30 min. pre-meeting-clinic this month on "The job of getting a job"; lead by Geoff Hunt

 

 

Abstract 

 

Linking the framework of Strategy Maps, Policy Deployment, Balanced Scorecards, and Actionable Dashboards with the 20 Keys to Workplace Improvement provides a systematic approach to lean manufacturing involving all employees in Improvement Team Activities (Key 3) for the continuous process of improving quality and safety as well as reducing lead times and costs led by certified Six Sigma Black Belts utilizing Project Management.  

 

Examples include: Key 4, Reducing Inventory and Lead Times, using Value Stream Maps to identify and eliminate the root causes of Overproduction (Key 13, Eliminating Wastes) which dovetails with Key 8, Coupled Manufacturing, in linking stable processes established by Key 7, Zero Monitoring, through six sigma defect reduction and Key 11, Time Commitment and Control, via standardized work.
