Head of Lean Corporate Initiatives • Cypress Semiconductor
Best Practices:
- Transform: a) the technical system, b) the mindsets and c) the management infrastructure.
- When improving technical systems, first move to establish stability in your business processes.
- The first aspect of a Lean technical system is 'Flow,' in which work moves from one stage to another without stopping or retreating.
- The second aspect is 'Pace,' which means that product development activities should happen according to a regular rhythm.
- Third and fourth are 'Pull' and 'Level,' meaning work should be customer-driven (pull) and bottlenecks resolved by moving resources to where they are most needed (level).
- A Lean mindset entails robust learning cycles that are characterized by the sequence of Hypothesis, Experiment, Results and Conclusion.
- A Lean management infrastructure entails three sets of activities: disruption, construction and refinement.
