? What is Evenness? How are you measuring this in your organization? Let us show you how we do it with our clients and partners. ?? First, what is evenness? ? Evenness is a constancy of flow or condition that results in a beneficial outcome. ? In Business, Evenness is a state in which those involved in a process, or invested in an outcome, can count on regular, consistent, and predictable inputs, processing, and outputs. ? Evenness is also a matter of perspective.?What some perceive as an even output at one point in a process can be preceded or followed by frenzied or erratic flow.?So often, Evenness is a local point of view. ? There are two types of Evenness. Enterprise Evenness is the degree to which an organization’s Values Streams are Even.?One of the best metrics for Enterprise Evenness is Forecast Accuracy. Local Evenness is the degree to which key performance indicators or important conditions are Even from the perspective of those who work in a particular process, system, department, etc.?Local Evenness is also called Organizational Evenness. Why is Evenness important? ? Rational reason – when you have a high degree of Evenness in a process, you can predict the outcome.?What you can predict, you can control, and what you can control, you can improve.?So, Evenness provides a platform for optimization. ? Emotional reason – Evenness reduces surprises and the need to react to them.?Evenness reduces stress, anxiety, and fatigue.?In other words, it reduces Overburden, which is called Muri in Lean Manufacturing.?It enables the customer of the process (internal and external) to benefit from the certainty of on-time delivery that meets quality specs. ? Tangible reason – A high degree of Evenness allows those working the process to fine-tune it because they seldom fight fires. This transition from firefighting to fine-tuning drives variation and waste out of the process while increasing velocity and quality. Evenness is a key competitive advantage that is free in that it costs only the will to keep working on it.?Perhaps most importantly, when the people see that their leaders relentlessly strive for Evenness, they are inspired to action. ??
