They know they can do better, but don't know how. The author, an experienced facilitator in government and non-profits, speaks to the facilitator through coaching notes and actual workshop documents and techniques so the reader can fully understand how greater results are achieved. This guide takes the reader through a step-by-step path of a newly created workshop agenda. The author has parsed the workshop path into more manageable parts, easier for both the facilitator and the team. These parts split the improvement work into two sections: "removing the unnecessary" and "smoothing out the flow'." "Smoothing out the flow" is divided further into: When the work is coming in. When the product/person is going through the process How the work is performed. In addition, the author includes newly created tools and training content. For example, a data-gathering table points the facilitator to what data needs to be collected when. Training for the team includes making sure they understand the structure of a process as wells as to instruct them and define how a Lean process actually functions. This distinction is important because all improvements aren't necessarily Lean improvements. Several bodies of knowledge are incorporated into this guide -- not only Lean and Six Sigma, but internal auditing, organizational development, and statistics. Essentially, this guide includes tips, nuances, and original tools that are missing from the traditional training of facilitators of kaizen events. It provides enough information for the facilitator to think in a creative way"-- |c Provided by publisher.
