Lean Smarts Podcast: Lean Manufacturing | LeadershipFoundation Problem: When Your Production Teams Lack Real TeamworkIt is unfortunately pandemic: many organizations struggle to "go lean" because of a handful of common foundation problems. One we see often when working with clients is a lack of teamwork. Be careful with this!

In this episode Daniel shares six characteristics of high-performing production teams.

2021-04-0231 minLean Smarts Podcast: Lean Manufacturing | LeadershipDeveloping an Appreciation for the SystemMany lean implementation efforts have failed for either of two reasons. 1. Individual tools are cherry-picked and implemented individually without understanding that lean tools function together as an integrated system. 2. Or, lean is viewed only as a technical set or tools and the role of people and their behavior is forgotten or neglected. In this episode we explain the complexity of lean systems in simple terms. We talk about biology, technology, and even cyborgs in establishing the systems-nature of lean manufacturing.
2021-03-3125 minLean Smarts Podcast: Lean Manufacturing | Leadership10 Questions to Consider Before Starting LeanThe quick recommendations people make (like "start with 5S") assume too much about an organization. Even though 5S can be a good first tool to apply, many organizations would do well to do some ground work prior to picking up lean methodologies. This includes things like developing true teamwork, demonstrating a commitment to employee training and development, or even establishing basic metrics and engineering functions. While a list of questions to evaluate your preparation for "starting lean" doesn't do justice, here are ten questions to ask yourself to help gauge your readiness.

In this episode we explain what each one is, what they share in common, and how they differ from each other.
2021-03-1621 minLean Smarts Podcast: Lean Manufacturing | Leadership5 Reasons Why You Should Start With 5SPeople, consultants, and books often say to start lean with 5S... but why? In this episode you'll discover five reasons why starting your lean journey with 5S is a smart and strategic move. "Becoming lean" is not so simple as the copy-and-paste of lean tools, but it is true that doing 5S well requires you to create a cultural dynamic in your organization that is invaluable as you move forward with lean thinking.
2021-03-1517 minLean Smarts Podcast: Lean Manufacturing | LeadershipThe Greatest Waste of AllWhile lean manufacturing unquestionably concerns itself with the elimination of waste, this waste is the greatest of all! You will find that it originates from one of the primary founders and influencers of the Toyota Production System (TPS)—from which lean manufacturing was first discovered and canonized. Some people call it the waste of people's skills, potential, creativity, or even genius (the eighth waste). We like to think of it as the waste of a wasted life.

花園裡的光合進行曲我靈歌唱 – 17. Kirk Franklin (2) Lean on me內容介紹：
上帝除了善良的人以外，還會看顧那些孤苦無依的人。這次的主題歌叫做 Lean on Me 倚靠我，裡面就訴說著這些人孤兒寡婦，貧困卑微之人的故事。沒有父親的孩子、沒有住處的人、那個患有愛滋病的男孩，陳述他們心裡的聲音跟無奈。但神看到你的眼淚，祂正是能緩解你心煩意亂的那一位，祂比你所知道的更愛你。所以你可以倚靠祂。
這正是 “當代福音音樂之王” 的 柯克·富蘭克林 (Kirk Franklin) 。在1998年聚集流行和福音界的重量級歌手，包括U2的主唱Bono 一起合唱的Lean on me。在第二集裡，我們要從1998年介紹到2009年。在1998年，Franklin藉由一張由多個合唱團與主流音樂家聯手發行的專輯【 The Nu Nation Project】，拿下的獎項繁多不及備載，但這也成了他音樂生涯的轉折點。但也因為2000年的一場百萬美元的訴訟，The Family與他的合作正式終結。 面對這極大的轉變之後，他開始嘗試新領域，為電影製作配樂，這部電影就是 2001年的 “Kingdom Come”。
而在此之後，不論是2002年發行的【The Rebirth of Kirk Franklin】，或是 2005年的【Hero】，2007年的【The Fight of my Life】，都是回應了Kirk 每個生命階段的成長與領悟，不只是宣告出他的重生，更是他會繼續於這戰場上倚靠上帝，並充滿感謝，就如那首被GMA提名為年度歌曲的 【Declaration! (This is it) 】歌詞一樣。神看顧你，不論你的出生、困境，因為祂會親自看顧祂的孩子。趕快一起來聽精彩的節目吧！
This is it! It’s a new day, I’m not afraid anymore.
I speak against depression and fear,
This is your day, God has set you free!
I’m a child of the King！
就是這樣！這是新的一天，我不再害怕了。
我斥責抑鬱和恐懼，
這是你的一天，上帝讓你自由了！
我是天父上帝的孩子！
【Lean On Me】
This is for that little child with no father
For that man that doesn’t have a place to stay
For that little boy living with AIDS
Can I tell you a story, tell you a story
You can lean on me
There’s a man (oh yes)
Standing on the corner
He has no home
He has no food
And his blue skies are gone (yes it is)
Can’t you hear him cryin’ out
And there’s a girl
Searching for a father and a friend
Praying that the storm someday will end
But instead of walking away
Open up your heart and say
I am here. You don’t have to worry
I can see, I can see your tears (your tears)
I’ll be there in a hurry when you call (Yes I will)
Friends are there to catch you when you fall (Here’s my shoulder)
Here’s my shoulder, you can lean on me
(Halleluia) (Ooh Listen)
Oh, there’s a child
Who is sick and begging to be free
But there is no cure for his disease
He looks up to his mother and
As she hold (holds), his hand (hand)
Prayin’ that someday
The sun will shine again (And the...
