Why do so many Lean programs and Kaizen process improvements fade away despite their obvious results? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The simple answer is that they run out of fuel. The fuel for behavior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is that fuel?  Let\u2019s find out. Most machines have operating buttons.  Metaphorically speaking, so does behavior. Why do people do what they do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 3 buttons for behavior:<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

START<\/strong><\/mark> = Anything that tells you to do something.<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You see a sign saying \u2018masks required\u2019 and put on your mask, you hear instructions from a team leader or you follow the task sequence on a standard work chart \u2013 these are examples.  <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

How long you continue<\/em> doing the behavior depends on the next button, the \u2018fuel flow\u2019 button called CONTINUE<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

CONTINUE<\/span><\/strong> =<\/strong> Something encourages you while you do the behavior (or shortly thereafter). <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Someone points at you and says \u201cMask on. Good!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team leader sees you following her instructions and says \u201cGood follow-up.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You follow the standard work chart and your work flows smoothly and meets Takt time.  You think \u201cWow! This works!\u201d  These are all things that encourage you.  As long as this psychological \u2018fuel\u2019 flows during these behaviors, odds are you will continue<\/em> these behaviors. They won’t fade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

STOP<\/span><\/strong> <\/strong><\/span>=<\/span><\/strong> Something discourages you while you do the behavior (or shortly thereafter). <\/span><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Your teammate says \u201cYou really look stupid wearing that mask.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team leader never notices or comments about how well you followed instructions.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The standard work chart adds steps that make it more difficult to get your work done. If these negative consequences persist, you will stop<\/em> doing these behaviors. They fade away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, why do Lean process improvements sputter and run out of fuel and fade away?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Two possibilities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Nobody is pushing the CONTINUE<\/span> button.<\/strong>  Nobody is noticing and making positive comments of encouragement on how well the team is doing the behaviors of the new standard work process (invented during Kaizen events<\/a>).  And, nobody has commented on how well the new standard work process is working. The team\u2019s reaction?  \u201cWe are making the extra effort to follow Lean procedure, but nobody seems to notice or care.  If nobody else cares, why should we?\u201d  Result?  The slow fade of Lean.
    <\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. People or the tasks themselves are metaphorically pushing the STOP<\/span> button. <\/strong> If you are criticized for doing new Lean behaviors, or the task becomes too difficult, odds are you will stop doing the behavior.  Result? The quick stop of Lean.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    So, how can you use the CONTINUE<\/mark><\/strong> button to SUSTAIN your team\u2019s gains – and avoid Lean fade?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Press the CONTINUE<\/span><\/strong> button daily & weekly for the new Lean process behaviors.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Walk<\/em> the Gemba and look<\/em> for people following the steps of the new process.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    When you see someone doing the new behavior, be EPT<\/em><\/strong> (opposite of inept). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    E = eye<\/strong> contact
    P = point <\/strong>to what they are doing
    T = thumbs up<\/strong> to signal approval<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Or the \u201c4 second fuel flow\u201d comment – \u201cFollowing the new process. Good.\u201d  (Time yourself. It really does take less than 4 seconds to say this!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The goal of Lean Kaizen is often stated as finding the \u201cone best way\u201d to do the work.
    The \u201cone best way\u201d to avoid Lean fade and sustain Lean is one best button: CONTINUE with positive recognition and encouragement for the new process behaviors.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    When?  Daily and weekly.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Positive recognition and encouragement are now part of your Leader Standard Work<\/a>.  Just as you periodically add fuel to your lawn mower to keep it running, add the psychological fuel of positive recognition and encouragement to your Lean team on a daily and weekly basis to avoid Lean fade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Who?  You as the team leader.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Begin to grow future team leaders by asking team members to also make comments of positive recognition and encouragement to their teammates when they follow the new Lean process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To sustain Lean, push the Green<\/em>: CONTINUE<\/mark>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
