We are living in the age of creativity. As much as 80% of managers admit that unlocking the creative potential in their organization is crucial to sustain economic growth. Unfortunately, only 25% believe that they are living up to their creative potential. The main reason for this discrepancy is the lack of an efficient innovation strategy.
Lean thinking, as developed by Toyota several decades ago, is a philosophy that contains a powerful set of tools that enable more efficient innovation, from ideation to validation. Lean releases wasted time and at the same time provides the necessary framework for left-brain scientists to become more creative.
This is a first presentation in a series that discuss the use of Lean thinking in R&D.
Lean is having an increasingly pervasive presence in the software world these days. Lean Software Development has its seven principles and seven wastes and promises to improve efficiency and quality. Many of the most innovative software development companies profess to have their philosophical home in Lean Startup's 'Build-Measure-Learn' approach, rather than Agile. But is Lean the same as Agile? And what about the proponents of Lean UX who are challenging the emerging orthodoxy of Agile SDLC frameworks with slogans like "Agile doesn't have a brain"?
In this session, we will explore the basic ideas of Lean thinking, similarities and differences between different flavors of Lean, how Lean can be applied to software development, and finally how Lean concepts can be used to expand the built-in 'inspect and adapt' cycles of Scrum to include learning about customer value.
This is the presentation I gave for my Senior Project in Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering at Indiana Institute of Technology August 17, 2009...A for the class!

The 8 waste in Lean Manufacturing - Lean Six Sigma TrainingAnkit Sharma
Waste is any step or action in a process that is not required to complete a process (called “Non Value-Adding”) successfully. When Waste is removed, only the steps that are required (called “Value-Adding”) to deliver a satisfactory product or service to the customer remain in the process.
In any business, the greatest enemy of profitability is waste-- typically of time or money. In lean manufacturing, waste is any expense or effort that is put forward which does not transform raw materials into an item the customer is willing to pay for. There are 8 types of waste in Lean Manufacturing. Seven of the eight wastes are production process oriented, while the eighth waste is directly related to management’s ability to utilize personnel.
LEAN Management:
It is a customer focused waste elimination method that makes the process and there by organization lean (eliminating Fat)
In a Lean company, employees always look to improve their skills and improve the processes. Products and Services are driven in right amounts, to right location, at the right time and in the right condition.
Lean Thinking
The Goal of Lean Thinking is the creation of a continuous stream which delivers customer value with the least waste of resources within the shortest possible time.
The Building blocks of Lean Management are 5s, 8 Wastes, Visual Management and Standardized work
This is a little presentation we used for our hourly employees when we rolled out lean. Not attached are the real life examples we discussed as part of the training.

Principles of Lean Manufacturing and Lean Startups applied to real estate development:
Waste in development, zoning, and permitting
Fixed costs and switching costs -- and why they present a problem for both cities and developers
Default bias in the permitting process -- populist permitting vs. the pink zone
Tools for developers: incrementalism, successional development, and build-measure-learn
I've been asked to put together a basic (and therefore relatively quick) introduction to Lean Six Sigma & DMAIC. While it’s not yet finished, I thought I would put it out there for people to comment on. Since the presentation is supposed to be training material there’s more text on the slides than I would prefer, but there are a few exercises and games to get the trainees involved.
I've put the PowerPoint version on my blog:

Provides an introduction to Lean Management and its application along with video links. The slide also details the improvement cycle with Value added, non-value added and waste in any activity or process. This slide focuses on the time and motion study and how to observe the process. This helps identify process time and determine if the process is value-added. Helps anyone who wants an idea on starting process analysis and continuous improvement in office and factory environments to reduce waste and get cost-effectiveness. Provides an overview of the lean tools and some videos to expand the basic knowledge. Provides a link for the file download for direct observation.

Have you ever wondered why certain scientists are more successful than others? Do you think it has to do with the topic of the research they are carrying out? Or the institute or laboratory they are associated with? We don't think so. Successful scientists brand themselves and their research. In fact they stand out!
As a niche player and specialist, I am continuously looking for new ways to valorize my main product, i.e. my brain output.Although Slideshare is great for marketing purposes and to attract traffic to websites, I miss one important feature, that is the possibility to sell my content directly on the platform rather than directing it somewhere else. Therefore, this presentation is directed to Rashmi Sinha, Slideshare CEO, to consider incorporating such an option.
Nitrogen cannot be used as carrier gas for GC. How sure are you about that? In this presentation we tackle what we call the “van Deemter indoctrination”. Take a look at our recent accomplishments and convince yourself to give it at try. Particularly now when more and more laboratories are suffering from inconsistent supplies of helium.
A dedicated GC/MS analyzer was developed to address the increasing need for more sensitive catalyst poisoner analysis. The system combines the separation power and robustness of a classic backflush configuration with Lowox column with the selectivity and sensitivity of mass spectrometry.
Metabolomics is the newest hype in the 'omics' family. Although defined as highly important to recent biological research, the analytical science applied is far from acceptable for the majority of publications that appear nowadays. Take a look at our approach to tackle the metabolomics issue, which remains a new name for an old science.
Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

15. “Lean is a philosophy with as goal
to increase productivity by systematic elimination of waste”
It starts with the visualization of a process.
In the broadest of sense, i.e.
manufacturing, service, administration, etc

28. WASTE #1
Too much transport (product, information)
Moving products to and from storage
Transport between workstations
Moving products and materials back and forth
Picking up signatures
29. WASTE #2
Too much inventory
Too much consumables, reagents, etc…
Multiple locations
Pending documents
Open projects
Unread emails
Unused/useless data in DB
30. Unnecessary motion of people
Not everything within range
Looking in materials/documents
Looking for materials/documents

WASTE #3
31. WASTE #4
Waiting…
For the previous process step
For equipment to be ready/available
For outpu/results (runtime)
For approval
For maintenance, (technical) assistance
32. WASTE #5
Overproduction
Too much reagents, standards, etc…
Too much samples
Too much data
Making reports that are never read
Making an extra copy (endless cc-ing)
37. Main sources of waste are:
Waiting
Overproduction & overprocessing leading to inventory
Motion
38. FLOW & PULL
A simple way to address these wastes
(similar to the assembly line in a car manufacturing plant)
39. FLOW & PULL
A simple way to address these issues
= make sure that a product never stops from the
moment the production process is launched.
(similar to the assembly line in a car manufacturing plant)
40. FLOW & PULL
A simple way to address these issues
= the subsequent process step signals when
ready to accept new product.

42. Kaizen
Continuous improvement.
Kaizen is derived from two Japanese characters; kai, meaning ‘change’
and zen meaning ‘good’. It aims at continuously eliminating waste from
the value stream. Therefore, it applies the so-called PDCA cycle.

48. 5 Whys
Question-asking technique to determine the root cause of a defect.
Ask five subsequent questions in response to an observed defect.
The answer to each question forms the basis of the next question.
The last answer points to the process failure that needs to be addressed.
49. One-piece flow
Approach to prepare each product individually rather than in batch.
By working this way, turnaround times are reduced significantly and the
impact of errors on the process is less significant because only ‘one
piece’ is involved rather than a batch of pieces.
50. “Sample prep” “Analysis” “Data handling”
Assume a process that consists of three steps.
Each step takes one minute to complete.
This is what happens in function of variable batch size.
51. “Sample prep” “Analysis” “Data handling”
Batch size, # 1st sample, min All samples, min
10 21 30
5 11 20
2 5 14
1 3 12
54. Kanban
System that matches inventory with actual demand.
Kanban is a visual technique that applies cards to signal when new
product is required. It is true pull, since the trigger to start production
send to the previous step in the production cycle.
61. “Sample prep” “Analysis” “Data handling”
1 2
This process is continued until all “Data handling” is finished.
62. Takt time
Production time needed to meet customer demand (= pull).
If a customer needs 10 units per week for example, then the average time
to build a single unit must be 4 hours (= takt time). Production must be
(slightly) faster than takt time, so that it can meet customer demand
without over or under performing.

In the previous slides is was assumed that
each process step takes the same amount of time.
In reality this is rarely the case.
