Six Sigma Lean is pure BS. Every company that I have worked for that implemented it or hired the "black belt" experts in it, have gone to hell in a hand basket quickly. Complete BS.
If my current company implements it, they will have my resignation letter by the end of the day. |

I've been in manufacturing and logistics for 30 years.
It's a $50 word heavy way of saying "hey let's find the most efficient way of actively managing this process to be as efficient as possible, while giving all the workers a say in the process and the outcome". The issue I have with "Lean" etc. is all the work and meetings and bullshit it takes to essentially get to where you would naturally go if everyone was doing their fucking job right in the first place, i.e. looking for the best and most efficient ways to get each part and the sum total of the operation working smoothly and well. All that extra work, reading, meetings, and bullshit doubles your workload, and puts the focus on theory instead of execution. And this is just my opinion, but execution is where the rubber meets the road. In my mind the best thing about Lean (and probably the most commonly left out item) is the concept of the "Andon Cord". The idea is to empower every worker to call a halt to the process when they see something not right, so you can stop production when a quality issue arises and fix it immediately rather than shipping a crapload of defective product. The problem with it is that in most big shops there is some agreement protected slug churning out 10,000 defective widgets over two days, they might see it but they don't pull the cord and stop it because they don't give a fuck. And that problem doesn't go away by waving a magic "lean" wand. |

Quoted: I and my coworkers still have no fucking idea what it does or how it does anything. It’s kinda hilarious that it gets brought up in meetings occasionally, I.e. “well we’re gonna keep doing this according to the Lean principles” but we don’t do anything different than two years ago. We basically had a one hour training on it back then, the supervisors don’t seem to give a shit about it, and you only hear upper management really reference it. Anyone else work for big corporations who roll out shit like this on occasion? It always seems to be forgotten about eventually. If you don’t know what lean is, it’s this system that was primarily intended for manufacturing processes…my company isn’t even a manufacturing company whatsoever which makes it even more inane. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_manufacturing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_Six_Sigma LoL….they are trying to replicate the Toyota Production System like a, “Cargo Cult”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah my company did this too. They had a class where you had to read the book. A chapter a week or something. it was connected to the personal development of your bonus. I didn't have to do it because I'm a consultant.  But yeah, I had trouble figuring out how this got incorporated into daily job duties. Funny but one reason for all the shortages during the lockdown was because lean manufacturing processes caused zero inventory and factories running at max capacity. (We run ours 24/7 even on Christmas.) It is funny. I find it humorous that Toyota, one of the inspirations behind the widespread lean manufacturing, had managed to stockpile more microchips (and other parts) than most other auto manufacturers. That is decidedly *not* very 'lean'. I worked for an educational institution a few years back and they were sending managers to classes to transition to a 'lean business model'. How that could apply to what we did, I have no idea. Of course, as a member of the unwashed masses, most of that crap just comes off as gobbledygook. I'd much rather dig ditches than listen to that kind of stuff everyday. |

About a year before I retired management came up with everything in it's place the same way on everyone's desk mandate. Came in one morning and everything on the desk was outlined in tape. Stapler, keyboard, phone, inbox/outbox - everything.
I ignored it and moved my things where I wanted them but every night after we left the office some management idiot came in and put everything inside the tape outline. Kept it up for a couple weeks but finally they dropped the whole thing. I was pretty sure of who came up the idea and that she orgasmed over taping everything the first night. Pretty sure she had a suggestion in and was trying hard to make some extra money by pushing it out. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Scrum works very well in software development, but one must have competent architects. That's where most companies that fail at scrum, do so. It fails due to bad management much moreso in my experience. A for instance is that the meetings in which the managers are supposed to only listen and not talk turns into an endless circle that only gets broken when they "understand" it all. I used to fucking LOVE pointing out that we're not really embracing scrum if we're corrupting it by altering its core tenets. And it always degenerates into more pressure at the front edge of the project, leaving maintenance, bugfixes and other critical things unhandled, and blamed on others for not finding "workarounds" because the team is "really busy on their sprint." |

If you go back to the 1940's it was basically what allowed our industrial base to turn into a war supply machine staffed with women and old men.
The fact that it is so poorly implemented in a lot of organizations speaks to poor leadership. You can't hire some consultants and put up some banners with buzzwords on them and expect instant change. In fact, you're probably better off launching small improvement projects with no fan fare. Just work to make the people that actually create value for your company more efficient. How many of you guys complaining have ideas that would make your job easier and more efficient by eliminating some corporate BS from your life? All it takes is strong leadership to come in and listen to the guys putting in the work and implementing the right changes. The biggest hang up that I see today is that most of those changes mean creating a "lean" management structure. Which means cutting out a lot of the middle management companies carry with no real benefit. |

Lean is a great system when correctly applied to a process, such as manufacturing, that would benefit from it. If you have to struggle to apply Lean principles to your process, you’re probably misapplying Lean.
Lean is a corporate fashion statement, unfortunately. We are going Lean! Great things! Much Efficiency! Savings! Wow! Ain’t I smart! Don’t I deserve a career achievement award for installing Lean in our facility! Now I’ll quit before anyone still at the facility figures out Lean will never work for them. |

You may have to manage up, and double click on some of your pain points. I would recommend you get the team in a swim lane together, and put some ideas to paper. If you can get enough brain power to drill down on a few core solutions, I would expect you would find things copacetic in your wheel house. I would setup a meeting to discuss, or circle the wagons off-line. |

There are different systems, different approaches, different sets of terms and ways to organize and measure efficiency. But it all comes down to competent management being able to implement a given system competently. I think most of us have seen where metrics are developed, and decisions are made based in those metrics, while painfully little is dine to make sure those metrics are really measuring what people think they are, or if there aren't perhaps better metrics that should be driving decisions. Often, the self interest of one person or subsection of an organization, based on the what the organization itself rewards and punished, is contrary to the overall interests of an organization. It is very, very easy to create situations like this with a half-assed (and, they all are to some degree) implementation of a new management doctrine. |

Well: Dude was given carte blanche to revitalize a warehouse that used to be a railroad warehouse. Thus, the ramps were parallel to the building and made 90 degree turns into and out of the warehouse. He did stopwatch and spaghetti track models only. Spend something like 10k on two straight metal ramps for the mighty mite trucks to enter on one and exit the other. It saved something like an hour and a half man-hours per day. No backing up, no additional movement. He adjusted some shelving and bulk storage to eliminate bottlenecks and allow for increased foot and forklift traffic. Same dude did a big project on a helicopter part that had a very high man hour demand. Tracked replacement parts, tool usage, and hours. Found out that the tools were in different tool boxes and the publications were torn and worn out. Put together a plan that would have cost something like $2k for two additional sets of tools, two dedicated carts, and printed and laminated instruction manuals. The boss flipped out, screaming about how he was saying his guys didn't know how to fix stuff, and how they needed toughbooks for the pubs. 6S dude gives up, they buy toughbooks, which quickly broke and couldn't be used with gloves on or in the bright sun. |

"That's a great idea guys but we already have a process in place and we're goint to stick with that." Genius. They spent nearly a $1M on this Kaizan stuff, including flying the Kaizan guru in from Japan to give a speach. The funny part is he doesn't speak English and nobody hired a translator. The had all of the mfg people in the big conference room listening to this guy babble on in Japanese for a couple of hours. Not a single manager or director had the the guts to say anything because this was some VP's idea(former GE guy). Add in 5S, Lean and 6Sigma simultaneously and the whole company was a cluster for years. You wouldn't believe how many tools were thrown out for 5S. Many of them custom for specific products.

This is how management adds value to an organization. Convincing those above them that they are implementing the latest wonderfad from whatever CEO magazine they read while waiting at the dentist office.
A big roll out then zero resources applied to actually making the solution work as designed (particularly bad with things like ITIL and Agile/Scrum that actually require dedicated resources to make them function as designed. Give it a year, two at the outside and no one will even mention the old fad and a new one will take it's place. Wash, rinse, repeat. |
