Two options for pacing a lean improvement project
Many organizations adopt one of two options for running improvement projects – namely instigating a full blown project which may have a duration of a few months or running a rapid and intense project (typically termed a Kaizen method) over a much shorter period (weeks rather than months.)
The two approaches are typically quite different – a full project team approach will typically involve team members who are not full time on the project (but will carry on with their usual day-job in tandem). These projects are typically headed by an improvement expert (sixsigma black belt for example) and follow the DMAIC method. Such improvement projects may take the route of a formal project methodology.
The shorter approach provides a much more intense methodology and aims to deliver results more quickly. Typically this short burst approach will utilize DMAIC methods but will not carry out the implementation stage. The main difference between a project approach is that team members are dedicated. This shorter approach is also typically headed by an improvement expert and it’s common that preliminary work may have been carried out.
