Managing Performance
It includes three areas of focus:
-
Managing Performance
-
Continuous Improvement
-
Empowered Teams
Managing Performance – Involves comparing the goals and targets identified in the strategic plan (Voice of the Customer) to the actual performance (Voice of the Process) and addressing the variations.
Continuous Improvement – This step focuses on identifying improvement opportunities and managing improvement projects.
Empowered Teams – This area involves establishing team norms and developing and coaching people so that empowered teams of problem solvers are established and maintained.
The final phase of the High Performance Model includes working with management to create a plan for sustaining the lean practices including follow up visits for observations and feedback. Potential areas for further application of lean methodologies are also identified in this phase.
