applied to Government Workplaces
…making a Better Place to Work!
Helping Missouri Businesses Succeed!
“A job without frustration is not a job.”
• Inadequate resources
• Conflicting demands
• Unnecessary activities
• No clear definition of value
• ?
• Sources of stress?
2
How are we doing?
• Satisfied constituents?
• Engaged employees?
• Balanced budget?
• Sustainable?
• ?
• Sense of accomplishment?

“We like change as long as everyone else does it
and I don’t have to get out of my comfort zone”
“Everything continually changes”
“We must make change work for us, or at least not
against us”
“Will we be proactive in dedicating resources to
embracing change?”

Lean Sigma integrates =
Lean: non-value added reduction
+
Six Sigma: root cause analysis
5
Lean Strategy is focus on identifying
and eliminating (reducing) any
consumption of time and resources
that does not create constituent value.
These non-value added activities are the things
that give us headaches and hassles.
And they are unnecessary!
6
Six Sigma is the use of root cause
analysis tools to identify and change
processes that result in less than
maximum constituent value.
These tools include the range of methods from
statistical models to group problem solving.
They reduce variation and increase predictability
of outcomes!
7
Successful Lean Sigma is a developed
problem solving culture that combines
the use of technical tools with group
collaboration.
The building of a team culture requires an effort
equal to the implementation of technical tools.
8
How do you do it?
1. Train in Lean Sigma culture and tools
2. Develop leadership steering function
3. Define meaningful measures of performance
4. Value Stream Mapping of customer service
processes
5. Pilot projects to refine methods and show
results
9
Central Goals of Lean

Flexibility to respond to constituent needs
Focus on efficiency of value creation stream
 Eliminate non-value added activities (waste)

Maximize employee responsibility
 Environment of continuous improvement

10
Lean = Elimination of Waste
Value Added
 Any activity that generates a portion or all of a desired
constituent outcome.
 Things that customer believe have value.
Non-Value Added
 Any activity that is not generating the outcome desired by
the customer.
 Should be eliminated, simplified, reduced or integrated.
11
Lean = Eliminating Waste
Time to process customer transaction
Value Added
Non-Value Added
Time from Customer presenting need until fulfilled
For manufacturing typically 95% of all lead time is
non-value added
