Home Appliance Utilization | The Lean Thinker - 1 views

  • Typically a home washing machine completes its automatic cycle in just around half an hour. Typically a home dryer completes its automatic cycle in around 45-50 minutes. So, if you want avoid having the washer stand idle, what are you doing to do? I’ll tell you what nobody does. Nobody keeps putting loads int
  • the washer and piling up wet clothes to wait for the dryer. It is obvious that the dryer is pacing the process, and running loads through the washer faster than the dryer can take them would defy common sense. Wouldn’t it?
  • Yet we do this all of the time in factories. Why?

    Like the last para. "I often see companies "put on" Kaizen Events or Kaizen Blitzes . . . If a company's desire is to be successful their motto should be: Problem Solving-Everyday-Everybody." Kaizen is a wonderful tool, but one most effective within a culture that is always looking for improvement.

    I can't seem to get any of them to work. I started with the Bacardi tour, of course, and they all give me an error.

    When you go to Ireland perhaps a virtual tour of the Irish Whiskey plant would be in order!
  •  
    Now that is a great idea!
