Toyota uses #monozukuri and #kaizen extensively in the new Toyota Memorial Hospital.

Making processes simpler and better.

Research catching up with #Lean practice.

Don't have a meeting.
Let employees experiment ... and purposefully give them time to do it!

Companies are chasing productivity ... and WANT to use Lean.

In this article, bravo to companies who (at least) are trying to copy Toyota.

And booo to companies who are laying off workers and arbitrarily reducing budgets.

No @WSJ ... Firing people and taking away resources to force people to work harder is NOT #Lean

Sparce, skimpy, scant, anemic, meager, inadequate ... maybe.

But not Lean.

@errettedunn When I was your age, the kids wore bell bottoms and had mullet haircuts.

Wait a second ... that's still a thing.

"If you can’t make cars, improve the workplace. Kaizen efforts could be seen throughout the plant."

"Team members eliminated mistakes, creating videos of key procedures so inexperienced newcomers can easily grasp standard tasks."

Isn't this the 2nd time Starbucks has attempted to use #Lean Improvement without addressing #culture #respectforpeople in a significant way?

In response to worker complaints, execs used engineers to "improve operations & productivity?"

Student @UHBauerCollege demonstrates of One Piece Flow buy "building" ink pens.

#OnePieceFlow beats #batch easily!

This is one that "looks" like manufacturing and that you can easily try at home.
