You have 15 minutes to teach someone about Continuous Improvement, how would you use it? I asked myself that question. Something I hadn’t given thought to, until now. Here’s how I would use those 15 minutes: 1. First 8 minutes: Teach them to recognize Waste with TIMWOODS Transportation: Moving products, information, or parts. (Sending emails with information that should be centralized, having parts at hand when you need them...) Inventory: Excess buildup of products or materials, or unnecessary information (like those saved emails you save 'just in case'). Motion: Inefficient people movements within processes. (Reaching, searching, twisting, walking...) Waiting: Delays that halt progress. (Waiting for parts, approvals etc...) Overprocessing: Doing more than necessary. (Too many reviewers, some quality checks, touching something more than once...) Overproduction: Creating more than needed. (Building inventory anywhere in the process.) Defects: Errors that require correction. (Rework of any kind, or unacceptable product or services.) Skills: Underutilized skills or lack of proper training. (Not leveraging people's talents, lack of formal documented on-boarding...) 2. Next 5 minutes: Practical Application I’d challenge them to identify one type of waste they currently experience and think of one actionable improvement they and their team can make. 3. Last 2-minutes: I'd highlight the power of incremental improvements I’d explain how small improvements, like compound interest in saving money, can have a significant impact adding up over time. I'd urge them not to wait—implement what they’ve identified immediately. Continuous Improvement is a journey, not a destination. Reflect on this: What is one area in your work that could benefit from this approach? What would you teach about CI if you only had 15 minutes?

One cannot aim for #efficiency enhancement 🚀🚀, setting and achieving bigger #goals 🎯 without correcting the loop holes at the basic level. If someone claims that, it has to be strictly reassessed. Following and refining the #process periodically is pivotal and cascading the #purpose of that process leverages and complements #implementation with #integrity. #Organisations matters. #processefficiency #processrefinement #reviewbasics #leadersresponsibility #leadersimpact #oganisationsmatters

If the problem is not well defined, we risk: 1. Solving the wrong problem. 2. Creating a new problem. 3. Wasting valuable resources. #problemsolving #leansixsigma #problemdefinition A problem definition should include: 1. What is occurring? 2. Where is the occurrence? 3. When did the problem start? 4. What is the extent of the problem? Need help solving a problem?
