The real purpose of 5S is more than just cleaning up once. The 5S method helps to make standards that show problems, keep things stable so we can make small improvements, reduce waste, make a focused and organized workplace, and work together to keep getting better. Visual Thinking describes the 5S system as creating a work environment that is easy to understand, organized, and always getting better.

Changing how we manage people is important for making any business plan work. In his great book Toyota Kata (2009), Mike Rother talks about how Toyota changes the way its employees act and think by forming new habits and culture. Using the word "kata" to explain how Toyota solves problems instead of using the pharase "problem solving." Toyota’s way helps create a better work environment by teaching people to become better leaders and make positive changes.

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. The problematic management paradigm that must be shifted is that these people have been systematically and consciously removed from problem-solving activities. Much of the literature on lean manufacturing has lost sight of the basis of the Toyota Production System, which is, "cost reduction through the elimination of waste." To achieve this objective, you must make two large paradigm shifts, and a litany of lesser ones. First, to ...

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!

The food system sustains life itself, but its hidden costs are overwhelming our planet. Agriculture and food production account for roughly a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions, driven by sprawling, resource-intensive processes that prioritize convenience and profit over sustainability. From methane-spewing livestock to the fossil fuels powering transportation and refrigeration, the journey of food to our plates leaves an outsized carbon footprint. Imported avocados, out-of-season strawberries, and individually wrapped snacks are not just indulgences—they're emblematic of a global...

This book discusses the seven deadly wastes (muda) in the value stream process. It presents the cost of each waste, its effect on the process, and how it can be eliminated to increase profitability. Waste removal increases the profitability of any business. Processes are classified into value added and waste. The seven deadly wastes that could exist in any manufacturing process originated in Japan and are defined in the Toyota production system (TPS). The main goal became removing them. For each waste, there is a strategy to remove or eliminate it. What is less likely is that managers will ...

When I was growing up, I always thought there were only two ways to get rich. Number one: You were born rich. Number two: Some family member left you a bunch of money when they kicked the bucket. As much as people love to talk up the American dream, I grew up inside the American reality - raised inside a trailer in New Jersey, born to a 14-year-old mother. But now, things are a little different. I've done lots of cool things with my life, but most people know me as "the ab roller guy".

Are we being observed and visited by alien beings from another world or perhaps another space-time dimension? Thousands upon thousands of accounts of UFOs and alien abductions suggest that something is happening that we do not yet understand. Recently, even mainstream media organizations like the New York Times and the Washington Post have started to report on the bizarre sightings made by military pilots around the world.

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...

Toyota Motor Corporation made a system to make good products, save money, and make things faster by using less waste. TPS has two main parts, just-in-time and jidoka. It is often shown as a "house" image. To improve TPS and keep it running well, we use a process called PDCA or the scientific method. We do this by doing the same tasks over and over again and making small improvements called kaizen. TPS was created by Taiichi Ohno, who managed production at Toyota after World War II. Ohno began using TPS at Toyota in the 1950s and 1960s, starting with machining work. Then, he started using it...

First Chapter is about hoshin kanri. Lean strategy deployment is still an emerging research topic addressed by only a limited number of references. Some of these references have explained Hoshin Kanri as a tool for strategic management and planning to achieve the goals and they explain how the method aligns corporate strategic objectives as defined and managed by senior managers (at the strategic level) with the plans and activities of middle management and teams (tactical level) and the work done by the employees (operational level). This process is called catching balls, as all three ...
