Go Lean

Dec 08 2011

What does getting LEAN really mean in business today?

We’ve all gone through the yearly ritual of trying to lose a couple of pounds. Why? Maybe because your doctor told you to. Maybe you want to wear that brand new 5 year old dress/suit that still hangs in your closet. Maybe you just want to have more stamina and energy. There are many reasons you may want to get a little leaner, and for most businesses it’s equally important to get LEAN too.

The truth is hidden in the important details. It is the basis for justifying the need to change and improve.

The “important details” of the value stream map tells you how far the order travels, how much time is spent at each step in the process, who touches the order, how long does the process take, what quantity is needed, what equipment is used, how much inventory in process, change over time per customer order, how long does it take to pull all the needed materials together.

Mar 25 2011

I often hear or even say the number 1 million and don’t think twice about it.  It is often used as an exaggeration like, “I told you a million times…” or as a way to categorize a company by saying, “They are a $1 million dollar company.” But what is 1 million?  What does it mean?  What does it look like?  Here are some fun ways to think about 1 million…

1 million pennies stacked up would create a wall that is over 4 feet wide x 5 feet tall x 1 foot thick!

Learning to See – Cash Drawer Lean Manufacturing

Jul 22 2010

So simple yet nearly everyone without fail in the beginning of their Lean Manufacturing Journey ignores the beauty of a map. How do we get from here to there? Where is there? Why should we go there? Who is there? These are often things one either thinks about or discusses with others. If you have ever been to a “learn to write or learn to speak” workshop, it is likely you have heard, “just jump in and do it” practice, practice, practice!

Well, of course we all know that! Right!?
