3. What is Lean Daily Management?
• A system (including the structure) to
manage daily work, including
• Customer demand
• Best Practices and Standards
• Equipment & the workplace
• Improvement
• People
4. Who Does It?
• Work Teams
• Supported by supervisors and managers
• Supported by specialists
• These are not temporary project teams
• Note: Technicians and specialists may be on the
team as full or extended members
• Also Note: The team concept extends beyond front
line teams – it includes management teams
5. Time Frame
• At the speed of “now”
• Actions, information flow, measurement,
and improvement occur in the moment
(no waiting)
7. Why Lean Daily Management?
• Know the real facts
• Team members are closest to the work and
ongoing events
• Quick Response
• Team members can be fastest to respond
• Have a complete view
• Team thinking is more complete
• Create a Learning Organization
• Provides a platform for personal and
professional growth and improvement

15. Work Teams: A Shift In Thinking
• The team manages daily work
• The team facilitator may be the supervisor or can be
chosen by the team
• The facilitator is an operator and also a coordinator
(spokesperson/link)
• The team receives business objectives from
management
18. What is Standardized Work?
• The most effective way for a worker to
complete their work (doing the right
work right)
• Standardized Work considers the
relationship of the worker with:
• Work flow (sequence of work)
• Time (demand and efficiency)
• Materials (parts and supplies)
• Information
• Equipment and tools
• Work space and environment
19. Purpose of Best Practices
• Perform work in the best way possible
• Define the “job” of a worker
• Create a training platform
• Determine normal from abnormal
• Establish a platform for improvement
Without standards there can be no improvement

When in doubt,
you must move it out
Make it clean &

A place for everything,

Get control through a

Maintain the gain,
forget the blame
30. Daily Problem Solving
• Small tests of change
• Every day
• By everyone
• Using a systematic method
• Standards are your platform for improvement
• KPIs provide the context
• Teams do the work
Problem Solving is a later step in building a lean daily
management system. Putting it first is like putting lipstick on a pig.
31. DO IT Every Day
•Define problem
•Open yourself to
solutions
•Identify the best
solution
•Take Action
(use PDSA)

Coach
Uses coaching methods to
teach Kaizen. Usually one
level up from Learner
Learner
Person leading or
responsible for a group,
team, or process
36. Coaching Cycles
• Used to guide the learner through the steps of the
Improvement Kata for a real issue
• They are a way to guide and give feedback
• They are short, to the point, with follow-up
• Assess the current status of readiness & the focus process
• Find out how much the learner knows about the current condition
• Give procedural guidance
• In addition, you are also learning and growing as a coach
Each cycle should lead to a small test of change, a
next step
38. Go to the Gemba
• Gemba means “the real place”
• Go to gemba means “go to the source”
• Go to the scene
• Report from the scene
• Talk to real witnesses

• Lip service but no belief
• Managers don’t really understand it
• No clear boundaries for empowerment
• Micromanagement of the work
• Second guessing
• No strategic framework (no compass)
• Lack of information & training
• Allowing barriers to exist
• Blame environment
• Overburden & underpaid
