Organisation structure and on-time delivery
- Client sector: Financial Services
- Client sub sector: Banking (retail, commercial, investment)
- Summary results of the Lean Ireland engagement: 100% compliance to regulatory deadlines achieved.
Problem statement
The department of about 30 personnel was consistently failing to meet data submission deadlines set by the regulatory authority.
Objective
The objective of this engagement was to document current processes, identify risk of failure, root cause the risks and fix process failures.
Lean Ireland consulting/training work
"The Lean Ireland consultant, who had already been engaged in several consulting and training activities on site, surveyed the client’s department structure and process mapped key processes with client teams. The process mapping activity, together with team based cause and effects analysis, enabled identification of the root cause of departmental issues. Plans put in place to fix both process and personnel issues."
Detailed results of the client work
"(i) A new process was implemented and standardised across the department. (ii) A service progress tracker was put in places and performance guidelines established. (iii) The department was restructured towards a more customer friendly cellular structure. (iv) Customer satisfaction increased as 100% compliance with deadline was achieved. (v) Morale increased as personnel were actively involved in discussing the department restructure. In addition the credibility of the department in meeting deadlines was restored, which provided a great uplift in confidence. (vi) The organisation avoided potential costly penalties arising from late submissions."
Consulting/training nature of engagement
Onsite consulting on a number of days per months over a 6 week period.
