2. Conduct workshop:
◆ Monday: Give an overview of lean and teach any special tools needed for
that week. Begin to collect data on the current process in the afternoon.
◆ Tuesday: Complete the current state analysis, collect data, draw a process
flow map, draw walk pattern on layout, develop Standardized Work
Combination Tables, etc., and develop ideas for the improved state.
Perhaps detail the future state by the end of the day (Plan).
◆ Wednesday: First pass implementation (Do). It may be in one pilot, to
try it first, or full implementation right away. Sometimes this starts by
