Just what we thought it would be!<BR/><BR/>2) JMT (a descendant of work simplification) has been beefed up with TQC symbols and flowcharting ala Ben Graham/Mogensen/Shingo<BR/> <BR/>It really focuses on "what is the problem", etc., etc., etc. and helps you "choose" the path of J modules and other improvement approaches via TWI thinking.<BR/><BR/>In other words, it gets the trainees systematically thinking and analysing first and then choosing the tool later. This is drastically different than our current western lean approach, yet the eastern approach to lean was taught by westerners! To quote a great man, Charlie Brown: "AAAARRRRGGGH!"<BR/><BR/>Jeff, I'm getting a copy of as much as possible made up for us...it's everything we wanted!<BR/><BR/>BryanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00005560498779686434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565671869770103545.post-38225986180115218012008-03-11T22:41:00.000-04:002008-03-11T22:41:00.000-04:00Bryan,That's Awesome!!!

Keep up the good work my friend...this is the stuff history is made up of.<BR/><BR/>Does it appear that Program Development may have morphed into Problem Solving? Is there evidence of the familiar 7 or 8 step problem solving process that Toyota uses? Any indication that "Work Simplification" (Mogensen's adaptation of Gilbreth's Motion Study) played any role? <BR/><BR/>Wow this is very exciting! <BR/><BR/>JeffIslands Innovationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067958339009874960noreply@blogger.com
