Its aim is to enable each industry to broaden and strengthen their competitiveness through knowledge sharing and bench-marking against each other and different industries.

SUMMARY:LBI July Series Discussion 2: Managing Peak Demand
DESCRIPTION:How Lean Principles Supported An Post Manage Increased Christmas Demand\nMany companies face peak demand issues requiring redeployment and hiring of temporary employees to meet seasonal demands\, none more so than An Post. The Leading Edge Group were commissioned to review and put in place a structure and plan to manage the 2019 Peak which was estimated to increase dramatically from the previous year with significant volumes forecasted by one of their key customers\, Amazon. Lean principles were deployed such as value stream design mapping\, standard work and demand/capacity modelling to identify constraints and inefficiencies and to allow the operating units to align capacity well in advance. This also allowed Sales to provide feedback to customers in terms of effective capacity and service levels and therefore manage the expected demand inflows. More effective operating layouts and flow management processes were also developed so that product status was highly visual and further improvement opportunities were easy to identify and execute. The success of the project was enabled by high levels of teamwork and communication\, supported by daily huddles and weekly KPI meetings which were rigorously attended by all the key stakeholders. The result was that An Post delivered a 100% increase in Parcel volumes which continued through further demand spikes resulting from COVID-19. \n  \nPanellists: \n\nPat Cullinane\, Transformation Consultant\, Leading Edge Group\nDavid Murray\, Head of Mails Operational Excellence\, An Post\n\n  \nAs this is an online panel discussion\, please: \n\nMute your microphone. If you are calling from a smartphone you will see the mic symbol or press *6 after you dial in;\nUse the chat function in Zoom to ask questions or email Senan.ORiain@ida.ie before or during the call;\nPlease note that this is a Zoom Call\, so places are limited and priority will be given to industry reps;\nA Waitlist will be set up if demand requires\, the event will be broadcast live on YouTube\, a link will be made available at 6.15pm to everybody on the Waitlist;\nA recording will be made available afterwards.\n\n  \nPlease check www.LeanBusinessIreland.ie for further details and Join Your local Lean Regional Network!

SUMMARY:WIT Lean Practitioner Seminar Series 15/01/20 (LEAN IN MICRO & SMALL ENTERPRISES - STARTING AND BEYOND)
DESCRIPTION:About the Speaker\nDave Mitchell is the RIKON Centre Commercial Manager with responsibility for Lean and Operational Excellence. He manages and delivers Business Process Improvement and Lean Business Model projects to a variety of organisations in services and manufacturing. Dave has over 25 years’ operational management experience in the private sector. He believes that the adoption of Lean is situational and different in every organisation with the involvement of people being key to sustainable success. His experience with SMEs throughout his career has shown him both the potential benefits and the opportunities for Lean adoption together with the value it can create. A recent graduate from the WIT Master of Business in Lean Enterprise Excellence\, Dave also holds qualifications in Business Systems Analysis\, Scrum Project Management\, and is a PRINCE practitioner. \nAbout the Topic\n\nLean was\, for a long time\, incorrectly portrayed as the domain of large manufacturing organisations. Dave will dispel this myth and show how Operational Excellence can be achieved in any Micro/Small business using a Lean approach. You will be introduced to the principles of Lean in plain language and shown how you can get started on the path to adopting it in a sustainable way. We will look at how supply chains are being impacted and how Lean will impact as we progress through the 4th Industrial Revolution. \nThere will also be the opportunity to gain some practical experience through some simple workshop exercises that show the benefits in terms of improving your business. \nNo prior knowledge is required – just an open mind and a desire to optimise your business.

SUMMARY:South East Lean Network: Leadership Skills For Engaging Staff In Quality Improvement (QI)
DESCRIPTION:About the Speaker\nJuanita Guidera is a Senior Manager in the Health Service Executive where she works as a Quality Improvement (QI) Facilitator focused on Staff Engagement for Quality. A key part of her role is to influence cultural change through designing\, developing\, and testing organisational interventions to enhance staff engagement\, innovation\, and action. This work focuses on supporting leaders to further develop leadership skills for engaging staff as a core competency and keystone of quality improvement. Marrying the evidence and the experience of staff within the cultural context with the use of creative facilitation techniques\, it becomes possible to hear and value the staff voice as a positive and powerful force to improve quality. Of special interest is the move for leaders from a control and command leadership style and that delicate balance in delegating autonomy while maintaining overall responsibility for delivery. Juanita has worked in healthcare since 2001 and has lectured both nationally and internationally. \nAbout the Topic\n\nJuanita will deliver an interactive and experiential session focused on leadership skills for engaging staff in quality. Throughout the session\, participants will have an opportunity to: \n\nexplore the cultural challenges that present during this work\, and\nexperience techniques that are designed to change the conversation and outcome of QI.\n\nA number of the facilitation techniques used will come from the world of “liberating structures” which complement Lean and other QI methodologies. This session will be of interest to anyone who has ever tried to convince someone to join them on an improvement journey. \nLean Practitioners Sharing Knowledge\nThe South East Lean Network and WIT Academy of Lean Enterprise Excellence present the Annual WIT Lean Practitioner Seminar Series\, kindly supported by Enterprise Ireland and brought to you in association with Waterford Chamber Skillnet. \nThis is a series of free monthly network and knowledge exchange events that bring together continuous improvement practitioners in Lean enterprise\, operational\, and process excellence to share their expertise\, knowledge\, experience\, and good practices.
