Here's how you can apply Lean Manufacturing principles to navigate career changes.

To identify VA and NVA in our current job, we can use "Day in a life" as a tool.Its a simple staked bar chart showing activity by an hour.Multi generational career plan will help to visualize future state.

Applying Lean principles to career development allows us to identify and focus on skills that maximize our professional value. In my experience, this involved enhancing specific competencies and constantly seeking learning opportunities. Just like in manufacturing, it's crucial to question whether each activity truly contributes to our goals, eliminating waste and optimizing our career path.

The best advice I can give for career development is to evaluate your attitude. Are you a team builder or disrupter? Are you a supporter or a naysayer? Do you say good morning or SSDD? Do you talk about value add work or complain about all the non-value add? Etc. You own you attitude and the results it brings.

Applying lean manufacturing principles to navigate career changes can be a creative and effective approach to managing transitions in one's professional life. Here are some ways you can leverage lean principles to navigate career changes: 1. Identify Value 2. Eliminate Waste 3. Continuous Improvement 4. Respect People 5. Standardize Work 6. Visual Management 7. Kaizen (Continuous Improvement) Good luck ??????!

Wonderful way of monitoring entire manufacturing Pillers like production, maintenance, quality and Process and its +ive impact conversion in finance that jump the turn-over same time magical ly cost reduction.Impotant part every employee move /kicks the grey material. Great way to change the environment of any Manufacturing Industry.

Applying Lean principles to career management is crucial for eliminating waste. Replace outdated software skills with modern tools like Python or Tableau. Move away from generic job search strategies towards tailored and targeted applications. Focus on industry-specific professional networks, cutting out participation in generic events that add little value. These actions align your skills and efforts directly with your career goals.

One of the basic principles of lean manufacturing is the optimization of resources, within which the waste generated by a productive process must be taken into consideration. For instance, in my professional experience I can say that in the plastics sector, waste occurs when the machines are heated, which are calibrated until the products are of optimal quality. Generally, previously recycled material is used for this process. In order to avoid waste of raw materials.

Concordo com a produtividade na escolha de redes de alto impacto. Atualmente temos muita informa??o disponível que nem sempre vai ser útil para atingir os objetivos profissionais. Para acessar essas redes, comece pelo seu networking, solicitando "dicas" valiosas...

Check and train staff on types of waste generally found in organizations. Conduct area specific studies on the top three waste to eliminate. Firstly implement 6S followed by TPM realize sizeable waste elimination or reduction. On a production line train staff on Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

A excelência nas opera??es está em buscar a eficiência sendo eficazes. Eficiência é fazer certo as coisas, seguir com disciplina os padr?es estabelecidos. A Eficácia é fazer a coisa certa, eliminando desperdício e tudo o que n?o agrega valor ao cliente. A alternancia cíclica entre a Eficiência e a Eficácia chama-se Melhoria Contínua.

Der KVP ist auch im beruflichen Umfeld wichtig. Regelm?ssig bestehendes hinterfragen und Situation anpassen Stillstand ist Rückschritt. Beispiel Dokumentation von Abl?ufen und Prozessen. Ist diese aktuell, klar und verst?ndlich ? Gleiche Frsgen auch für Prozesse. Ergo regelm?ssiger Kaizen ist eine M?glichkeit

Quando falamos de Kaizen no ponto de vista profissional voltado para persona. é preciso avaliar os gap's para ter uma visibilidade mensurável, os mais entendido chamam isso de fotografia do seu momento. Estes dados em m?o torna possível mapear oportunidades de melhoria, utilizando ferramentas como: Feedback imparcial; Análise SWOT; Teste de perfil (DISC) e etc... Lembre-se este é apenas uma pontinha do ICEBERG do aprendizado que transforma.

Kaizen is vital in career management, emphasizing lifelong learning and skill enhancement. For example, periodically adding updated certifications, such as an advanced project management course, can keep your skills competitive.

Para consolidar uma cultura de melhoria contínua é preciso que haja uma cultura de padroniza??o. Assim, se promove um ciclo contínuo : padroniza - melhoria - padroniza - melhoria , permanentemente. Esse é um dos conceitos básicos do Lean, "sem padr?o n?o há melhoria" conforme Taiichi Ohno criador do Sistema Toyota de Produ??o. Melhorar contínuamente significa eliminar desperdícios e tudo o que n?o agrega valor para o Cliente. Dessa forma melhora a produtividade, fazendo mais com menos. Melhora significativamente a Qualidade ao mitigar possibilidade de erros no processo e consequentemente reduz os custos das opera??es.

One of the key element is driving right mindset and behavior. People aspect is key for any improvement. Mindset for improvement and reflectingbtye same in the act of doing thing makes the difference.

The respect to the entire employees, this is including the hourly workers is esencial. By saying respect is to be able to hear and consider ideas of them as they are experts or will turn in on the task assigned of the process. This will also help comply with IATF 16949 clause 7.3.1 Awareness and create the employee to consider him self working in a good environment.

Respect for people they work with you. Treat them as associates and not subordinates. A Gardner who makes your landscape lush green and beautiful, plays a major role for making pleasant work environment. Try and appreciate him sometime. Everyone in your unit is as important as you are ….. just respect of mankind and next you will find success continue along with your career.

Respect for people can be a compelling influencer in one's career in so many ways. The maturity in our actions and words during the interactions will elevate your presence and remembered during your absence. As an outcome healthy & long-term relationship across all hierarchy will strengthen your influence. Conflicts arise resolving them amicably will lead to higher team performance and trust. It is your personality and credibility which increases your chances of career advancement, referrals and opportunities to leadership role.

As a Manufacturing expert, I wholeheartedly agree that respect for people is a fundamental principle in Lean Manufacturing. Recognizing the unique value that each individual brings to the process and providing an environment where participation is encouraged, and ideas and concerns are heard is essential for success in any organization. Emphasizing respect for people in Lean Manufacturing goes beyond merely treating employees courteously. It's about empowering teams, fostering an atmosphere of trust and collaboration, and acknowledging that each person has insights and experiences that can contribute to the organization's success.

Collaborative challenges, once an excellent way to increase productivity, are now a requirement demanded by new generations. Generation Z and the modern employee profile value diversity of perspectives and skills. Additionally, collaboration improves communication skills and fosters greater engagement. Thus, today's employees prefer environments where teamwork is key to success and personal and professional satisfaction.

Aiming for a smooth career transition involves aligning your actions with your career goals, a principle akin to Lean Manufacturing. Individuals navigating career changes should streamline their actions to align with their career aspirations, ensuring every step contributes to their desired outcome. By identifying their goals and strategically planning their actions, individuals can eliminate unnecessary detours and focus their efforts on activities that propel them toward their desired career destination. Just as Lean principles emphasize continuous improvement, individuals can iterate on their strategies, adapting them as needed to achieve their career objectives with maximum efficiency and effectiveness.

Optimize the flow of your career transition by aligning your actions and decisions with your goals, minimizing bottlenecks, and maintaining a steady progression towards your desired outcome.

This involves smoothing out the process to ensure consistent and uninterrupted progression. In the context of a career change, flow optimization could mean developing a seamless transition strategy where you continuously build and enhance relevant skills without substantial gaps or disruptions. For instance, you might take online courses or engage in part-time work that keeps you connected to your new field, thus maintaining a steady flow of relevant experiences and learning.

Personalmente considero que el flujo es todo en un proceso productivo, especialmente en líneas de montajes con R.C.R Recursos con Capacidad Restrictiva (Cuellos de Botella), por una sencilla razón, entre más rápido nos movemos más rápido podemos vender y recuperar nuestra inversión, es por ello que debe ser necesario redefinir métricas de operación (KPis) y estrategias al rededor de incrementar el flujo (no la producción).

Definir é o ideal. Defina o que quer na prática,os fluxos devem trabalhar para a necessidade!!! Eliminando os gargalos e contribuindo para o objetivo.

Utilize os recursos necessários e n?o invente a roda . Vamos dar um passo de cada vez, investindo o recurso e esfor?o necessário para o objetivo . "Objetivo e atender"

Unlike traditional push systems where production is based on forecasted demand, a pull system responds to actual demand. Applying this to a career change means you are more responsive to the job market and emerging opportunities. Instead of pushing ahead with predetermined plans that may not align with current market conditions, you adapt by acquiring skills and experiences that are in high demand. This could involve focusing on learning technologies or methodologies that have a high demand in job listings within your targeted role or industry.

Vejo a seguinte situa??o, a produ??o, tem que acontecer de maneira o mais continua possivel, garantindo uma produ??o eficiente e de qualidade sem retrabalho, ao produzir conforme a demanda do cliente, ficara exposto a problemas diversos de logistica, operacional, humano, fen?meno natural entre outros. Trabalhar sempre um passo a frente baseado em contratos e prazos.

Build Resilience: Having resilient manufacturing systems and supply chains is a key foundation of Lean Manufacturing. This ensure delivery to commitments even when faced with unplanned events. In the Lean manufacturing context, we do this by creating fall-back mechanisms for our most critical processes/equipment. In terms of careers, this can be done by acquiring forward looking skills and competencies. This has to be done proactively, even when you are thriving in your current role. This will ensure resilience in the face of unforeseen situations, which are all too common in today’s VUCA world.

Lean Manufacturing is such a great transferable skill that can be used in all markets and jobs. Value Stream Mapping helps you focus on what's important to the customer, because its focused on the value you're providing. 5S can be used everywhere, especially in data analysis, every company has warehouses full of data they don't need or use properly. Respecting people and empowering them to design innovative solutions can be used everywhere and it's so rewarding. Therefore, get out there and analyse how you can use your Lean Manufacturing principles in your next job, you'll surprise yourself and especially your new boss!

I would point out the way "lean people" think in general. For me becoming a LSS Blackbelt opened my eyes and I see the world different. Not looking on the shiny and most difficult aspects anymore (we engineers tend to do this), but see the world as processes and gradients. Process are modular and universal (so you can break down large problems) Gradient thinking will allow you to determine direction, extrapolate and identify and assess root causes or drivers.
