Paul! I love seeing these old videos! It's awesome to look back and see how far we've come!
Hi! I'm a student viewing from New Zealand. This video was VERY useful in helping me understand "U" cells. Much better than trying to understand diagrams in 2D. The presenter is very articulate too! Cheers.
Thanks you! Paul
Very cool thanks for the video.
Hi Leone: Thanks for your kind words. For more information on lean (and lean videos), check out our 2 Second Lean website (link in the video description). Paul
FastCap I’m starting to 5s the areas I’m over and to get the cells in a better flow. I enjoy your videos. Thanks Jeff
U shaped cells...who knew. Lean on!
So, you do use a batch and que system. This must be a high volume part.
This technique is used in short order kitchens all over the world. Not necessarily u shaped but everything within arms reach and no more than a pivot on one leg.
Great observation Clint! We can all learn from that! Paul
It is a small batch and que because the machinery that makes the product is within 5 feet of the inventory and the operator is managing the levels on a minute by minute basis. Very high-volume…billions!
You're using the term Poke Yoke wrong. A Poke Yoke system makes it impossible to make something incorrectly. What you've done with labelling each holder is not a true Poke Yoke, but a visual guide which should help reduce errors, not eliminate them. This is a common misuse of the term.
Hi Ian, you are correct. I am wrong. I'm am using the term loosely to get people to generally understand the objective! Appreciate the feedback! Paul
Send Sandi (sandi@fastcap.com) your email and she will send you a digital copy of my book. Thanks, Paul
