KEYS TO SUSTAINING: GOING TO SEE & LEADER STANDARD WORKMarch 13 | Elmira, NY
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
UPCOMING EVENTS
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONThe facility tour in the morning will give participants a first hand look at how Kennedy Valve has implemented various Enterprise Excellence concepts in this foundry and finishing business. Tour highlights will be visual pull systems, flow PFEP replenishment, one-piece-flow assembly and an employee suggestion program.
The afternoon workshop will cover the subject of Leader Standard Work (LSW) – a key to lean sustainment. The elements of LSW include gemba walks and visual management. Leaders need to go see, show respect and ask questions as they help themselves and others gather facts and practice continuous improvement. As i l thi i ht d it d t k d lib t ti Th t b t b lk d itsimple as this might sound, it does take deliberate practice. There must be a purpose to a gemba walk, and it
is an activity that is best practiced as a small team sport. Attendees will perform actual gemba walks at the host company, and share what they learn from the experience.
HOST COMPANYLocated in Elmira, N.Y., Kennedy Valve is a family of 270 people working together to manufacture and sell a wide range of products to support water and wastewater infrastructure. We operate a ductile and grey iron foundry, as well as a machining, coating and assembly operation. Our Lean journey started in 2008 driven by ou d y, as e as a ac g, coa g a d asse b y ope a o Ou ea jou ey s a ed 008 d e bya strong desire to improve the sustainability and market position of our company. The transformation began by re-organizing the business into value streams and making significant changes to our shop floor layout to support flow. Pull systems are sized and implemented based upon a leveled demand. Takt dictates the selection and organization of dedicated resources for all processes. Simple equipment is chosen to allow nimble processes that support flexibility and responsiveness to our customer. Visually managed inventories minimize our reliance on WIP tracking and process scheduling. Engaged employees utilize a Continuous Improvement suggestion program to share opportunities and solutions for improvements to safety, quality and

GOT A TASTE FOR “GREEN EGGS AND LEAN?”
Ready to trade ideas with fellow innovators and passionate leaders on creating a more innovation-capable process in your organization? Join us for the AME Innovation Summit March 13-14 in Irvine, CA for discovery, shared learning and dialog. From Summit speaker Patrick Elwer, one of Intel’s principal engineers, will be his insights about learnings and challenges of implementing lean process and product development and leveraging those at significant scale – a dive into how to learn fast and deliver faster.
Elwer states that to gain a competitive edge through lean innovation, teams and leadership should use a principle-based approach to lean product development, as described in the book, Implementing Lean Software Development (Mary and Tom Poppendieck). It is key to apply standards such as: eliminate waste, build quality in, create knowledge, defer commitment, deliver fast, engage everyone and optimize the whole.
Leadership needs to make the business case for change encouraging change agents and middleLeadership needs to make the business case for change, encouraging change agents and middle managers to take a leap of faith away from current state practices and toward an anticipatory (rather than reactionary) process of exploring the best way to figure out how to do something new, according to Elwer. He likened this cultural change to the Green Eggs and Ham (Theodor Geisel) appeal. “Once you get used to doing a new thing, angst or fear can disappear,” he said. “You may do poorly at first, and then as the change cycle happens over and over, things get better and people say, ‘We want to do more of that.’”
Nothing beats an agile team for creating competitive advantage through more effective learning cycles, noted Elwer. “They work on a short cadence, consistently deliver high-quality work and never miss schedule,” he said. “Agile is an empirical process where the real capacity of the team is measured, encouraging the team into a self-organizing state.” He also cited the value of problem solving in owner/mentor pairs (inspired in John Shook’s Managing to Learn) and set-based design decision marking. “Leadership has a huge role to play, as good mentors,” Elwer continued “One of the key things we have to do is to ask the questions about a proposedcontinued. One of the key things we have to do is to ask the questions about a proposed solution, ‘What options did you consider?’ and, ‘How did you choose among them?’
“There are business reasons for adopting lean, such as speed to market. But the real power of lean is that it creates a community of scientists that can deal with any challenge,” said Elwer. “More than anything, lean is about people.”

HELP WANTED! USING VISUAL MANAGEMENT TO DRIVE US G SU G OCONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENTApril 11 | Webinar
WEBINAR DESCRIPTIONThe use of visual techniques is a common theme in all Lean concepts. Yet most organizations are just scratching the surface of the possibilities in this important subject. To many organizations the subject of 'visual management' means posting several performance measures for everyone to see. However, a comprehensive g p g p y , pvisual management system (VMS) consists of so much more.
An important element of any VMS is the review, response and escalation process. The information provided by the VMS should be viewed as a 'help wanted' call. That information should trigger a response of supportive or facilitative leadership. Together leaders and team members can learn about problems and their causes, and determine countermeasures to them. In other words to practice continuous improvement (CI) - the real goal of a Lean Enterprise.
PRESENTERDrew Locher has been applying visual management concepts in production, non-production and project environments for over 25 years. He is the author of four books and a two-time Shingo Prize recipient. Drew has been a faculty member of the Lean Enterprise Institute (LEI) since 2001, and is a highly rated speaker at the annual AME conference. His Visual Management workshop has sold out the past two conferences. If you missed him at the conference, here is your chance to hear and interact with him first hand on a subject of great importance to organizations in all industries.
