learning to Lean

From old-fashioned Mass-Production to Lean

Process Thinkers
Ford 1st- Flow production. Integrate entire production systm.

LEAN: Start with Custiomer & ask what he wants,Lean is about tools that create goods & services that offer precise customer value. , but with less human effort , less less space, less capital & less tim. Nxt difficult task is how to align pople.
1st instinct is usually wrong.

TOYOTA: 1st day - Blank A3 paper. Corner-Problem written. You have to go out & ask questions to various people & go again & again.

WALL MART Vs TESCO
Retail: Does the consumer want to go thro' all 1,00,000 items? Or does he want Fulfilment?

They divided RETAIL into 5 Formats:ONLINE
HIGH STREET
CONVENIENC
REGULAR SIZ
MEGAmANAGEMENT IS ALWAYS ABOUT SOLVING cUSTOMER PROBLEMS,cREATING PROCSSES TO SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS & ENGAGING ALL MPLOYEES IN ENRGETICALLY OPERATING & IMPROVING THES PROCESSES.
leaN IS BEST BUT WE ARE STILL IN EARLY ADOPTION CURVE.
