Describing these approaches as “complementary,” as Bozdogan does, avoids controversy, but I don’t believe it is accurate. They really are competitive brands put out by consultants vying for clients in overlapping markets. […] Exposure to the Toyota Production System (TPS) sparked my interest in manufacturing, in Japan in 1980, but then I immediately went to work in the semiconductor industry, where TPS is not much of a fit. Over the years, I have been exposed to all of the approaches surveyed in the article, and formed opinions about them, that I am sharing here. In particular, I would like to explain why I chose to work under the Lean flag and none of the others. […]

The NUMMI (New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc.) experiment remains one of the most remarkable stories in automotive history. As part of Katie Anderson's fantastic Japan Study Trip that I experienced last November, I had the opportunity to ask Isao Yoshino about his experience at NUMMI, where he played a pivotal role as the training manager at the very beginning. His reflections reveal valuable lessons about leadership, learning, and the power of culture change.

An Ode to Speed introduces a new approach to management decision-making and argues that, by default, we should be optimizing our organizations for speed and not for cost (or efficiency). Most managers appreciate the value of speed but lack the means or the mandate required to use speed as the basis for day-to-day management decisions. This book changes that.

Reynald Debaut-Henocque, former Vice-President Manufacturing at Toyota Motor Manufacturing France in Onnaing, describes in 5 minutes what "good" Lean is. All too often, critics of Lean reduce it to the formula "doing more with less". According to them, this approach developed by Toyota would inevitably lead to the destruction of jobs by eliminating waste, to the intensification of work by increasing cadences, and to increased stress levels with over-ambitious production targets. In this video, Reynald introduces us to "good" Lean through 8 essential points: - Have a medium- and long-term vision - Communicate this vision to all employees - Measure the gaps between the current situation and the objective - Define activities to achieve the objective - Train managers to be leaders - Define the company's management style - Train all staff - Define the organization needed to deploy activities - Seek growth opportunities

Let's cut to the chase - in quality the real signal is in the noise; the real signal is in the noise. How could it be any other way? I can assure you that there is both a deep irony here and more than a little apparent contradiction.

Within the quality profession, a capable process is one with a high Cpk. In the field, process capability is not quite so simple. [...] “Many manufacturers that I know struggle with incapable processes. Intellectually, people understand the concept of capability, but are unable to effectively apply it to an entire process. A single-figure measure for the entire chain would be ideal to better understand and manage it. The challenge is that the chain consists of processes with measurable characteristics, like thickness, substitute characteristics, like leak current to infer dryness, and also visual inspection results like blemishes or scratches. ...

There’s no doubt about the importance of a people-centric approach in Lean. More to the point, though, it is becoming increasingly evident that Lean tool deployment and people development should operate simultaneously, supporting and reinforcing one another, if you want Lean to work. Specifically this means training your team to think and work scientifically, so they can effectively handle the problems that Lean tools inevitably expose. ...

[...] caused me to revisit the 7 tools of QC from 50 years ago and ponder how they should be updated with current data science. Data Science for Operators, as a book, remains to be written. If you google this phrase today, what comes up is training courses offering to “change your career” by attending a “data science bootcamp.” TIBCO Spotfire has “Workflow Operators” but these are programs, not people. So the following are tentative answers to questions that haven’t been asked before.
