Who Said That? Lean Secrets believe using quotes can be a very important tool when introducing/implementing Lean/Continuous Improvement methodology. As Lean was born in Manufacturing these are sometimes classes as Lean Manufacturing quotes, however we believe these are transferable to all sectors. We have comprised a list below that we believe will allow you to engage with your audience and introduce Lean / Continuous Improvement concepts in an interesting way also proving that the concepts you are introducing are not new and are proven. When delivering any element Lean / Continuous Improvement we always use quotes and if you are lucky enough to have used our 21 Step complete methodology you will see our favourite Einstein quote his definition of insanity at the top of the worksheet To do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result.

Username I say an hour lost at a bottleneck is an hour out of the entire system. I say an hour saved at a non-bottleneck is worthless. Bottlenecks govern both throughput and inventory. Eliyahu M. Goldratt, The Goal Password Remember Me If we reduce batch sizes by half, we also reduce by half the time it will take to process a batch. That means we reduce queue and wait by half as well. Reduce those by half, and we reduce by about half the total time parts spend in the plant. Reduce the time parts spend in the plant and our total lead time condenses. And with faster turn-around on orders, customers get their orders faster. Eliyahu M. Goldratt, The Goal "Your Way" Approach for success Improvement usually means doing something that we have never done before. Shigeo Shingo Lean / Six Sigma / Continuous Improvement Methodology Misc Kanban is like the milkman. Mom didnt give the milkman a schedule. Mom didnt use MRP. She simply put the empties on the front steps and the milkman replenished them.

Why not make the work easier and more interesting so that people do not have to sweat? The Toyota style is not to create results by working hard. It is a system that says there is no limit to peoples creativity. People dont go to Toyota to work they go there to think Taiichi Ohno

A bad system will beat a good person every time. ~W. Edwards Deming

A corporation is a living organism; it has to continue to shed its skin. Methods have to change. Focus has to change. Values have to change. The sum total of those changes is transformation. ~Andrew Grove
