CI 101
Continuous Improvement (CI) CI is the consistent evolution of the business driven by principles embedded in the organizational culture and delivered through a framework of integrated disciplines, e.g.: Lean management Six Sigma Project management Change management
Continuous Improvement Thinking is about... Always focusing on customer needs and value Fostering continuous change and working with teams to come up with solutions Sustaining improvements - tools, rules, and principles Making process improvement a part of daily life - the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle
Continuous Improvement is about people! Engaging all minds Developing people Empowering people
Critical Concepts of Lean
What is Lean? The ability to accomplish more with less and more Lean means less of many things less waste, shorter cycle times, fewer suppliers, less bureaucracy. But Lean also means more more employee knowledge and empowerment, more organizational agility and capability, more productivity, more satisfied customers, and more longterm success. Lean has brought to everyone vastly improved products and services and it s brought them faster, cheaper, and more reliably. Lean for Dummies (Natalie Sayer, Bruce Williams, 2007)
The pursuit of the perfect process You are in business to sell products and services to customers. It is the customer, and only customer, who establishes what is of value. You design processes that create value for your customer. Waste can creep in to your process and diminish the process of value creation. A perfect process has no waste. Perfect processes maximize customer value.
Process Flow Before: Well-intentioned Chaos Can Do Capacity After: Orderly Sequenced Aligned Team Based 1 2 3
A Continuous Improvement Organization is Consistently Engaging and satisfying customer(s). Focused and aligned to realize opportunities Proactively Innovative Continuously identifying and realizing opportunities within the market place.

TIM S JOURNEY
Why CI at Tim Hortons? Lean launched in 2008 to: Improve competitive advantage through continuous improvement Recognize a Lean cultural evolution could have significant impact to the organization Strong alignment between our values and key Lean principles
Tim s Past: Where we came from Why embark on a CI Journey? Can not operate in the future as we have in the past Managing our growth and scale Utilizing resources better (time, treasury, & talent) What we set out to gain 30-50% improvement capacity (do more with the same), quality (do it better), time (do it faster) and cost (do it cheaper) Employee engagement ownership of problems and opportunities, increased job satisfaction and work-life balance

A Continuous Improvement environment Delivers products to the end customer, with: minimum waste maximum quality minimal cost Provides better customer value by responding more quickly, and predictably to customer needs Enables the organization to become more capable, efficient, and flexible Creates a process cycle that translates to superior financial performance
Flow first, the rest later! By focusing on immediate elimination of process bottlenecks and key areas of waste, improvements are realized sooner Further study, review, and enhancements can be applied after flow is implemented

A Continuous Improvement Organization Culture is Guest, Owner, and Employee Focused Solution Finding vs Problem Solving Efficient, Effective, Innovative Fast, Flexible, Agile Exciting, dynamic and invigorating Top Down Managed & Bottom-up Lead Collaborates Horizontally Strategic Alignment across the organization Disciplined Planning, Prioritization & Decision Making Always learning
Characteristics of a Lean enterprise Primary Business Organizational Structures Operational Framework Mass Production Product-focused strategy Focus on economies of scale Hierarchies with functional lines Encourages functional alignment Inhibits information flow Following direction Fear of problem identification Lean Enterprise Customer-focused strategy Focus on shifting competitive advantage Flat, flexible structures Encourages individual initiative and the flow of information Standard work Focus on problem identification and experimentation
Rethinking hierarchy
