Management Standard Work

Description

  • Are you one of many managers pursuing a Lean transformation who find themselves implementing tools and changing processes, but at a loss as to how to modify management systems to keep pace?
  • Do you find the level of engagement at the working level of your organization is still low or are you sensing resistance?
  • Do you frequently observe confusion among those carrying out the work because problems that were believed to be solved keep recurring?
  • Do you wonder why your improvement efforts don’t always deliver the expected business results?

If so, you are not alone. There is lots of information out there on how to change value-adding processes in industrial, office, and healthcare settings, but very little practical information on how to manage new processes as they are put into place. The fact is that for every technical change in business processes there must be a commensurate change in management systems and behaviors to unlock their true potential and maintain the gains as they are achieved.


This workshop with layout the elements of the lean management system and focus deeply on the processes that support management standard work at every level of the organization. This is a crucial tool for sustainable continuous improvement.

Participants will explore the repetitive and variable aspects of their jobs, specifically, the traditional management tools used in traditional organizations and contrast them with lean managements systems. We will help you review how you carry out your responsibilities today, explore a variety of Lean management tools at your disposal, and learn how to assemble a management system that focuses on building the problem solving capabilities of your organization.

The workshop will be a combination of lecture on basic principles, class discussion, role play, hands on exercises, and examples of management standard work from various organizations.

2. Examination of management standard work

What is management standard work? How much of what I do today can I implement as lean management standard work? How are Lean organizations different and what do they need from management in order to thrive? What are the specific thinking patterns and behaviors that we seek in Lean organizations and what does management do to meet these needs?

3. Components of management standard work.

How do I design standard work for my own organization- integrating Gemba walks, visual management, mentoring sessions, and more traditional methods such as regularly scheduled meetings and e-mails?
