This book, "Enlarging Your Problem-solving footprint" is about involving floor-level personnel in daily improvements as you strive to achieve a TPS-Lean culture.

To save money during the economic downturn, many businesses are using abstinence policies. This might mean firing employees and reducing pay for some people. Actually, those actions might only work for a little while. If the company doesn't make a culture of always getting better and change how it works, the problem might happen again and get even worse.

Many activities are not useful and can be divided into two ...

The act of changing a line or machine from making one product to making another is called changeover. Changeover is when we switch from making one product (product A) to making a different product (product B). This involves getting the machines ready and getting everything prepared for the new process. It is considered a waste of time because you are not using the machine at that time, which means you are not producing anything. Additionally, you are still paying the operators and workers even though they are not being productive during that time. When automobile companies need to make new ...

The food system sustains life itself, but its hidden costs are overwhelming our planet.
