Metrics are the measurement of your company’s activities, and a
numerical view of how well your company is doing. The best metrics
provide data that helps employees determine which value add
activities will help the company the most. This helps minimize wasted
time and actions.
Your Metrics
Do your metrics actually measure the important
aspects of your operations that you and others need to know in order to
make informed, high quality decisions in the lean enterprise? After
transitioning to service operations or lean manufacturing, do your metrics still measure what
you really need to know?
Metrics Conversion
The application of lean principles and methods to analytical processes will enable your firm to produce quanitative assessments and lean measurements. This transition away from traditional metrics will provide
management, operations, and other functions timely data that effectively
evaluates the lean environment. They will be delighted and more effective.
Lean measures reflect the
improvements created by the application of lean principles not only in
manufacturing and operations processes, but also the processes within purchasing, shipping, accounting, and
every other function.
JCC will work with you and your team to develop a program to institute
lean metrics throughout your organization. Together we can establish
your current state, baseline your reporting system, and brainstorm
metric gaps and opportunities. We will guide your company as they adopt
box scores for tracking your new performance measures. We utilize
presentations, workshops, training, kaizen events, and other methods
depending on your goals and current environment.
