Continuous Improvements using People and Technology and why we Should Hate Yokoten

Continuous Improvements using People and Technology and why we Should Hate Yokoten

RIGID, CRAZY LEAN

When we talk of Lean, what are the images that comes to mind? Unfortunately, they are not very positive. People tend to associate Lean with lay offs, low quality, cheap and may be even a rigid way of doing things that don’t make sense.

But in reality, Lean has to be associated with high quality / value for money, flexible, empowered way of doing things that make sense and…

Lean: 'Executive Disinterest' or Executive helplessness? True role of a Sensei!

Lean: ‘Executive Disinterest’ or Executive helplessness? True role of a Sensei!

Is Classical Lean the answer to difficult problems? Or is it just some costly window dressing? I was one of those naysayers many years ago – a problem of reducing inventory and lead time was ‘impossible,’ but learned surprisingly there were unusual solutions! Reducing defects was ‘impossible, ‘ until I leaned it was possible.

Why is there a widespread perception that Lean is a failure? Lots…

History and True Meaning of Scientific Quality Management and LEAN

History and True Meaning of Scientific Quality Management and LEAN

1900s to 1970s

With some imagination any problem is a LEAN problem!

Some historical information is useful. It is only about 100 years since it was discovered that production systems could be managed scientifically with measurements and structure. This is attributed to Frederick Taylor and demonstrated in the Ford mass production of cars in 1913. The next movement came during the post-World…

LEAN is not only for the Gods!

LEAN is not only for the Gods!

LEAN transformations are usually failures. We continue to debate why it is so. Lean is like Democracy and Happiness, it is a good ideal but hard to achieve.

Whatever we may have come up with as a solution for successful lean may have missed an important component of it – engaging the owner’s interest!

LEAN doesn’t have to be a failure. Successful Lean through Authenticicy, People,…

Here is a surprise - some of the things we do in the name of lean are wasteful. Reasons? Not employing top talent and not involving the people.

Here is a surprise – some of the things we do in the name of lean are wasteful. Reasons? Not employing top talent and not involving the people.

It’s easy to get carried away by lean and Six Sigma.

Six Sigma is about data collection and analysis, so it is easy to get overwhelmed with tons of pointless data and numerous spreadsheets.

Modern work places almost always have visual communication boards. So it is easy to get boards that have a lot of pointless information gathering, yet no information for quick decisions.

The reasons for this…

Remarkably easy way to prevent city workers from stealing time, adapted from latest lean tools in manufacturing

When Winnipeg Free Press reported that most city property and planning department inspectors stole time and worked for an average of only three hours a day, half of the city ruptured into moral anger. The department lines and internal investigation. The mayor ordered an independent investigation by the city of the ombudsman. And the provincial Premier ordered an investigation into a wide range of…

Why people-first LEAN is cheaper and gets 100% workforce engagement?

Lots of business owners confuse the objective of Lean as reducing the costs and size of workforce by employing less and less raw materials, not investing in capital equipment/ infrastructure, and creating a culture of fear with unreal expectations/ targets. This is totally the opposite of Deming’s 14 principles, but sometimes Deming and his principles are wrongly quoted! It’s like saying, the…

Surprisingly simple principle that Notre Dame church & Boeing airplane got wrong, and how businesses (small and big) CAN take advantage of! RISK!

The problem in Boeing airplane 737 max8 is something like this. Let’s say a brand new car is always steering to the right. This is the problem of design itself. Now it is possible to ‘fix’ the problem and drive the car if we bring in mechanical,electronic and computer systems to measure the deviation and apply hydraulic correcting forces. Two commercial lights came down recently- one Indonesian I…
