasteful Work Processes - Observing wasteful activities and work processes requires a refined perspective. The case studies presented illustrate the How and Why to help refine expertise. This will also lead to the joy and benefits | True Kaizen Management's Role in Improving Work Climate and Culture

Lean – Let’s Get It Right How to Build a Culture of Continuous Improvement

Lean – Let’s Get It Right How to Build a Culture of Continuous Improvement

Lean – Let’s Get It Right!: How to Build a Culture of Continuous Improvement (978-0-367-42991-1 340939) Shelving Guide: Business & Management / Lean Management This book addresses the root causes of why a majority of Lean transformations have not met expectations. More importantly it provides the information needed to turn around the failure mechanisms and transform them into critical success factors. Lean – Let’s Get It Right! delves into the psychology of change and motivation and clarifies the roles and responsibility changes which are required for alignment with Lean principles. While the author includes a review of Lean principles the majority of the book either provides more depth of understanding of the principles or highlights how misalignment can thwart Lean transformation efforts. What this provides is not only clarity but it establishes a solid reference point or framework to guide the Lean strategy. The reader will begin to see how the principles are not simply a random set of characteristics or features of Lean but are actually a set of fundamental beliefs on which all else is based. Though repeated throughout the book that an organization must develop the specifics of their own Lean roadmap this book concludes with guidance on making it happen. This book with its primary focus on people leadership and principles and less so on the details of tools and techniques can be thought of as providing the few critical missing puzzle pieces to enable an effective Lean transformation. | Lean – Let’s Get It Right How to Build a Culture of Continuous Improvement

Quality Function Deployment and Systems Supportability Achieving Key Performance Parameters and Ensuring Functional Alignment

Quality Function Deployment and Systems Supportability Achieving Key Performance Parameters and Ensuring Functional Alignment

This book not only presents the overall development of quality function deployment (QFD) and what it has been used for to date but a new product support orientation by which it can be employed. It is product and service “system” focused and presents how blending the processes and elements of supportability and analysis into a QFD-modeled methodology can achieve optimal cost savings and performance efficiency and effectiveness. In addition a working model is provided that will assist those that elect to use such an approach to current/new product and/or service development. QFD is widely spreading throughout the world because of its outstanding usefulness. It is aimed to fulfill the customer’s expectation of a product or service design. Organizations of all sizes are using it to (1) save product and service design and development time (2) focus on how the product or service might satisfy the customer and (3) improve communication at all levels of an organization during the development process. Based on these three reasons today's traditional QFD can be divided into three branches and analyzed. First QFD can be implemented effectively for developing new products and designs by establishing the linkage between design stages through the manufacturing environment. However research has found that traditional QFD is quite weak in implementing modifications to existing product and service design during its predicted lifecycle. Second most research to this point has been squarely focused on the “voice of the customer” for prioritizing customer needs. While certainly needed the “voice of the system” that is being used to produce the product/service and how they operate during its intended life cycle has been given less attention. Third QFD is often viewed as overly labor-intensive and thus costly and because of its team-based development logic manual in nature by those involved during its development and implementation. Research has shown that life cycle sustainment planning and support for current or proposed products and/or services requires a seamless and balanced life cycle support methodology. To achieve this type of support twelve functional elements have been identified that form the product support infrastructure. A new approach one that views product support as an integrative activity where all twelve product support elements are assessed over the entire product and/or service life cycle is being deployed. With this deployment comes a need to ensure Key Performance Parameters (KPPs) are achieved and functional alignment obtained by balancing supportability element cost and provisioning throughout the entire product and/or service lifecycle not just during the development stage and to view the system as the “customer” and thus listen to the “Voice of the System” when assessing supportability requirements. Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is such a tool. This book contains four sections. Section 1 provides an initial overview of QFD origins and history and highlights some of its use today. It addresses how QFD fits within the organization increasing revenue and reducing cost. It outlines a step-by-step strategy for successfully deploying QFD within the organization. Section 2 examines the evolving product and/or service requirement creating the design solution using QFD assessing supportability characteristics using QFD and performing functional supportability analysis using QFD. Section 3 provides a guide for developing the life cycle supportability solution using QFD methodology on an ongoing basis and managing processes throughout the systems lifecycle. Section 4 addresses using QFD in an imperfect world and will provide insight into how to use QFD beyond the standard “house of quality” concept. | Quality Function Deployment and Systems Supportability Achieving Key Performance Parameters and Ensuring Functional Alignment

The Toyota Way of Dantotsu Radical Quality Improvement

The Toyota Way of Dantotsu Radical Quality Improvement

In this book author Sadao Nomura taps into his decades of experience leading and advising Toyota operations in a wide variety of operations to tell the story of radical improvement at Toyota Logistics & Forklift (TL&F). This book tells in great detail what the author did with TL&F how they did it and the dramatic results that ensued. TL&F has long been a global leader in its industry. TL&F is part of Toyota Industries Corporation which was founded by Toyota Group founder Sakichi Toyoda almost 100 years ago. Sakichi Toyoda is legendary in the Lean community as the originator of the all-important JIDOKA pillar of TPS which ensures 1) built-in quality and 2) respect for people through ensuring that technology works for people rather than the other way around. Although TL&F seemed to be performing well insiders knew that as the founding company of the Toyota group it needed to do better especially in the quality performance of its global subsidiary operations. But improvement would not be easy in a company that already prided itself in its history as an exemplar in providing highest quality products and services. In 2006 TL&F requested assistance from Sadao Nomura. The initial request was for Mr. Nomura to support quality improvement in three global operations that had become part of TL&F through acquisition: US Sweden and France. Improvement was expected at these affiliates but the dramatic nature of the improvement was not. Further the improvement activities were so powerful that they were also instituted at the parent operations in Japan. Over a period of almost ten years the company with the name most associated with product quality experienced quality improvement unparalleled in its history. Dantotsu means extreme radical or unparalleled. | The Toyota Way of Dantotsu Radical Quality Improvement

The Power of Humility in Leadership Influencing as a Role Model

The Power of Humility in Leadership Influencing as a Role Model

To many people the words ‘leader’ and ‘humble’ are not natural bedfellows. Yet once they have grasped the definition most employees desire a humble leader while a majority of managers believe they already are one. What appears deceptively simple is trickier than expected. Narcissism lack of perception fixed mindsets and neuronal default settings are only a few of the stumbling blocks on the path to humility. What exactly is this sought-after humility? Humility consists of four key elements: 1) Seeing one’s own strength and weaknesses and revealing them where needed for the bigger picture; 2) Appreciating others for what they are do now and can do; 3) Being open and willing to learn; 4) Understanding that we are all only a small part of a larger picture easily replaceable and favored by luck and circumstance. Therefore humility has nothing to do with being weak or hiding the light under the bushel. Instead it is about clarity taking a step back from one’s ego and thus being able to serve the greater picture. The author’s own research with more than 3 500 managers contributes to the canon of positive effects of humility that have been measured by dozens of researchers during the last decade. Humility benefits employees (ranging from better performance more innovation stronger resilience to better client relations and stronger morals) the organization (ranging from better ambidextrous strategies a better culture to fewer sunk costs) and the managers themselves (ranging from more seen leadership potential to less stress and better relationships with employees). Dozens of case studies quotes from more than 170 interviews with top managers lively storytelling of real-life examples and solid research with actionable take-aways plus personal assessments make this an eminently readable and practical book for managers worldwide. | The Power of Humility in Leadership Influencing as a Role Model
