Pilots Are For Doubters, Naysayers, and Obstructionists
New process or new initiative pilots
are good for certain supply management ventures but don’t procrastinate or
extend them out ad infinitum. It’s a good way for the resistance to kill you
off. The burden of proof is 51 percent or reasonable. It’s not beyond a
reasonable doubt or a 12-0 unanimous jury vote. If you use the later criteria
you will never have a successful pilot. Make sure one person is accountable for
the pilot beachhead and can understand the total picture. Folks love
experiments, but remember that the first rule of experiments is to have
controls!
If you get consensus in a kaizen,
change the process, change it right away! Do not lose momentum.
