Industrial Engineering - DRIVES Model - Prof. Rapinder Sawhney

 



1. Define- Define the constraint as internal or external

2. Recognize- Recognize constraint value stream

3. Identify- Identify the critical path using critical path method

4. Visualize- Visualize root cause of constraint

5. Execute- Design lean based system to address root cause

6. Sustain- Sustain the lean design through cultural adaptation and training

The first four phases of the model (DRIV) focus on problem identification and problem definition, whereas the fifth and sixth steps (ES) refer to solving the problem and sustaining the solution.

Lean sustainability failures are also exacerbated by Lean’s push for waste reduction, often at the cost of employee well-being.  The Sustainable Lean model, developed at the University of Tennessee has a special focus people systems. 

  The following four principles are emphasized: 

1. Reduce resource and effort level by strategic problem definition, 

2. Align all efforts with system growth and competitiveness, 

3. Enhance throughput and capacity, and 

4. Enhance employee quality of life.
