4. Business Levers…
Value Driven Development - Establish common understanding about the
value we create for customer across the performing team
Continuous Stakeholder involvement - Enable Early Feedback through
continuous integration and short cycle iterations
Rolling Waving Planning – A Framework that helps us address requirement
ambiguities
“Right Person for the Right Task” – Establish an efficient work allocation
process.
5. Business Levers…
“No Compromise on Quality” through set of handy standards and guidelines
Empowering individuals at the front-line, thereby motivating them
Incorporating continuous improvement mindset. Looking at the ways to
decrease the possible Waste in this process.
Visual Controls – Establish framework to help detect early warnings
6. Practical Insights….
Goal – “Sustainable shortest lead time, best quality and value (to people and
society), most customer delight, lowest cost, high morale, safety”.
Respect For
the People
Create process flow to surface problems
Use pull systems to avoid overproduction
Level out the workload
Stop when there is a quality problem
Standardize tasks for continuous
improvement
Use visual control so no problems are hidden
Use only reliable, thoroughly tested
technology
Continuous
Improvement
Go-See
Kaizen
5 Whys
Learn to see the “whole” – Adapt “Kaizen” mindset
(each individual employee is given the opportunity to find problems in his own way
of working, to solve them and to make improvements.)

8. 1. Value Stream Mapping
Flow – Value Stream Mapping methods
helps us optimize as a whole
Everybody understands what customer
expects and corresponding acceptance
criteria
Expose hidden Bottlenecks in the flow Brings good information as to what is
really going on in the field
Team will arrive at common point of
thinking
Team Bonding because of transparent
communication and collocation
Productivity Improvement and cycle Time
Reduction
Team is now open for new ideas.

10. 3. Level the workload
Establish efficient Work Allocation process through
application of lean tenants
“Takt Time” [ No. of Features/ Unit Time]
“Design Structure Matrix”,
“Work load levelling”.

11. 4. Concurrent Engineering
5 Core Principles of Concurrent Engineering
High value features first
Multiple phases with smaller release cycles
Detailed planning (DSM)
Early Feedback through continuous
integration and short cycle iterations
Elaborative approach – set based thinking
Design alternatives
Rapid Prototyping
Implement quickly
Reuse of prototypes
Early completion with additional headcount
Integrated Review with Coding – pair
programming
Delay decisions as late as possible
Phase concurrency between development &
Push features requiring clarity to later
test
releases
When Requirements keep changing, Concurrent Engineering
helps planning iterative releases taking Customer, Team into
confidence.

13. 6. Improve Quality Through
“Go and See Yourself”,
“5 whys”
“Standardize the procedures”
15. Lean – Accelerator our business:
It helped us focus on creating value to
customers – Thus, we achieved high
customer satisfaction
It helped us establish Handy and Flexible
practices
It empowered individuals at front line and
thus achieved high motivation levels
Team inculcated “Continuous mind-set”
Financial benefits we are able to power up
Hinweis der Redaktion
Value and WasteValue— The moments of action or thought creating the product that the customer is willing to pay for. In other words, value is defined in the eyes of the external customer. Imagine a customer was observing the work in your office. At what moments would they be willing to reach into their pocket, pull out money, and give it to you?…Waste— All other moments or actions that do not add value but consume resources. Wastes come from overburdened workers, bottlenecks, waiting, handoff, wishful thinking, and information scatter, among many others
