2. Problem: Few of my kaizen participants seem to be able to carry over the lean training on the morning of the first day into the current state mapping and countermeasure brainstorming.

3. Background: I've tried pre-event homework, longer training, all the toast videos, and team competitions. I've skipped all training and jumped into current state mapping, providing Just In Time training. I've tried current state mapping THEN training. I've assigned "Waste Watchers" for each type of waste. All are OK but I would like to hear more countermeasures based on lean, not pre-event ideas (I still get too many "work harder, punish them more, this time is different" proposals.)

4. Question: So, in the classic tradeoff between "time spent training' and "time spent solving the problem" what have you found to help carry over training into the mapping and solutions?

I have an major exam. Kindly help to answer the following questions

What will happen to inventory level if you reduce lead time by 50 %

explain what approach to be followed to reduce inventory/cost at the same time improve the service level of the customer?

what is the difference between response time and total factory lead time ?

The demand uncertainity forces decoupling point - Forward/Backward ?

Long lead time requires decoupling point forward/bacward ?

Kanban system can be used if range of assembled products is wide ? or if pieces are small ?
Thanks and regards

I'm carrying out a survey (using a questionnaire) as part of my Masters Dissertation and would appreciate any/all feedback from Lean Practitioners on this forum. Details are attached.
Thanks so much in advance.

We have read all the basic literature as Learning to see, Toyota Way etc to get some theretical knowledge about the subject.

Our question is if anyone have any good suggestions on other literature to read, for instance case studies where this method has been used in this type of environment?

Best Regards

Firstly, let me introduce myself. My name is Ada, and I am a Master student. Currently, I'm doing a research on lean manufacturing implementation in Malaysia industry.

Prior to releasing the final version of the instrument (questionnaire), I'm conducting a pilot study to test whether the instrument is reliable or not.

Thus, I am asking from all of you (especially those who are in the industry) to spend few minutes in answering my questionnaire. The link is as below;

http://www.eSurveysPro.com/Sur...9a9-9a7b-8cd81da8b53e

And if there are confusions while answering the questionnaire,kindly provide feedback and suggestions in order for me to further improvise my questionnaire.

I'm hoping for 20-30 response for me to be able to analyse the data,

Thank you in advance for your help and cooperation.


Warmest regards,
Ada ]]> http://www.lean.org/FuseTalk/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=72&threadid=6477 2012-11-16T08:53:39 -05.00 whattodo 3 ONLINE/FULLTIME....just know whats happening around the world.

I´m actively searching for worthwhile research topics/questions in the field of "Planning, management and interaction in the engineering, procurement and production using. Lean Construction." for my master thesis. Could you please introduce me some? And also, where can I find relevant papers in order to find worthwhile research topics? ]]> http://www.lean.org/FuseTalk/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=72&threadid=6357 2012-07-19T10:01:01 -05.00 BenjaminAgbanti 3
I am a student preparing to write a dissertation on the topic: "Lean Energy: efficient generation, transmission and distribution of electricity" and a data collection as well. I would like to identify energy wastes/losses by examining the processes involved with generation, transmission, distribution and consumption and a bit confused at this stage about the methodology and theories to use. Can anyone kindly link me to sources where I can get similar studies where lean has be used pls.?

Many thanks
