Daily Management Development System
Where can we implement Lean management?
Major benefits are observed in operations with a high interaction of people/functions, technology, culture, procedures and policies.
Companies which rely in constantly delivering new and innovative product/services to their customers, require a high performance process, the lack of a common objective and a poor interaction between different functions and people (customer, sales, marketing, engineering, finance, operations, contractors and more) are the main contributors to end with a slow reaction to the customer or market, deliver with low quality and high development costs, ending with a scarce conversation rate of successful launchings or new contracts.
Aligning priorities and enhancing communication improves the information flow, developing standards of work and a pull managed work system, with a quality at the sources method (not letting pass any problem to the next step), enables an accurate and timely development cycle, improving at the end the rate of success.
In project based environments, the alignment of priorities and communication is critical to deliver projects on time, with the desired functionality (quality), and under budget.
This can be done implementing Lean management systems where we organize our team to perform the work according standard priorities and improving communication (daily management system) across the entire process, this management structures helps to react to daily arriving issues and changes. Developing a robust and simple process management ensures stability and reliability, that means we can offer to our customers a consistent delivery time, within cost and in quality.
Companies from IT, Construction, and any other service delivery company can benefit from this approach.
Lean can be implemented not only in operative processes but in the functional processes that support the delivery of the value, regardless if it’s a product or service, the operations of valued added required processes that enable them.
From the communication with the customers, the sourcing of the raw material, the internal planning and scheduling, the manufacturing itself, the delivery of the product, the invoicing and the accounts payables until the payment is received, all this process can be improving with the Lean point of view.
Saving important days in cash flow for the company and increasing the flexibility to be able to respond faster to the customers.
The main objective of a customer service office like a call center or help desk, is to provide a fast and accurate response to its customers, the random arrival of different types of customers and the wide range of inquires/topics to resolve, tend to create unstable processes and inconsistent quality and delivery time, ending with upset customers and a lack of credibility in the service center.
Lean management systems provide consistency on the performance, giving stability to the processes, through developing people and establishing management practices, we will bring the problems to the surface in order to improve them.
Visual management, pull systems, standard work, quality at the sources, cross training, among other Lean concepts are implemented.
