Apply this method as an analog to the methods that the authors of The Lean Turnaround present to transform an organization from batch-and-queue material and information processing (conventional management) to flow (TPS/Lean management) "Your assignment is to simplify this task by translating the 500,000 or so words in John Stewart's (and Art Byrne's book) into a visual action plan."
Process-at-a-Glance Charts - 11x17 inch A3 Paper Format
Process-at-a-Glance (PaaG) Charts were developed as part of 3P (Production Preparation Process, created by Chihiro Nakao at Toyota Motor Corporation) to visually describe manufacturing processes and to evaluate multiple alternative combinations of process, methods, tools, etc., prior to production. The objective is to design quality into the process by reversing how one creates a production process:
From: 1. Machines / Equipment, 2. Tooling, 3. Layout / Flow Expensive, Poor Quality, Long Lead-Time
To: 1. Process / Flow, 2. Tooling, 3. Machines Low Cost, High Quality, Short-Lead-Time
I want you to apply this method as an analog to the methods that the authors of The Lean Turnaround and The Toyota Kaizen Continuum present to transform an organization from batch-and-queue material and information processing (conventional management) to flow (TPS/Lean management).
THINK: In the context of leadership, management, and transforming a business from batch-and-queue material and information processing to flow ("Lean transformation"), what does each of the following mean? It will help if you write down examples of each.
Material - What is material? What material is needed?
Work Method - What is a work method? What work method(s) should leadership use?
Time - What time is associated with each work method?
Gauge or Poka-Yoke - How do you quickly measure progress and in what simple ways can you mistake-proof a process?
Tools - What are tools? What tools are needed.
Jig / Fixture - What are jigs and fixtures? What jigs and fixtures are needed?
Machine - What is a machine? What machines are needed?
PaaG Charts are 90 percent images and 10 percent words. You can start with words, but convert most of the words to images. Look for examples from nature. This is your first choice. Second choice is to look for examples from the emoticons on your cellphone. Think of other sources of images that you can draw upon to clearly describe things. Sketching is preferable to graphic images. Use black of blue ink when sketching. Do not use pencil in your submission.
Use resources on the Internet or elsewhere to learn more about 3P and PaaG charts.
