Along with the lives of the people level enhancement, people need more and more environmental service, the Shenyang environmental protection bureau receives every year the environment service request, from 10 year ago several hundred, rises present nearly ten thousand.
How enhances the environment service and the environment management efficiency and the level, was most urgent problem which the Shenyang environmental protection bureau faced recently several years.
2000 year's end, along with the new bureau chief's getting to work, the Shenyang environmental protection bureau have established the new leadership, in order to adapt China to join WTO, the new leadership begin to reform the Shenyang environmental protection bureau traditional management way , attempts with the new operation management idea to enhance government manages efficiency.
Weakness of the traditional management
At the beginning of 2001, a management meet was held on the bureau, all of the staff attended.

The leadership thought that is necessary to find the weakness of the bureauˇs management. They think the bureau must use some lean production idea on its management. They must find the waste of the job at first. One month later, by collecting advice of everyone, the new leadership has discovered that the Shenyang environmental protection bureau tradition management pattern has seven kinds of wastes in the management:
1.waste caused by waiting
冘The staff passively waited for higher authority's instruction, if the higher authority did not do job placement, did not instruct, most of the staff will do nothing, the higher authority did not inquire, they did not report. Many tasks were finished under the inspection and force.
冘The higher authority passively waits for the subordinate report. After work arrangement, the higher authority has not inspected, has not supervised, didnˇt investigation, verifies the situation, grasps the first material, only passively listens to the subordinate report, then makes the decision or reports to the higher authority.
This kind lacks the work sense of responsibility, initiative and the work enthusiasm, the satisfied present situation, is slack in work the situation initiation waste creates the harm is huge, harm organization's normal operation.
2.waste caused by the insufficient of cooperation
冘Weak coordinates between two departments, some department mutually restricts, does not link up, only does things on their own way, considered more about the department benefit first. These were huge influence the work progress.
冘The implementation and coordination of leadership instructor is disadvantageous. The work ineffective coordination organization arrange which to the leadership work instruction and the conference carries out, causes the bureau the request to stagnate in this department, forms the work blind spot.
冘The lack of Information transmission. The information stagnates in the correlation department, the correlation personnel hand, it causes to the information couldnˇt grasp and obtain by the related department, difficulty does the work with effectively, cannot accurate prompt decision-making. Between the department the information cannot be share.
3.waste cause by the management resources to be unused
冘The organization overlaps, the function overlaps, there more staff than needed, enables the management essential factor to be effective use.
冘The working routine complication. Some extremely vital duty, if does not have higher authority's signature or the approval, the work is unable to carry on, can appear waited for and stagnates and so on the waste.
冘Personnel's leaving unused. The personnel excessively are many, three people do two peopleˇs work.
4. Waste caused by disorderly
冘Lacks the explicit rules and regulations, the system, the flow, in the work is easy to produce chaotic.
冘The professional ability lowly creates disorder. Should undertake some work department and the personnel, take cannot do as the reason, refuses to undertake this work. When appears the department and the personnel change, the work connects with the strength, the cooperation does not arrive, originally forms the work flow is frequently overthrown, the artificial increase restores from the disorder to has the foreword the time.
冘Has disorder because of didnˇt observe the rule of bureau, do thing only by one's own wish, regards company's rules and regulations as other people's rules, does not have the autonomy, does not carry on the management inspection according to the system to create disorderly the management, dampens staff's enthusiasm and the creativity, mutually competes, affects the department the whole working efficiency and the quality.
5. Waste caused by dereliction of duty
冘The work deals with, works pursues the best result, many should daily carry on the work basically of earnest does, does not take the daily standard management, lacks the foundation work.
冘Has no plan in the work, does not have the self-examination front, works only does, along with time passing, behind forgets to do has not even done.
6.wasted caused by low effect
冘Administrative personnel's low quality causes the work the low efficiency.
冘No method of work as also is one of low efficiency reasons. The personnel arranges didnˇt not appropriately, can cause the low efficiency. The plan arrangement is unreasonable, the work on time completes with difficulty. The smooth arrangement has the question, can create primary and secondary divides, the key point works nobody to do.
冘The rigid way of thinking, does not have the innovative ideology, practiced the habitually used past the experience, the past method, facing the ever changing interior and the external environment, did not have the innovation and the adjustment.
7.waste caused by the insufficient plan
冘The plan establishment does not have the basis. Has not planned the work concept, does not have the long term work plan, work along with to do, the work plan lacks may the execution, needs to plan the synthesis department other expenditure massive time and the manpower analyzes and the search mistake, rerevises and the adjustment, creates the enormous waste.
冘The plan execution is not serious. After some plans establishment has not simply carried out.
冘The plan inspection is not earnest. The plan appeared the deviation, has not embarked from the question phenomenon, earnestly analyzes the reason which forms, as well as next step of correction measure.
冘Plan handling consummates does not arrive. The plan execution situation because does not have earnestly to analyze, has discovered the question, also does not examine the introspection, objectively analyzes the existence difference reason, then discovers the improvement measure, but emphasizes the reason constantly, shirks responsibility.
Plan and goal management
According the lean product, it must minimize the management waste. Because Lean production systems operate with lower amounts of inventory, additional emphasis is placed on anticipating when problems might occur before they arise, and avoiding those problem through careful planning. Even so, problems still occur at times, and quick resolution is important. Workers participate in both the planning and correction stage. The focus is on designing a system so that worker will be able to achieve high levels of quality and quantity.
Using lean production idea on administration, means that you should take some management method to reduce the waste of management, decrease the cost of management, reduce the waiting time of customer. In view of these questions, the Shenyang environmental protection bureau started to carry out the plan and the goal management from 2001. To the overall situation work formulation detailed total plan and the concrete action program, and decompose the plan to each staff.
They Follows some principle in the plan formulation process:
冘Emphasized each staffs all participate in the plan formulation

冘Not only pay attention to quota goal, also pays great attention to the qualitative goal
冘Let all staff understand the bureauˇs overall goal
冘Exam if the goal consistent with people's demand.
冘Confirm the possibly problem may be faced, determined what resources the goal needs?
冘Lists skill and authorization which realized goal needs, make it become clear about the authorization, in order to avoid the subordinate in the work time everything asks for instructions.
冘Prevented the goal is detained in the intermediate deck, not downward decomposes.
After goal and plan determination, the bureau implement work tracing, check work progress and its result. Appraises the result, and compare with the work goal. In the tracing process, If they discovered the serious deviation, they must to discover and analyze the reason. Takes the essential step to correct it, or change plan.
Therefore, the Shenyang environmental protection bureau has established the regular report, the report form system, set up regular conference system. Carries on the scene inspection and track. When they appraisal to the work, analysis deviation, they will make clearly that if the deviation was the staff unable to control or works ineffectually, and take the corresponding measure. They also feedback the work tracing situation regularly to the staff, in order to let the staff knew oneself displays, seeks to improve own method to overcome shortcoming. The deviation goal is absolutely does not permit.
Until now, the bureau has its own annually plan, each department in the bureau has its monthly plan, everyone has its own weekly plan. All the people do their work according to the plan. Through plan and goal management, the efficiency increased very fast. The cityˇs pollution controlling become strongly, the environmental condition improved rapidly.
