This Case Study will review how the Orlans PC Law firm applied Lean principles to improve the delivery of Legal Services. The presenter will walk through the phases of their continuous improvement journey and provide the participants with some best practices and lessons learned. The specific example that will be reviewed in the Case study is the reduction of re-work rates in the preparation of critical Legal documents. The Orlans PC Law firm prepares and files ~200 Legal documents/day and completes over 425,000 daily process transactions. We will review how legal document re-work rate reduction was identified as a critical business priority, and how the organization aligned to support this important improvement challenge. The reduction in legal document re-work rates of as much as 75% was achieved.

This workshop will prepare you to lead effective and actionable focus groups. This approach is particularly used for process improvements, to understand the needs of the customer, benchmark how well those needs are being met, and obtain qualitative feedback on experience within a process – which will be used for analysis and consider by a problem-solving team.

This session will provide you with various tools and techniques to facilitate activities such as “Customer Value Structure (CVS)”, “Start, Stop, Keep Doing” and “Issues/Ideas” while engaging all customers and diminishing the effect of “the loudest voice is the only voice.”

This workshop will provide an overview of HarborView's 5S for Data methodology which transforms siloed data into actionable information. Just as a shadow board organizes tools, supplies, and equipment to provide tangible efficiencies and cost savings, a data board organizes information to minimize wasted time and effort preparing and locating data.

Attendees will participate in a hands-on value stream mapping exercise for one of three processes: product disposition, emergency room discharge, and supplier risk management. Using readily available and inexpensive modeling tools, participants will learn how to use 5S for Data to dramatically improve information flow which historically has been difficult to improve due to the need for IT involvement and the time constraints of a Kaizen Blitz.

t's been a belief in most of our industries that fun and productivity don't mix. I'm happy to say that not only can you work in a fun environment, but you can also yield greater results because of it. I will share some ways Micron has leveraged fun to generate a pull for employee engagement and we will all work on an example of using fun with the outcome and lead metrics.

This workshop will provide a brief overview of the Henry Ford Health System model for building a High Reliable Organization, based on research, science, and best practices. The focus of the workshop will be practicing key leader behaviors, systems, and tools that are foundational for creating a culture of safety and reliability.

Learn practical methods of leading people through daily continuous improvement.
