In my recent exploratory conversation with a team made up of CEO, COO, General Manager, Operations Managers of a Manufacturing, Maintenance and Supply Chain Organization in Sydney, we all faced with a situation, where wanted to start Site lean Assessment alongside with our team at Future State Partners. The GOAL of this exercise is as to discover opportunities of improvement within the prioritised areas of this business.
Before we could begin our journey, we needed to prioritize the areas of business. This took us to a very basic question, which area of this business are value adding or non-value adding from their customer perspective
I will try my best to answer the above question, as this one question, I have been asked several times, so please sit tight.
Just to recall, the value in business is defined as “Anything which a customer is willing to pay for” As we all would appreciate that, any business is filled with both value-adding and non-value activities
This invited a quick question, Is there abetter way to handle Non-Value Adding activities? If yes, who in the business had onus to handle this properly.

How to lead the way and create a best-in-class culture by using regular Lean site assessments?
On further discovery with the CEO, Operations Managers, General Managers, it was explored that,there is huge opportunity of converting /eliminating Non-Value addition NVA) into Business Value adding (BVA) first and then into Value addition (VA).
All the activites (VA,NVA,BVA) are filled with DOWNTIME Wastes .Please check the infographic above and below this
In addition, as most of us would appreciate the fact that there is continuous live conversion of value adding activities into non-value addition activities is happening on every hour basis without even we are realising it, we find ourselves as team in a situation where we end up adding lesser value for our customers and eventually get phased out of the business canvas.
The need is to counter-balance this situation with Regular Lean Assessments (Contact us by Clicking here or call us on 0283118100 (24X7)) of your service/product/site/floor/customer/warehouse/manufacturing/business segment etc. to answer "Where to accurateley start the journey of Improvements from"
One of the biggest challenges would be to come up with a cultural shift underpinned by accurate
change that is required to sustain any solution envisaged that stays longer, just like we did for this large Australian Manufacturing, Maintenance & Supply Chain and Logistics organisations resulting in their increased ability to serve more customers with the same resources
bringing up overall happiness amongst team members
