Objectives To introduce a practical & systematic way to apply lean principles to sales & service To structure some of the issues into a a step-by-step method 2 Lean Enterprise Academy
Seeing the Opportunities & Grasping the Situation 3
Lean Thinking Lean starts with value from the perspective of the customer Delivers value through end to end processes (Value Streams) that no one sees The aim is to get all the actions that add value to flow at the pull of customer demand Building in quality and standardising work As no one sees these processes, no one manages them Performance delivered by a management system that at its heart is characterised by two principles Respect for people and the engagement of everyone in continuous improvement Purpose, Process, People 4 Lean Enterprise Academy
Lean Principle # One Specify value from the standpoint of the customer Who is/are the consumer(s)? Who is/are the customer(s)? What is Value? Who decides what is value? Aim to develop a commonly agreed value specification 5 Lean Enterprise Academy
Exercise #1 As a customer how would you express value for the following: What do you want when you buy a car? (5 minutes) What do you want when you take it to be serviced? (5 minutes) 6 Lean Enterprise Academy
Value in the Eyes of the Consumer: Acquisition The right car in the right place at the right time At the right price Maintenance Fixed right first time on time At the right price Quality & Not Measured! Delivery Customer Fulfilment 7 Lean Enterprise Academy
Value: Extending the Concept Right First Time Ease of the Event On Time Quality & Delivery Acceptable Price Service Convenience Distance, Time, Remembering, etc. How customers are treated Information, Care, Consideration 8 Lean Enterprise Academy
The Kano Model Human, personal, value-adding Different aspects each time Not a replicable formula-solution The basis of real relationships! Delight But today s delighter s become tomorrow s basics!! Degrees of Customer Satisfaction Neutral performance delighter basic Dissatisfaction Absent Attribute Present 9 Lean Enterprise Academy
Customer Fulfilment Right First Time On Time Right First Time On Time New Car Sales Car provided to the exact specification ordered, without defects Correctly prepared including accessory fitment Cleaned to the satisfaction of the salesperson & the customer Customer has not been persuaded to take a different specification No unavailability or delay after ordering Car needs no rework prior to or after the handover Handover at the time originally promised at the time of the order After Sales All service & repairs completed, with all the necessary parts available Car cleaned to the satisfaction of the customer Car does not need to return for rectification or rework Handback at the time originally promised 10 Lean Enterprise Academy
What About Cost? From Selling Price = Cost + Profit To Selling Price (fixed) Cost = Profit Establish a Target Cost Selling Price Selling Price Selling Price Profit + Cost = Profit - Cost Profit Cost Time 11 Lean Enterprise Academy
Principles of Lean Consumption Solve the consumers problem completely Don t waste the consumer s (or the provider s) time Provide exactly what the customer wants Deliver it where it is wanted Supply it when it is wanted Continually aggregate solutions to reduce the consumers time and hassle 12 Lean Enterprise Academy
Introduction to Seeing Consumption as a Process Problems are hard to see & solutions are hard to imagine without a way for consumers & providers to see the current situation When doing lean transformations the first thing we do is...take a walk 13 Lean Enterprise Academy

Creating a Future State
Future State Questions Understand the performance of your value streams in terms of Right First Time, On Time What are the causes of failure to fulfil? What is the demand? Where can we flow the work? Where can you pull? What point can we gather information on what to do? Where do we schedule the workshop? What timeframe do we use to plan? How do we make sure work loads are levelled? What are the supporting improvements we need to ensure we reach a Future State? 21 Lean Enterprise Academy

Sales Funnel (New & Used) 36 Lean Enterprise Academy
Summary What are the main processes in your organisation? How well does each process perform, in delivering value for your customers and profitability for your organisation? What is the demand for each process? What are the vital few types of work that account for most of the throughput? How can you create stability by turning unpredictable work into predictable work? How can you flow this predictable work through your organisation, without delays, errors, rework and firefighting? What does management have to do to create this flow and then sustain it over time? 37 Lean Enterprise Academy
