In their minds, the only person really needed in <b>any</b> process is the one who schedules their non-stop meetings and brings donuts. (They then double as a guard to keep unemployed rioters from coming back in to lynch the "Lean Team".)<br /><br />Why is it that the people on the floor who can do two 8 hour machine cycle time / shifts of work in 10 hours (by overlapping start/stop times) are stupider than the people who stopped them from doing 16 hours of work in 10 hours and instead implemented TWO 8 hour shifts as being 'more efficient'?<br /><br />Answer: More employees equals a larger 'empire' & a perceived insulation between the 'Lean Manager' and unemployment. Besides... it's a government contractor & the extra time charged to the government means a larger bonus for managers.Dwaynenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865768815327716731.post-4812243643897296172009-03-12T06:10:00.000-04:002009-03-12T06:10:00.000-04:00Just a thought - what if they 're-engineered' the ...Just a thought - what if they 're-engineered' the process so the other 5 people were no longer required.

FWIW - it's possible to run that process even faster, although I suppose it depends on how you're triggering the start/stopwatch.<BR/><BR/>Great example though - abstract out to something real simple, and then tie it back to "real work." Works like a charm, although keeping that thinking in people's heads every day - well THAT is a major challenge.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>DanDan Keldsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989163772630815426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865768815327716731.post-87316475649765513822008-12-19T17:00:00.000-05:002008-12-19T17:00:00.000-05:00Ralph,Good job.

They will think about it and in 90% of cases, come up with some cool improvements. <BR/>Just keep asking.<BR/>SalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
