Office Space (1999) The TPS Reports Bill Lumbergh: Hello, Peter. What's happening? Uh we have sort of a problem here. Yeah. You apparently didn't put one of the new coversheets on your TPS reports. Peter Gibbons: Oh, yeah. I'm sorry about that. I, I forgot. Bill Lumbergh: Mmmm...yeah. You see, we're putting the coversheets on all TPS reports now before they go out. Did you see the memo about this? Peter Gibbons: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I have the memo right here. I just uh...forgot. But, uh, it's not shipping out till tomorrow, so there's no problem. Bill Lumbergh: Yeah. If you could just go ahead and make sure you do that from now on, that will be great. And uh, I'll go ahead and make sure you get another copy of that memo. Mmmkay? Bye bye, Peter. Peter Gibbons: No, I...I have the memo. I've got it. It's right... [Lumbergh isn't listening and walks away from Peter's cubicle] 8

Management Support Busy cannot be a crutch Commit resources What would happen if you stopped maintaining your home? What happens if you never assign an improvement task? There is always too much work or a crisis to consume your time Given time, the right people on the right problems will fix them 13
Form the Right Team Involve the key people Macro manage What if someone cleaned your desk drawers without asking? Do you like it when your boss tells you how to do a task? If you don t get buy-in the improvement won t sustain Tell the team what needs to get done and let them figure out how 14

Identify the Target Identify value to the customer Target waste What do customers want when they buy your product? Where does your company waste resources? Identify what your customers are willing to pay for Identify what your customers are NOT willing to pay you for 20
Use the Tools VSM, 5S, and Problem Solving Faster, better, cheaper do all three Which tool is the right one and how do I know when to use it? How can I get all three without needing a trade-off? 5S for clutter, VSM to identify value and waste, then problem solving Game-changers establish a whole new level of performance 21
