Project Summary
|
Lean Enterprise Process Improvement (LEPI) is a multiple workshop, 40 to 60 hour series, used to reengineer multiple, linked, value stream/flow processes, and support organizations for lean enterprise operations. LEPI has proven to substantially improve product development time and cost.
A cross-functional LEPI team(s) defines the major value stream flow processes from customer, through design, tool build, pre-production, production, and final product delivery. LEPI can get you organized to meet APQP requirements.
LEPI teams collaborate in 10 to 12 one-half day workshops to:
- Define Steps in Enterprise Process Flow
- Define what needs to happen at each step, inputs, resources, outputs,
- Next, the team develops needed training materials, new job descriptions, and start-up testing protocols.
- Test a design or production job, make needed improvements, and prepare to start the new process(es).
- Update ISO procedures and job descriptions. Start up and improve the new system.

Deliverables
|
Workshop deliverables include a new value stream process definition that will reduce cost/waste, improve quality, and/or reduce time-to-market.
Training includes:
- Business process, input-output-resource-constraint analysis
- New business process implementation methods and Tooling
- Work instructions/check lists,
- Cost/benefit analysis, and
- Defining new or modified job responsibilities and positions.
In addition to helping define jobs and organizational changes, the value stream definitions provide a roadmap to guide the implementation of technology to support the product development, and ongoing support processes, e.g., intranet solutions or commercial packages such as the Powerway solutions.
