Eine medizinische und gesellschaftliche Revolution Lithium ist ein Spurenelement, das seit Urzeiten für die Entwicklung allen Lebens unentbehrlich ist. Der Mensch bildet da keine Ausnahme. Aber leider herrscht ein weit verbreiteter Mangel, der unsere Lebensqualität mindert. Er führt zu einer Zunahme von Depressionen und Alzheimer-Demenz, zu vermehrten Einweisungen in psychiatrische Kliniken, zu mehr gewalttätigem Verhalten, zu höheren Suizidraten und letztlich sogar zu einer verkürzten Lebenserwartung!

Many kaizen programs aim to have a continuous flow, which means processes are constantly moving without interruptions. This is also the ultimate goal of lean production. A "cell" is a group of devices that perform tasks in a certain order, but it is not often to find a smooth and uninterrupted process, which is what makes a cell. In an ideal world, the product would flow smoothly from the beginning to the end, reaching the customer through all the stages of its production. But that would be too much to handle all at once. We need a place where we can focus. That place uses a system called a...

Continuous improvement, also called "Kaizen," means always trying to make things better. It involves making small, gradual changes to processes, systems, and activities in order to keep improving them over time. The aim of getting better constantly is to get rid of unnecessary things and make things go smoother, be better, and make customers happier. Unfortunately, many people wrongly believe that plan-do-check-act (PDCA) is a cycle for improving things without considering the involvement of people. PDCA strives to make process better, but if you only make the process better without ...

Gemba is a Japanese word meaning the actual place where value-creating work happens. Many leaders use gemba only for solving problems, visiting only when there is an issue. Others practice gemba walks on a daily basis to follow up and monitor the situation. However, Toyota believes that leaders truly develop through daily experiences at the gemba. In reality, gemba is a principle for managing, developing and improving people and processes. It is a valuable tool that helps lean practitioners learn the true facts so they can base management decisions on the actual situation.

In 1909 a deep secret was rediscovered. A secret that drove those that knew it to the furthest reaches of total success. Wealthy industrialists, politicians, captains of industry flocked to the man that knew the secret.

Mistakenly, many people think plan-do-check-act (PDCA) is a continuous improvement cycle, even if they neglect the human part. PDCA does aim to improve the process, but if you have only improved the process without developing and teaching your people, you have put the process at risk of slipping back. People must be trained in the culture of continuous improvement so they can keep managing the process with the new method.

Yes, people called the Toyota Production System an inventory reduction program when they first heard of it. “Just in time” is one of the main pillars in the TPS. “Just in time” ideally means “one-piece flow.” Inventory is the greatest waste in the process, and it hides many problems, such as quality problems, breakdown times, waiting waste, and more. Let’s get back to history. Prior to the 1970 oil crisis, very few people in the world know what Toyota was up to.
