THE ROAD TO
CONTINUOUS PROCESS
IMPROVEMENT (CPI)
WORKSHOP
By Robert J. Wiebel
Project Administration Specialist II
Plant Operations and Maintenance
Business Transformation
Question:
Does your plant operations and maintenance organization have the processes, discipline, and organizational mindset to provide meaningful organizational innovative services for your customers on a continuous basis?
Lean Six Sigma
Lean six Sigma in Education is a
Continuous Process Improvement
(CPI) strategic approach for developing
a school facilities culture of continuous
improvement in the areas of HVAC
systems reliability, work order process
cycle times, work order costs in terms
of less total resource consumption, and
maintenance and repair quality, and
productivity.
Lean Six Sigma
Lean Six Sigma is a business improvement methodology that maximizes value by achieving the fastest rate of improvement in customer satisfaction, cost, quality, process speed, and invested capital. The fusion of Lean and Six Sigma improvement methods is required because1:
•Lean cannot bring a process under statistical control.
•Six Sigma alone cannot dramatically improve process speed or reduce invested capital.
•Both enable the reduction of the cost of complexity.

Lean Flow
Putting Lean Flow to work1
Implementing a Lean Flow requires having the right data and knowing how to use it. There are a
number of different approaches taken by organizations, but fundamentally, Lean Flow is achieved
by:
• Analyzing the steps of a process and determining which steps add value and which do not.
• Calculating the costs associated with removing non-value-added steps and comparing those
costs versus expected benefits.
• Determining the resources required to support value-added steps while eliminating non-value-
added steps.
• Taking action.

The Deming Wheel
The Deming Wheel
When to Use Plan–Do–Check–Act
1. As a model for continuous Improvement.
2. When starting a new improvement project.
3. When developing a new or improved design of a process, product or service.
4. When defining a repetitive work process.
5. When planning data collection and analysis in order to verify and prioritize problems or root causes.
6. When implementing any change
The Deming Wheel
Plan–Do–Check–Act Procedure
1. Plan: Identifying and analyzing the problem.
2. Do: Developing and testing a potential solution.
3. Check: Measuring how effective the test solution was, and analyzing whether it could be improved in any way.
4. Act: Implementing the improved solution fully.
How to Use The Tool
The PDCA Cycle encourages you to be methodical in your approach to problem solving and implementing solutions. Follow the steps below every time to ensure you get the highest quality solution possible.
Step 1: Plan
First, identify exactly what your problem is. You may find it useful to use tools like Drill Down, Cause and Effect Diagrams, and the 5 Whys to help you really get to the root of it. Once you've done this, it may be appropriate for you to map the process that is at the root of the problem
Next, draw together any other information you need that will help you start sketching out solutions.
Step 2: Do
This phase involves several activities:
Generate possible solutions.
Select the best of these solutions, perhaps using techniques like Impact Analysis to scrutinize them.
Implement a pilot project on a small scale basis, with a small group, or in a limited geographical area, or using some other trial design appropriate to the nature of your problem, product or initiative.
Our section on Practical Creativity includes several tools that can help you generate ideas and solutions. Our section on Decision Making includes a number of tools that will help you to choose in a scientific and dispassionate way between the various potential solutions you generate.
Note:The phrase "Plan Do Check Act" or PDCA is easy to remember, but it's important you are quite clear exactly what "Do" means. ""Do" means "Try" or "Test". It does not mean "Implement fully." Full implementation happens in the "Act" phase.
How to Use The Tool
Step 3: Check
In this phase, you measure how effective the pilot solution has been, and gather together any learning from it that could make it even better.
Depending on the success of the pilot, the number of areas for improvement you have identified, and the scope of the whole initiative, you may decide to repeat the "Do" and "Check" phases, incorporating your additional improvements.
Once you are finally satisfied that the costs would outweigh the benefits of repeating the Do-Check sub-cycle any more, you can move on to the final phase.
Step 4: Act
Now you implement your solution fully. However, your use of the PDCA Cycle doesn't necessarily stop there. If you are using the PDCA or Deming Wheel as part of a continuous improvement initiative, you need to loop back to the Plan Phase (Step 1), and seek out further areas for improvement.
