30 1 DEFINING GOALS How do we accomplish this? CUSTOMER FIRST THINKING WE MUST UNDERSTAND: Who is the customer? What is my customer s demand? How will I meet this demand? All rights reserved 30

31 WHO IS THE CUSTOMER? Any person, group, process, or system that requires information or material from you should be considered the customer DEFINING GOALS All rights reserved 31

32 WHAT IS MY CUSTOMER S DEMAND? Demand is: What the customer wants When they want it In the quantity they want it At the price they want to pay for it Qualify Demand: Customer Demand GOALS DEFINING GOALS All rights reserved 32

33 TRANSLATE DEMAND TO GOALS The PERFORMANCE MATRIX aligns goals with demand Goals meet demand of higher process KEY POINT: Goals drive targets of lower process DEFINING GOALS Goal alignment moves an organization forward together! All rights reserved 33

34 HOW WILL I MEET THIS DEMAND? Goals TARGETS Targets MUST be quantifiable Targets MUST have a completion timeline Vague or behavioral targets cannot be achieved DEFINING GOALS All rights reserved 34

35 CONDITION HOW TO SET A TARGET Gap between target and ideal closed with future activity CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT Ideal Condition Target Condition Target Gap Total Problem Gap Current Condition TIME DEFINING GOALS All rights reserved 35

36 WHAT MAKES A GOOD TARGET? Use the ACORN TEST to ensure achievable targets A. Is the target an Accomplishment or a behavior? Create 10 more reports per hour VS. Work longer hours C. Do those working on the target have Control over it? Can a machine operator improve sales directly? O. Does the target contribute to the overall Objective(s)? Does it align with higher goals or is it stand alone? R. Can the target be Reconciled with outside goals? Does meeting this target negatively impact something else? N. Can the target be measured with a Number? Improve number of reports hourvs. Improve throughput DEFINING GOALS All rights reserved 36

Gives insight to stability Shows long term trends A NIMBLE ORGANIZATION Improving Yesterday May not improve today HOW CURRENT IS CURRENT? The goal is to check performance as frequently as possible GRASPING CURRENT CONDITION All rights reserved 39

40 MEASURE OUR STABILITY HOW STABLE IS OUR CURRENT PROCESS? A STABLE process must be leveled up to improve performance An UNSTABLE process can be improved by controlling variation First Shift PIP STABILITY 20 Second Shift HOW DO WE MEASURE OUR STABILITY? We use Potential to Improve Performance (PIP) Compares the average to the best performance PIP = Best Performance Average Performance PIP = = 1.6 STABILITY PIP PIP = = 1.01 A PIP of 1 = Perfectly Stable Process GRASPING CURRENT CONDITION All rights reserved 40

41 Production Lead Time in Days ANALYZE THE GAP Weekly BT Chamber Production Lead Time By Month Quantify the gap between current condition and our target How far do we have to go to reach our target?
