Lean Communication

Applications for Continuous Process Improvement

By: Sam Yankelevitch,Claire F. Kuhl

Today, with a kaleidoscope of disruptive forces affecting business transactions, the speed of commerce, and the ferocious level of competition for consumer loyalty and business survival—the cost of an enterprise’s faulty communication can literally make or break a product. This book is an introduction to concepts associated with Lean methodologies and how these can be adopted to uncover waste and drive improvements in the interactions between participants in an organization. Lean Communication provides the reader with analyses and solutions that can help frontline teams in today’s global supply chains, which are characterized by inherent problems rooted in time zone, language, and cultural differences.

Global Lean

Seeing the New Waste Rooted in Communication, Distance, and Culture

By: Sam Yankelevitch

Just because a problem is invisible doesn’t mean it’s not affecting your operation. While communication, distance, and culture are often ignored as real threats to your results, these unnoticed forces are negatively affecting companies that operate internationally. Globalization has amplified a series of obstacles we not have paid enough attention to in our organizations. Ultimately, it’s humans that solve problems in coordination with other humans, and this requires excellent communication. Currently, people must coordinate actions and collaborate with teams sitting in geographically separated places. Misunderstandings and lack of clarity, however, cause high, unbudgeted costs. Global Lean: Seeing the New Waste Rooted in Communication, Distance, and Culture highlights the waste created by these interactions and adopts Lean thinking to provide methods, approaches, and real case studies to eliminate these problems at the source. As organizations evolve into global networks, Lean initiatives must now meet new needs. The book follows the story of a CEO and his company that, while successful in their local environment, are heavily impacted by new obstacles as they expand internationally. It illustrates how they adopt Lean methodologies to bring hidden problems to the surface.

Walking the Invisible Gemba

Discover the Hidden Link Between Communication and Quality

By: Sam Yankelevitch

Gemba is a Japanese term that refers to "the real place." In business, when we walk the gemba, we are searching for any nonvalue added activity directly at the source where it is happening. Every day, people in business make mistakes that can be costing them thousands and even millions of dollars. Some of these mistakes are caused by invisible factors, one of them is miscommunication. The problem is, many of us think someone else is responsible for communication so things don't get fixed, and if we first have to communicate before anything gets done, then it becomes critical to shine a light on this invisible process. Your competitive advantage hinges on your ability to get things done right the first time, which means tasks and activities must be accurately coordinated by people to ultimately satisfy the customer. Using a mind-shifting approach, Walking the Invisible Gemba guides leaders on how to avoid the costly effect of miscommunication by teaching - why communication is everyone's responsibility - how to "see" the hidden sources of poor quality and wasteful activities - the foundation of zero defects in the daily interactions of your stakeholders - how to adapt quality and continuous improvement to reduce misunderstandings Whether you are in a large, medium or small organization, part of the C-suite, project management, operations, quality, supply chain or practically any function in a company where people have to interact with others to get the job done, Walking the Invisible Gemba will help you transform the most frequently used process, to gain a never-ending advantage over your competition.

Lean Potion #9

Communication the Next Lean Frontier

By: Sam Yankelevitch

In today's global business arena, the shop floor now covers the world, and what ties everything together is communication. Author Sam Yankelevitch challenges readers to apply the transformational magic of lean thinking to the waste and confusion that plague global supply chains when cultures collide and meaning gets mangled in even the simplest conversations. Using entertaining real-life stories, Lean Potion #9 demonstrates that communication is a process and illustrates how lean champions like you can adapt familiar lean concepts and tools--such as Five S, PDCA, and the 7 Wastes--to address miscommunications that cause unbudgeted costs, confusion, and frustration. Lean Potion # 9 is a call to action for leaders at all levels to embrace the power of lean to reengineer communication processes. Communication is the next lean frontier. Are you ready to explore it?
