31. Docker and the Three Ways

32. The First Way: Systems
Thinking

33. Left to Right Flow
• Variety"
• Determine your variety of offerings
based on operational efficiency and
market demand!
• Velocity!
• Maintain a steady flow through all
processes of the supply chain!
• Variability!
• Manage inconsistencies carefully to
reduce cost and improve quality!
• Visibility!
• Ensure the transparency of all
processes to enable continuous
learning and improvement
