Industry Definitions
Value Added : Any process that changes thenature, shape or characteristics of the product, in line with customer requirementse.g. pressing, welding,assembly. (Maximise) Waste :
All other meaningless, non essential activities.i.e. 7W Categories(Eliminate)
Non Value Added :Any work carried out, which is necessary under current conditions, but does not increase product value.e.g. inspection, part movementtool changing, maintenance (Minimise)
Can you define University Value Add?
Can We Define value Added for CU• Value Adding
– Imparting Knowledge (academic qualifications / CPD)– Applying Knowledge (Applied Research)– Developing new Knowledge (Pure Research)– Positive student service experience
• Essential Non Value Adding– Facilitating systems /departments
• Waste– ?
Airport Experience – check in
• What is value added• In the old style system
– How long did it take to get to the departure lounge?– How much time VA– What improvements have been done– Where is the waste still
Work Streams
• Most activities form part of a work stream
• Benefits to be gained by looking at – The activity– Interactions– Total work stream (big picture)
How much waste is in a finely tuned system?

Toyota Waste
The Toyota Motor Company is credited as being the most efficient Automotive Manufacturer in the world, yet have 85% waste in their processes.
This clearly demonstrates the opportunities for other Automotive Manufacturer’s.
Objective: To remove waste and create more time to develop ‘High Value’ Value Add activity

Value Added in your work place
• Define value added in your work place• Take this morning as an example 9:00am – 12:00pm, 3 hours• Estimate VA time, NVA time• why so much waste?
Improving the University workplace
When looking to improve the workplace and reduce waste, we need to know,
•What it is we want to improve? •Which category of waste we are removing? •How we are going to measure it? •And how are we going to improve it?•We will be using the A3 reporting methodology•Speak with data
Improving the University workplace
When looking to improve the workplace and reduce waste, we need to know cont:-
•Assess the benefits
If we save 15 minutes per day over a year (42 weeks)We release 52.5 hours per year or 1.5 weeks for one person
If we have an office with 3 people we can save over a months work
A3 problem solving sheet
Jimmerson, 2007,A3 problem Solving
A3 Sample: Recruitment Process
Background and ImportanceDepartments complaining having to wait
long to have staff employed
KPI: Lead-time
Cause AnalysisSample:
Why are people away from their desk?They have to take recruitment CVs to various departments
Why do they have to take it physically?They are required urgently
Why are they required urgently?Because all CVs are batched and taken together and therefore recipients have little time to process them
Why cant they be forwarded as they come into the system?High consumption of resources if taken one at a time or posted
Why cant they be sent electronically?CVs are not available in electronic format
Why are they not or made available in electronic format?No Scanner

Problem Solving Tools for Session 1
• 7 Waste Analysis• Gap Analysis
Coventry University Business Improvement Training (CUBIT)
Whenever the way work happens is not ideal, or when a goal or objective is not being met, you have a problem (or, if you prefer, a need). The best problems to work on are those that arise in day-to-day work and prevent you from doing your best.
Question•What it is we want to improve? •Which category of waste we are removing? •How we are going to measure it? •And how are we going to improve it?
Areas of Waste
It is important that we identify the different types of business waste that happen around use and the problems that they cause.
These wastes are not just found in manufacturing but all around in every environment were work/ tasks are being performed.

The 7 areas of waste which appear in some form or other in our daily activities and can be remembered using S.W.I.M.T.O.O
University Workplace improvement activities and the associated measures
Scrap/rework
• remarking students work (second attempt, late submission)•Re entering lost data onto the system•Imputing from paper forms onto electronic format •Chasing payments after due dates•Etc, etc

Next Session Activity: Gap Analysis
Work is carried out ‘as and when’, with no apparent sense of direction
1 2 3 4 N/A Work is always conducted following a pre thought-out ‘mini plan’, which may have been created in the morning or the previous day.
Numerous jobs are overloaded onto individuals, on top of their existing work loads
1 2 3 4 N/A Work is appropriately delegated to those who are capable and trained to do so
Work is often interrupted and may be left incomplete if other work takes precedence
1 2 3 4 N/A Work is always completed to the end before other work is carried out
Allocated work, is expected to continue and meet deadlines whilst juggling other demands/interruptions throughout the day
1 2 3 4 N/A ‘Own work time’ is allotted to each person where they are at their most ‘productive’ and can work without the fear of distractions or interruptions
Current work is often succeeded by more ‘urgent’ work
1 2 3 4 N/A Work which is the ‘most important’ is always conducted rather than being pushed aside for work labelled ‘most urgent’
Employees continue about their job without knowing of their companies goals and objectives and how what they do fits in to that
1 2 3 4 N/A All employees have established goals and objectives which relate to the Company’s goals and objectives.
Procedures for the same task can vary from employee to employee which can potentially lead to areas of waste
1 2 3 4 N/A Procedures are standardised to reduce variability, ensure that it is the least expensive, fastest and easiest way to perform the task
Work peaks and troughs are continued with as and when an employee receives them
1 2 3 4 N/A Work is levelled off to create a steady work flow which is of superior quality and produces less stress for the employee
LEANMASS WORK ORGANISATION
Gap Analysis
The work environment is disorganised and cluttered, with piles of material etc ‘littering’ the area
1 2 3 4 N/A The work environment is clean, safe and orderly.
Desks have no apparent sense of organisation, with material that is not relevant to the current work
1 2 3 4 N/A Desks are arranged with trays or other means detailing ‘work-in’/‘work-out’/’current work’ areas.
Paperwork is handled in a ‘cyclical’ motion where it can be handled multiple times
1 2 3 4 N/A All paperwork is dealt with upon initial contact
Emails and other forms of communication are checked as when they are received
1 2 3 4 N/A Emails and other means of communication are checked on a regular basis i.e. hourly, to avoid constant interruption
Phone calls are made as when needed or requested
1 2 3 4 N/A Phone calls are batched and then made when there is enough time to make all the calls in ‘one go’.
Tasks that have been allocated are remembered mentally
1 2 3 4 N/A All allocated tasks are noted on a ‘to-do list’ which will help prevent them from being forgotten
Jobs are carried out as and when they are requested
1 2 3 4 N/A All jobs are prioritised, before they are undertaken, namely jobs ‘a’ will be done followed by ‘b’ and ‘c’ and so on.
Outdated documents, emails, files and other materials are found to persist long after they have no use
1 2 3 4 N/A Employees regularly remove outdated material/unnecessary items/emails/documents within the office at regular intervals to ensure waste does not build up
LEANMASS EMPLOYEE ORGANISATION
Gap Analysis
Visual Controls are not used or are not apparent
1 2 3 4 N/A Visual Controls are used and can be easily understood
Storage facilities have no appropriate ordering system, or labels to identify the documentation/material contained within them. To retrieve documentation subsequently takes time.
1 2 3 4 N/A All storage facilities are appropriately labelled and documentation is stored either alphabetically, chronologically etc, to create ease in finding and retrieving documentation/material.
Files, stationary boxes etc can be moved, without individuals realising they are missing.
1 2 3 4 N/A All files and stationary boxes are marked with visual controls, namely diagonal lines to easily denote to an individual that certain files etc have been moved.
Visitors queries are answered as when they pose questions/queries
1 2 3 4 N/A Visitors are able to get accurate and timely information by the visual controls as and when they are used
Waste is visually evident in the office, upon desks, in cabinets and storage facilities etc
1 2 3 4 N/A The office is ‘transparent’ where waste cannot be hidden without immediately attracting attention
