What is Lean? A way of thinking + habits leading to speed, flow, effectiveness and efficiency Find ways to stop doing things that are not necessary in the eyes of your Client/end user/key stakeholders. Apply this found capacity to higher value added activities, creating speed and quality without working harder or adding resources. 8
Business System People System LEAN Processes that flow; constantly makes problems visible Willing, able, and enabled people who constantly solve these problems 9 Faster, better, more capacity with inspired people
Elapsed Time: 9+ % non-value added It takes us three weeks to process a file but the time we spend actually touching it or working on it is only four hours. 1
Flow If you took a file, put an imaginary video camera on it and sent it through your process, what would it see? bottlenecks backlogs unnecessary approvals chronic errors missing info unbalanced work last-in, first-out clarifications unnecessary steps too many handoffs waiting waiting waiting 11
How backlogs often develop MURA: Unevenness MURI: Overburden MUDA: Waste creates made worse by Defects Overproduction Waiting Not using skills Transport Inventory Motion Excessive Processing 12
DOWNTIME THE CLASSIC EIGHT LEAN WASTES 13
Defects When something is missing, or must be: corrected, clarified, or adjusted/adapted in order to be used. 14
Overproduction When The work is started too early Too much work passed to next step Too much work is taken on 15
Waiting When the work flow is stopped to wait for 16
Not fully utilizing people When people are not used to their full potential 17
Transport When material and information travels further than necessary 18
Inventory When work piles up and stops flowing. 19
Motion People move more than required to do their work 2

How does Lean apply to Internal Audit work? 28
Specific Lean Issues in IA Too much work taken on lowers productivity and quality Audit plan not executed consistently inconsistent data needs rework or recollection Documents: Audit Plan and Audit Reporting Too many edits, takes too long and too much effort to get to final version 29
Specific Lean Issues in IA TOO MUCH WORK TAKEN ON 3
Too much work is taken on When we multi-task*, we get less done. 31 *actually, switch-task
Time Yourself Scenario 1 (Focus-Tasking) Write: Multitasking eats time 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 2 Note how long that took. 32
Time Yourself Scenario 2 (Context Switching) Write one letter, then one number, one letter, one number, etc: Multitasking eats time 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 2 Write down how long that took. 33
