Limit WIP/Visualize Flow of Value
@AdamYuret [email protected]
Limit Work In Progress
Excessive Work in Progress (WIP) is the enemy of flow.

Create Slack
@AdamYuret [email protected]
Three Types of Slack

!

@AdamYuret [email protected]
Slack as Variability Buffer
@AdamYuret [email protected]
Unit Hour Utilization!
!A unit unavailable for response provides no service to the community. The unit may be out of service for a multitude of reasons including; another emergency response, training, maintenance, etc. If a unit is not available 80% of the time, it is not reasonable to expect the unit to perform at the 80th percentile.
!…. Poor availability negatively influences response times.
