Observe How your Process Works
Focus on Effectiveness
Efficiency doesn’t matter
Fix Leaks

13. This loom was special:
It automatically stops when a thread is broken.
It only produces good product.
STOP if you find any quality problems.

14. Make It Flow
Your Stream is Now Creating Values Constantly
Make It Flow:
Remove impediments
Reduce necessary inputs (Resource / Actions / Time)
Now Efficiency Matters
Value Adding Time / Incidental Time / Waste Time
Value Adding Processes
Eliminate Wastes
Keep Quality and Output Amount Same
Never try to improve Quality. Never try to increase Output.
Make it Flow

20. Create a New Stream
Create
a New Stream
Your Value Stream Smoothly Flows
You Feel Safe and Easy to Work
You have spare Time, Resource and Energy.
Time to Consider if you can make a new stream:
Uncontinuous Process Change
Change of Product Definition

21. It’s time for Fun.
You can try whatever you like.
Current stream flows safely and easily.:
You already have spare time, resource and energy.
Try Something Crazy.

22. But never try to Accelerate
Design a new stream to deliver better quality and value
But still makes a lot of wastes.
Observe carefully.
Effectiveness and Quality matter.
If you are confident your new stream outperforms your
existing stream, face ‘Fix Leaks’ again.

23. If something went wrong…
Always get back to the previous phase.
Never try to do the multiple phases at the same time.
Dangerous for your product, your process and you.

24. Thank you.
Never never try to Accelerate.
Be Safe to continuously Kaizen.
