Developing time based analysis frameworks and models that can reduce all types of waste in a wide range of organisation’s.
Key words and areas of impact are –
Value adding capability, Supply chain synchronization, Performance measurement, Employee driven transformation, Looking at organisation’s through the lens of time, Sustainability, Competitiveness, Visual communication.
Best results – Manufacturing - 550% increase in profitability over four years. Throughput time reduction examples – 20 hours to 35 minutes, 14 hours to 45 minutes, 29% increase in sales output value per employee, lower fixed cost, 60% reduction in inventory, greater market share, etc. Empowered teams with direct cell feeds of material under Kanban pull type control.
My worst findings – Northern UK City Council disabled adaptations unit. Total calendar time consumed 104 weeks, value adding time 4 weeks = 4% value adding capability.
Most worrying results – NHS Health Trust – Analysis found value adding capability was 14% with a huge amount of untapped potential but the CEO wanted the findings to be buried because they were too revealing.
The Time Based Model is a blank representation onto which real live data gathered from the organisation is superimposed.
Could compressing your total manufacturing or service throughput times by 75% or more, radically improve your value adding capability?
Money is the universal measure of outcomes from an organisation, but time is the universal measure of how to obtain the best outcomes.
Time based tools and techniques provide a greater understanding of how we can improve the performance and sustainability of our existing organisations. These new time focused designs can improve value adding capability and improve operational effectiveness on a truly international basis.

I just finished to read the book from Dr.R. Barker "The Time Based Organisation". I fully recommend it. Time Based Analysis offer the possibility to reach agreement faster in different areas and at all level without the need to discuss or explain too much about "Lean Principles", which usually take time to really understand due to the cultural context. Time is usually a scarce resource in many organizations. The TBA method enable us to effectively illustrate and measure the value added creation chains and the impact of non value adding activity upon profitability. This is an advantage vs VSM and it helps to overcome the hurdles of traditional accounting practices where "small" improvements are not visible. The book is full of examples with clear descriptions, helping CI, Kaizen , Operational & Business Excellence practitioners to reflect about own experiences and how it can be applied in any kind of organization and conditions. I what like most is the possibility to reflect on how "different" methods share common principles to enable the transformation and eventually the "State of Readiness" described in the book from Joseph. #operationalexcellence #changemanagement #transformationalchange #businessexcellence #continuousimprovementculture #leanmanagement
