Download Your Waste Reduction Workshop Kit and Start Making Real Improvements to Your Business' Performance Today

If you are looking for a way to get your staff more involved with the Lean manufacturing projects you have planned for your business then this waste walking reduction workshop kit is ideal. Combining a practical approach with a suite of quick to use templates, the waste reduction workshop has been created by an experienced business improvement specialist.

Are your Lean Projects Going The Way You Had Hoped?

Waste reduction and engaging your teams is at the heart of the Lean approach to business improvement. This kit is a collection of tools, a presentation, instructions and a workbook that you can download via this site immediately after payment. The kit is based on a successful workshop series delivered by Giles Johnston, the author of this product.

One of the hardest challenges with any Lean programme is to get the people who can make a real difference, the operators and staff of the business, engaged with what you are trying to achieve. Waste walking is the core element of this kit and this gentle entry into the Lean method of improving a business is a fabulous way to generate both improvement ideas and get people starting to realise the power they have in their own roles to make the business improve.

What is Waste Walking?

This kit aims to teach the ideas of Lean to your team before taking them on a waste walk, a walk around your business to identify where there are opportunities to improve. The presentation that is included in the kit will allow you to educate and discuss the ideas of waste reduction and Lean with your team in preparation for the walk around your business. You may be thinking that waste walking sounds straightforward and you'd be right. The value in this kit is the supporting materials to prepare and engage your team prior to the walk itself.

This kit includes:

  • Presentation, including notes and explanations so that you can start using the presentation slides without having to figure out what it all means.
  • Handout, for use by individual participants during the workshop.
  • Worksheets, to complement the waste walking section of the workshop.
  • Improvement Log, to help capture, prioritise and manage the improvements that are generated during the workshop.
  • Instructions, to help you plan and refine the workshop as well as how to use the various elements of the kit.
Many people are put off running their own internal workshops, the intention of this kit is to make it easy to run the workshop yourself and make waste walking part of your regular business improvement toolkit. All of the items listed above are available for immediate download.

Managing the Ideas

One of the frustrations that many people have when participating in any form of idea generation / continuous improvement activity is that their ideas disappear once the sessions has finished. Getting ideas to come forwards is hard enough at the outset, but losing momentum is disastrous.

People need to know where their ideas are, and where they fit into the overall scheme of things. Included with the kit is an 'improvement log'. This is designed to:
manage the conversation around the improvement idea,
  • provide clear prioritisation of the idea,
  • embed the PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) approach into your team,
  • If it is perceived that the ideas are not being worked on in the business then ideas tend to dry up (why bother?) and this approach can help to create a sustainable approach to waste reduction.

Continuous Improvement

Many continuous improvement approaches are not continuous in nature; they are stop / start based on when there is a problem in the business. This kit helps to bridge that gap and provide a tool for your business that can yield ongoing results going forward.

You do need to lead your team and support engagement to the process, but this becomes easy to facilitate when you have the right approach, such as the one used with this kit.

You can use the workshop format from this kit to capture other business improvement ideas too. The improvement log will help you to manage all of your improvement ideas without the improvement approach appearing to get clogged or jammed.

The more times you run this workshop inside your business, and especially take people waste walking, the more switched on people will become and help to spot improvement ideas and how they can support the testing and implementation themselves.

Whether your continuous improvement approach is established, or yet to start, this waste reduction workshop kit can help you to move your business in the right direction.

Take the pressure off! Using the Y-curve with your Kaizen improvements

Do you feel under pressure when you have to make changes happen in your business? It can be scary when we try something that we have never done before. I remember thinking to myself 'how on Earth am I going to figure this out?' on many occasions. I think the last time was a few weeks ago! Years on from becoming reasonable at the art of change I am still faced with the same dilemma. It is scary and it is clear to me why so many people shy away from making change happen. It is natural to get stuck in this oscillation. On one hand you need to make change happen; the business needs the improvement benefits. On the other hand you don't want to screw up... Last week I was talking to a young engineer that I am mentoring. He was paralysed. Changes were not happening at all. There was always some early promise with his projects and then, as completion (and judgement day) loomed, progress would evaporate. The engineer asked me for my views on this  during a recent conversati

Do you need a burst of improvement ideas for your business?

If you haven’t created your improvement action plan for 2020 yet then I have something for you. I have just completed my latest project – The CI Focus Tool . This Android App is now available on Google Play and provides a simple method for generating as many effective improvement ideas as you need. This is the same basic method that I describe in my book Effective Continuous Improvement  and is now available as a simple to use app. In essence it is a brainstorming focus tool. Press the focus button and you will be presented with a random continuous improvement focus. Brainstorm ideas around this focus with your team (whilst the timer is running) and there you go – a number of great ideas for you to prioritise and implement. The reason that this works so well is because of the focus. When your business runs out of its immediate problems to fix you need a different strategy. Very focused brainstorming helps you break past this problem and configuring the app to meet t
