Eight types of waste in our process Continuing to improve Student Education Service Student Education Service Training and Development Programme WasteDefinitionExamples identified in the workshop D Defects Incorrect outputs being delivered by the process Wrong CAS status; errors in reports (e.g. ARGOS); reports using out of date terminology; scans can get lost between teams O Over – production Producing more than is required to meet the customers requirements Two teams both reporting the same things; multiple checks to see if we’ve got the CAS W Waiting Delays incurred throughout the process Transfer of data between multiple teams can lead to delays; not reporting attendance problems on time; N Non Utilised Talent Not providing opportunities for staff to work to their full capability A lot of manual inputting by people who could do other things; Natalie’s time spent firefighting T Transport Unnecessary movement of materials, people, products, information Walking over to counter to scan passports & documents I Inventory Work in progress in excess of what the customer needs Batching of enquiries / emails M Motion Unnecessary movements by people to complete a given task Scanner; multiple teams/locations; ISO files-movement; losing files down the back of the cupboard! E Excessive Processing Adding more refinements than the customer wants Inability to check submissions to Home Office leads to duplication of work & checking things to a greater level of detail than is needed.

Using the 5 Rs to show what we can do better Student Education Service Student Education Service Training and Development Programme RemoveReduceReplaceRe-orderRedeploy Remove local records and use shared records (e.g. SharePoint) Remove separate monitoring systems for PGR/PGT (one system for both) Remove the ability for schools/ academics to “hide” issues Remove old terminology from documents & systems Reduce duplication and manual checking Contact students once for multiple requirements (not multiple teams contacting them individually) Reduce local files by using CRM to track student communications Reduce the number of letters sent to PGR students (2 used for PGR but only 1 for PGT) Replace multiple systems with single system (e.g. ISO database, Case worker, Banner etc) Replace the bespoke system with the Banner Module (Sector-wide system) Clarify reporting requirements throughout the process to ensure centre/schools communicate well Replace existing training with new plus guidance doc’s and student information sheets Replace manual attendance monitoring with automated system Agree standard terminology to use to replace of old terminology Combine student records/communications to reduce “gaps” between teams Add clarity regarding withdrawal in “processed” step Attendance monitoring steps / issues to be dealt with via attendance monitoring review / process Scanning of documents to move from Counter to ISO Continuing to improve
