這是必須得到高級管理層積極支持的文化系統。毫不誇張地講,這種文化系統和那種"只要還沒有壞,就不要修復它"的心智模式是截然相反的,而更像是這樣一種心智模式: "即使沒有壞,也要改進它,因為如果我們不這樣做,我們就競爭不過那些這樣做的"。

This is a cultural system that must be actively supported by top management. It is literally the opposite of the “if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it” mentality, being more of an “improve it even if it isn’t broken, because if we don’t, we can’t compete with those that do” mentality.

P.106
在"改善研習會"後面,有兩個基礎性原則:
a.不要只是做規劃....去實現它。
b.現在就得到50%的改進,勝於等待數月來期求完美。

There are two fundamental principles behind a Kaizen Workshop:
Don’t just plan…act!
It’s better to get a 50% improvement now than to wait months hoping for perfection.

你也許已經注意到VSM是聚焦於時間而非成本的。精益思維一個關鍵的真知灼見,它認為: 減少成本的最佳途徑根本不是盯在成本上,而是要全神貫注於提升成本的根本原因-循環時間和質量上,而讓成本降低只是這樣做的副產品。

You may have noticed that a VSM focuses on time and not cost. A key insight of Lean thinking is that the best way to reduce cost is not to focus on cost at all, but to let cost get reduced as a byproduct of focusing on the root causes of increased cost: cycle time and quality.

精益方法對解決問題方面的反應是,不能僅僅解決表面上的問題,而是要找到問題的根本原因,然後消除它。根本原因分析技術即用於此。根本原因分析不是精益方法所獨有的,但的確是精益恩維的一個基礎部份。

The Lean response to resolving a problem is not to merely fix the surface problem, but to find the root cause of the problem and fix that. Root cause analysis techniques are used to do this. Root cause analysis is not unique to Lean, but it is a fundamental part of Lean thinking.

有許多方法可用來做根本原因分析,但其中最常用和最容易的是記住所謂的"5個為什麼"方法。簡單地講,就是起碼要問5個"為什麼"的問題。

There are many ways to do root cause analysis, but one of the most common and easiest to remember is known as the “five whys.” This simply means asking the question “Why?” at least five times.
