Book Synopsis Kaizen Event Fieldbook by : Mark R. Hamel
Download or read book Kaizen Event Fieldbook written by Mark R. Hamel and published by Society of Manufacturing Engineers. This book was released on 2010 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kaizen event effectiveness is a prerequisite for lean transformation success. It provides the necessary transformational jump-start, momentum, organizational learning and engagement, and sustainable, step-function improvements. The systemic use of kaizen events establishes the technical and cultural foundation for principle-driven kaizen -- the powerful combination of kaizen events and daily kaizen activities. The Kaizen Event Fieldbook brings this all together as an indispensable reference for lean leaders and implementers within any industry and for use at any stage within the lean implementation journey. One of lean's defining characteristics is learning by seeing, doing, and studying. In context with lean theory and lean leadership principles, readers will gain an understanding of the essential "whys" and "hows" of kaizen event standard work and event management, as well as a proven means to sustain the gains. The Fieldbook's multi-phase approach addresses strategy, pre-event planning, execution, and follow-through. Practical examples, over a hundred figures and tables, and many real-life "Gemba Tales" provide for an enriched learning experience. Also included is a chapter on the deployment of a kaizen promotion office, a glossary, and two appendices, which offer blank forms and an overview of daily kaizen.
Book Synopsis The Lean Turnaround: How Business Leaders Use Lean Principles to Create Value and Transform Their Company by : Art Byrne
Download or read book The Lean Turnaround: How Business Leaders Use Lean Principles to Create Value and Transform Their Company written by Art Byrne and published by McGraw Hill Professional. This book was released on 2012-08-31 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE C-LEVEL GUIDE TO SUCCEEDING WITH LEAN "With 30 years of accumulated experience, Art Byrne is one of the rare few people who can speak with authority about the pitfalls of fi nancial measurement systems, the importance of respect for people, the power of Lean in the marketplace, and the leverage from organizing people around value streams. When he writes 'Go to the Gemba and Run Your Kaizen,' we must take heed." -- MASAAKI IMAI, bestselling author of Kaizen and Gemba Kaizen "In this wonderful and important book, Byrne shows us that Lean management, understood and practiced correctly, consistently delivers spectacular results." -- BOB EMILIANI, author, Better Thinking, Better Results, and Professor, Connecticut State University "A compelling picture of how Lean techniques and attitudes enable CEOs and senior executives to create a culture for transforming a company and putting it on a highperformance path." -- JERRY J. JASINOWSKI, former President of the National Association of Manufacturers "Art Byrne provides real-world examples of how he exhibited the wisdom and courage to do the right thing, improving work practices at all levels of the organization to deliver the right results for all stakeholders. Which comes first, the wisdom or the courage? Read The Lean Turnaround to find out." -- JOHN SHOOK, Chairman and CEO, Lean Enterprise Institute "Lean is the closest thing to magic I have experienced in my 40 years in business. I recommend Lean and this book to everyone responsible for the performance of a business, particularly those in private equity like me, where leverage magnifies the importance of cash." -- JOHN CHILDS, founder and CEO, of J. W. Childs Associates L.P. "A must-read for any leader interested in understanding the strategic advantages from focusing on activities that add value to the customer experience." -- GARY S. KAPLAN, MD, Chairman and CEO of the Virginia Mason Health System Lean isn't just for manufacturing anymore . . . Few business leaders in the world have applied Lean strategy as successfully as Art Byrne has--and none has the ability to explain how to do it with such succinctness and clarity. Famous for turning around the wire management company Wiremold, where he rethought every aspect of operations from the customer's standpoint--and got everyone else in the company to do likewise--Byrne has successfully implemented Lean strategies in more than 30 companies in 14 different countries. In The Lean Turnaround, this legendary business leader shares everything he has learned during his remarkable career and shows how anyone can achieve similar results. His primary message is this: Lean strategy isn't just for manufacturing. In fact, Byrne is using this very approach in his present position at a private equity firm. Whatever type of company you run, Lean can be used to improve virtually every aspect of operations, from training and leading employees to accounting and payroll issues. The Lean Turnaround explains all the ins and outs of applying Lean strategy to: Eliminate waste in every value-added operation Deliver consistent value to customers Stimulate growth and add jobs Increase wealth for all your stakeholders Build a company culture of continuous improvement (kaizen) Instead of attempting to get customers to conform to your way of doing things--which is, sadly, what most managers are taught to do--you need to configure your company to be responsive to the customers. This is at the core of Byrne's method--and it always works.

Download or read book Kobudō written by William Marron and published by . This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While training with Master Nakamura, he charged Master Odo to bring together all his vast knowledge of kenpo karate and kobudō from his past instructors: Sensei Koho Kuba (Tomari-te), Master Shinpo Matayoshi and Sensei Mitsuo Kakazu (kobudō), Seiki Toma (kobudō), and Master Shigeru Nakamura (Naha-te & Shuri-te). In 1972, the Okinawa Kenpo Karate Renmei appointed Master Odo as president of the All Okinawa Kenpo Karate-do League. Soon after his appointment, Master Odo completed incorporating kobudō into the Okinawa kenpo karate empty-hand system as taught by Master Nakamura. Master Odo became one of the first instructors to combine a karate system with a complete weapons system. This book is an example of the organized system that Master Odo developed. Weapons presented in this text include the bó (staff), tunfá (millstone handle), sai (dagger-shaped metal truncheon), kama (sickle or hand scythe), nunchaku (flail), and nunte-bó (staff with gaff).This book contains a detail description of the Kobudō kata as taught by Master Seikichi Odo to Professor Bill Marron in the early 1970's. Each kata is based upon the first 3 instructional DVDs developed by Professor Marron and Shihan Crayton Moss. It is advised that students first learn the kata from a qualified instructor of Kobudō and use the detailed texts and DVDs to develop their expertise. This book was designed to help the Kobudōka remember the kata when they get a mental block while practicing. Each Directional Series with specific technical steps correspond directly with the detailed steps of the DVDs listed below. Our desire is each kata remain true according to Master Odo's wish, "keep the 'old ways' straight."For more information contact American Kenpo Karate and Weapons system (AKKW.net).Instructional Weapons (Kobudō) DVDs1.

It is well written and is an excellent adjunct for their demonstrations on the DVD sets. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in the Weapon arts of Okinawa. Congratulations on an excellent publication.Professor Ken Baker (Hanshi, Judan, Midori Yama Budokai)Having been a student of Okinawa Weapons since 1978, I was very pleased to receive an advance copy of "Kobudo, the Ancient Art of Okinawa Weapons," by William Marron (10th Black, Hanshi,-Professor) and Crayton Moss (7th 'Black, Shihan). It is a book that goes into such great detail on one of my favorite styles of practice. I have personally trained under Marron Hanshi. He was an excellent practitioner, a true gentleman and a great friend. He is greatly missed. I am so pleased that his protégé Moss, Shihan has continued to keep this legacy going forward with such a fine book. The DVD's and the book will go hand in hand to further the study of Kobudo.Note: A color edition is also available.

This book was released on 2009-09-04 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Toyota Kata gets to the essence of how Toyota manages continuous improvement and human ingenuity, through its improvement kata and coaching kata. Mike Rother explains why typical companies fail to understand the core of lean and make limited progress—and what it takes to make it a real part of your culture." —Jeffrey K. Liker, bestselling author of The Toyota Way "[Toyota Kata is] one of the stepping stones that will usher in a new era of management thinking." —The Systems Thinker "How any organization in any industry can progress from old-fashioned management by results to a strikingly different and better way." —James P. Womack, Chairman and Founder, Lean Enterprise Institute "Practicing the improvement kata is perhaps the best way we've found so far for actualizing PDCA in an organization." —John Shook, Chairman and CEO, Lean Enterprise Institute This game-changing book puts you behind the curtain at Toyota, providing new insight into the legendary automaker's management practices and offering practical guidance for leading and developing people in a way that makes the best use of their brainpower. Drawing on six years of research into Toyota's employee-management routines, Toyota Kata examines and elucidates, for the first time, the company's organizational routines--called kata--that power its success with continuous improvement and adaptation. The book also reaches beyond Toyota to explain issues of human behavior in organizations and provide specific answers to questions such as: How can we make improvement and adaptation part of everyday work throughout the organization? How can we develop and utilize the capability of everyone in the organization to repeatedly work toward and achieve new levels of performance? How can we give an organization the power to handle dynamic, unpredictable situations and keep satisfying customers? Mike Rother explains how to improve our prevailing management approach through the use of two kata: Improvement Kata--a repeating routine of establishing challenging target conditions, working step-by-step through obstacles, and always learning from the problems we encounter; and Coaching Kata: a pattern of teaching the improvement kata to employees at every level to ensure it motivates their ways of thinking and acting. With clear detail, an abundance of practical examples, and a cohesive explanation from start to finish, Toyota Kata gives executives and managers at any level actionable routines of thought and behavior that produce superior results and sustained competitive advantage.
