Rapid Improvement Workshops

Rapid Improvement, it's about getting things done

A Rapid Improvement Workshop is a structured technique for quickly and effectively getting things done. You and your team are lead by an MVP Black Belt facilitator through an on-the-floor, "hands-on" workshop where you realize immediate results working directly on a planned scope project - moving quickly from the Current State to a Future State.

A key focus of the Rapid Improvement Workshop is to instruct the Leadership/Lean Champions how to use the technique enabling them to facilitate future events on their own. PPG’s MVP program offers a variety of Rapid Improvement Workshops as well as custom on-site consulting services.

Current workshops available include:

> Administrative Process Re-Engineering
> 5S Workplace Organization
> X-Ray Repair Planning^®
> Refinish Area Optimization
> Process Mapping & Problem Solving

It is common for organizations to have the best of intentions to work on projects and changes required to reach an improved future state. It is also common for organizations to get busy with everyday work and fall short on execution. This on-the-shop-floor workshop will teach you the skills necessary to break free of the common implementation problems faced by organizations. The Rapid Improvement Workshop is a powerful process. The key to success is having a planned scope of work, having the right cross section of people involved and by using skilled facilitation in order to capitalize on the time spent away from day-to-day business. Effective use of this process results in more improvement work being done in a short period of time.

A structured approach engages your team in identifying the problems to be addressed and focuses them on generating the solutions. Utilizing a “Train-Do” format, the team works together to transform problems, ideas, and solutions into implemented improvements.

HOW CONSULTING AND RIW ARE DIFFERENT:
MVP Business Solutions consultants can support entire organizational transformation efforts or deliver a Rapid Improvement Workshop which helps quickly deliver a specific lean improvement using the Train-Do, hands-on approach as part of an overall improvement effort. Because PPG Business Solutions isn’t a traditional consulting company our focus is to transfer problem solving and implementation skills to our customers. Rapid Improvement Workshops have a clear objective to facilitate learning and to improve the capability of the shop staff to continue implementation and improvement efforts after the consultant has left. PPG recognizes that some customers may want a guide on their journey. PPG Black Belt certified (fee based) consultants are available to bring a wealth of experience to assist with Implementing Lean for Collision. Customized consulting services are available for the situations and projects that require a more traditional approach. Click on Consulting Services for more information.
