Implementing Lean Visual ManagementImplementing Lean Visual ManagementThe first step in implementing Lean Visual Managementis the determination and measurement of appropriateteam-specific performance measures so that the teamcan determine their baseline for improvement.Determine thebaseline forimprovementOnce suitable performance measures have beendetermined, teams can begin to develop their individualVisual Displays. This development will focus on theagreement of the information that best informs the teamand which will enable performance improvement activity.Developthe VisualDisplayWhen teams have their Visual Displays in place, theycan begin to hold regular Stand-up Meetings. Teams willsoon become familiar with Stand-up Meetings and theiruse will start to become second nature.HoldStand-upMeetingsAs the use of Stand-up Meetings matures, teams willfind that they are spending less and less time reportingindividual progress updates and more time focusing onperformance measures and improvement activity - due tothe increased efficiency of meetings over time.Focus onperformanceimprovementWhen teams reach a position where performancemeasures and improvement activity are a part of theirdaily routine they need to ensure Stand-Meetings andVisual Displays are maintained and that performanceimprovement continues - teams should periodically reviewteam performance against the original baseline forimprovement to see what has been achieved to date.MaintainPage 23Any printed copy of this document is considered uncontrolled.
