Lean & Time Studies: Leverage for Engaged Team Performance, with Dodd Starbird

Writer's picture: JIT CafeJIT Cafe

Do you struggle with creating accurate staffing models—determining realistic performance targets—identifying which processes to prioritize for improvement efforts? There’s a comprehensive data-driven answer to all those challenges.


If you’ve been doing Lean for a while, you’ve likely heard about “Standard Work” but have you measured “Standard Time”? In addition to knowing the right way to do a process or activity, it’s also really important to know how long that task should take. You can use that data for staffing models, performance accountability, and targeting processes to invest in improvement.


Enter… the time study! Check out this video where Dodd Starbird, Author of “The Joy of Lean”, demonstrates a system and approach that can help your team collect time study data, analyze it, and put it to work for your organization.


Agenda:

  • Lean, Engaged Team Performance, and time studies

  • Time study approach
