Our Specialists use a Rapid Plant Assessment (RPA)to effectively breakdown key areas of an organization and highlight areas of improvement. The RPA is a tool perfected by R. Eugene Goodson aimed at breaking down the strengths and weakness of an organization. The tool is comprised of two assessment and looks at 11 categories for how Lean an organization is. Our Specialists provide a 1-2 day walk through of the RPA which will include training, the filling out of the RPA questionnaire with your team, and the building of a personalized implementation plan based on your results.
Sometimes an organization knows exactly what they need to do, but simply don’t know how to get started. Lean Sigma Strategy offers 3 to 4 day Continuous Improvement Workshops where our Specialists will help facilitate your team through problem solving and developing sustainable solutions. Your organization can expect to receive training on the fundamentals of Lean, specialized training for your specific needs, facilitation through problem solving, and a personalized implementation plan based your team’s findings.
Strategy Deployment, or Policy Deployment, can be one of the most valuable yearly exercises for an organization to go through. LSS Specialists know the value in being using tools like Hoshin Kanri (HK) and Value Stream Mapping (VSM) to layout organizational goals and road maps. Each Specialist will coach your team through a process in which a 3 to 5 year vision for your organization is mapped out. From there they will aid in creating a yearly road map with supporting sustainment tools to help your organization succeed. Depending on the size of your organization you can expect our specialists to spend one more 3-4 day sessions with your organization's Senior Leadership all the way down your managers training on how to use the tools, develop goals aligned from to the top down, and create achievable road maps.
