The Lean Startup book of Eric Ries brought me here.
What if problem is not resolved, even if its identified. At 1:25 when issue is identified, the problem is solved... can you explain more, is this wrong translation or I'm missing something. Thank you.
I work at Mazda Toyota Manufacturing in Alabama. For us on the Mazda side, either the issue gets fixed, or that car will go into an offline repair area to get the attention it needs.
And here we see the reason why Lean/TPS works in Japan, but does not in western countries. At Toyota the light calls for someone to HELP. In every company I've worked at that had those lights they called for 2 coworkers to laugh at you and a manager to yell ay you. Western companies lack the respect and trust towards their employees that this needs to work. Used to believe Lean is a great idea and beneficial to basically everyone and in every company. Now I believe it's antagonistic to life itself when brought in contact with western individualism and capitalism.
It takes a true leader to build a lean culture with all of their employees in the western world. Unfortunately, I would say only 1-2% of companies in the west are striving for this goal.
I work at Mazda Toyota Manufacturing in Alabama and I've never seen someone laugh or yell at you for pulling the andon. Sure there are times I wish the line would keep moving so we could avoid overtime, but the culture around it is solid. I just hate how often there is an abnormality to cause the andon to get pressed/pulled.
If people are laughing, that is not the systems issue but a workplace environment issue.
But I agree, if this happens too often, GLs get pissy because of too much downtime, regardless of quality..
Imagine the pressure 😢
if you frame your mind and culture this way it is. but in actuality this way can help minimize defects in the assembly line.
What pressure? You're encouraged to do these behaviors to prevent defects at scale. No one penalized or blamed for these things.
If everything is done as it is supposed to (training, attention to work, checks) the line doesn't actually stop that often. At my work, we get way more downtime from the robots and other equipment breakdowns than actual issues on the cars.
This actually minimizes pressure. Toyota employees are encouraged to take their time and to fix mistakes. As opposed to American companies that rush the assembly line and get made at mistakes.
Well here in Chile the Cartoni Workshop gave the car after repair with some parts with bad assemble. I preffer japanese worker than mediocrity. Toyota workers put love to assemble and the worker here convert the art into disaster
早く作れ！早く作れ！と鬼様に怒る企業です。マクドナルドは叩かれたけどトヨタは未だやり続けてる。
And this is why I have returned to Toyota from shitty ass bmw and garbage Audis
