You ask where the value is? But if you try a variety of Web page layouts, then pick the one that produces the most sales, how is that kaizen? What waste has been eliminated? What process has been improved?<BR/><BR/>Isn't increasing sales a way of generating value for the company and for customers? The process of selling is what has been improved.Ralph Bernsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872065446489560244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865768815327716731.post-91805683172760561482007-12-08T10:48:00.000-05:002007-12-08T10:48:00.000-05:00IMPORTED2/16/2007 2:58:35 PM Re: A Professor Misun...IMPORTED<BR/>2/16/2007 2:58:35 PM <BR/>Re: A Professor Misunderstands Kaizen<BR/>By: dcbliss<BR/><BR/>I've noticed in dealing with the media locally that it's difficult to convey what "lean" is to someone in 5 minutes or less. Even within the Lean community, there are various understandings of terms and methods (interestingly, one of those terms is "kaizen", which could either be a week-long event, or a continuous improvement philosophy). To demonstrate this phenomenon, just go to lean.org and read a few newspaper articles from across the country. Those of us who know this stuff need to take the media reports with a BIG grain of salt.Ralph Bernsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872065446489560244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865768815327716731.post-19496505621338234442007-12-08T10:47:00.000-05:002007-12-08T10:47:00.000-05:00IMPORTED2/16/2007 1:45:58 PM Re: A Professor Misun...IMPORTED<BR/>2/16/2007 1:45:58 PM <BR/>Re: A Professor Misunderstands Kaizen<BR/>by: qa.manager<BR/><BR/>Great post! This is a clear case of a fallacy of appeal to misleading authority. Use this checklist to avoid this mistake:<BR/><BR/>. Is this a matter upon which expert opinion is available? If not, then your opinion will be as good as anyone else's. If yea, proceed to the next question<BR/>. Is the authority an expert on the matter? If not, then why listen? If yes, go on:<BR/>. Is the authority biased towards one side? If so, the authority may be untrustworthy. At the very least, before accepting the authority's word seek a second, unbiased opinion. That is, go to the last question:<BR/>. Is the authority's opinion representative of expert opinion? If not, then find out what the expert consensus is and rely on that. If so, then you may rationally rely upon the authority's opinion.<BR/><BR/>If an argument to authority cannot pass these tests, ignore it!<BR/><BR/>Rob<BR/><BR/>www.63buckets.co.uk (lean)<BR/>www.qualityhero.co.uk (six sigma)<BR/>www.rob-thompson.netRalph Bernsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872065446489560244noreply@blogger.com
