Toyota Production System Concepts - Process Mapping the Toyota Way

Mohammed Hamed Ahmed Soliman

Sinossi

Value-stream mapping or process mapping is drawing a picture of all the parts and information that are needed to make and deliver a product. It is an important tool used to make things better by finding and getting rid of waste. Toyota created a tool called a material and information flow diagram, which is very important for their production system.A value stream is everything that needs to happen to make and deliver a product to the customer, both the important things and the ones that are not so important.Value stream mapping usually starts with a team making a map of how things are right now. This means taking a picture of how materials and information move through a value stream. Next, the team creates a map of how things will be in the future. This means a picture of how things and information should move through the process to create value.Repeating this many times is the easiest and most effective way to help yourself and your coworkers learn to recognize what is important.Value-stream mapping is often used in lean manufacturing. However, people in charge of businesses in any field can find it useful.

Time Talent Energy - Overcome...

Michael C. Mankins, Eric Garton

Managing Your Scarcest Resources 
 
 
 
Business leaders know that the key to competitive success is smart management of scarce resources. That's why companies allocate their financial capital so carefully. But capital today is cheap and abundant, no longer a source of advantage. The truly scarce resources now are the time, the talent, and the energy of the people in your organization—resources that are too often squandered. 
 
 
 
Building off of the popular Harvard Business Review article "Your Scarcest Resource," Michael Mankins and Eric Garton, Bain & Company experts in organizational design and effectiveness, present new research into how you can liberate people's time, talent, and energy and unleash your organization's productive power. They identify the specific causes of organizational drag—the collection of institutional factors that slow things down, decrease output, and drain people's energy—and then offer a pragmatic framework for how managers can overcome it. With practical advice for using the framework and in-depth examples of how the best companies manage their people's time, talent, and energy with as much discipline as they do their financial capital, this book shows managers how to create a virtuous circle of high performance.
