Introduction
Benefits of the A3
•
It is an on-going visual guide of where
you are and what happens next.
•
Think of it as both a map and a checklist.
•
This is your hands-on tool for the whole

Begin by thinking about your problem
Where do we
stand?
How can I
measure this?
2. Current Situation:
How does

Should I consider
time, cost,
survey scores or
something else?

Then by thinking about your ideal
Where do we
need to be?
How far would I

What are some
measurable
targets?
When would I
like to get there?

Project Charter
Tool: Project Charter
Purpose: Formalizes purpose, goal, and scope
of the project for tracking and accountability.
It builds on the information you brainstormed for
the A3 Problem Statement, Current Situation

• Be sure to include briefly:
• Who is being impacted? (This
is your customer.)
• What is the issue that is
impacting the customer?
• Where and when do the
customers encounter the
problem with the process?
• What is the impact to the
customer when the problem

Voice of the Customer
Tool: Voice of the Customer
• The customer is the person you are trying to serve. It
could be students, parents, the Dean, or other
departments.
• By understanding our customers, we can increase
customer-perceived quality – the leading driver of
business success.
• Without customer-perceived quality, there is no longterm future for your operations!
D
D
Voice of the Customer
Ways to determine customer
needs:
• Surveys (for student or parent
groups)
• Department meetings (for internal
groups)
• Direct interaction (other customer
groups)
Who are your customers? How
can you determine their need?
Voice of the Customer
EXAMPLE
Process: Vendor Payment Process
Customer: Clemson University
Voice of the Customer Statement:
Our customer is Clemson
University. It is the mission of this
team to reduce costs and provide
savings to the University through
leveraging payment terms with
vendors.

• In this example, then:
Business Issue /
Opportunity
Clemson University currently pays
vendors upon approval. CU does not
leverage early payment discounts.
Industry standard discounts are
generally 2% for payment in 10 days
and 1% for payment in 30 days.
• Who: Clemson University
• What: Paying vendors upon
approval
• Where/When: Delays past
discount windows
• Impact: Foregone savings

Benchmarking
Tool: Benchmarking
Purpose: provide realistic goals and direction; monitor
performance; improve processes to match the best in
Higher Education.
Benchmarking is the technique of comparing practices
and processes to the best in the industry.
Remember: Some processes should be compared to
norms outside of Higher Education!
D
D
Benchmarking
Establishing benchmarks
• Call similar departments at other
universities or businesses.
• Consult other departments within
Clemson University.
• Contact individuals who have
experience with or ties to other
organizations.

dollars
Intangible
Some benefits like new revenue,
higher profitability, or faster growth
result in tangible dollar amounts
and are easy to measure.
Others, like cost avoidance,
reduced labor, or reduced process
time are harder to measure but can
be calculated.
Customer satisfaction, employee
morale, risk avoidance and image
are hardest to quantify.

Cost
Savings
• Direct expense reduction
• Yield improved bottom line

What is a metric?
• A measured variable that can be tracked
and used to detect errors, inefficiency, or
improvement. It can be a process
metric or and organizational metric.
Process metrics apply to specific
processes or programs like time, cost, or
quality.
Organizational metrics address
organization-wide issues like employee
satisfaction and turnover.
Choose one or more to describe
accurately your process’ efficiency.
