The document discusses the producer-consumer paradox between humans and the Earth. It questions whether the sustainability of natural resources and the air we breathe is truly infinite, as many believe, or just wishful thinking. It frames humans as both the producers and consumers in the relationship with Earth, which is also portrayed as both the producer and consumer, leaving the sustainability of this dynamic in doubt.

Jikotei kanketsu
O documento discute o conceito japonês de qualidade "Jikotei Kanketsu", que significa "não receber defeitos, não gerar defeitos e não enviar defeitos". Ele descreve como a Toyota aplica este conceito através de workshops, verificações de qualidade e organizando todas as áreas de trabalho em torno da segurança e qualidade dos funcionários e produtos.
Jikotei Kanketsu
This document discusses Jikotei Kanketsu (JKK), which is a Japanese concept that refers to a closed-loop system for detecting and eliminating abnormalities. It contains sections on enlightenment, a model of JKK, and elements of JKK. The key aspects of JKK discussed are that it involves human and machine intervention to detect issues, aims for a target condition of zero abnormalities, and includes standards and activities like poka yoke, andon systems, and process knowledge to achieve this goal.
Strategy to Execution in the service economy - Prof. Jochen Wirtz - October 2...
The document discusses strategies for achieving service excellence, productivity, and profitability simultaneously. It presents Singapore Airlines as a case study of a company that has achieved cost-effective service excellence through mastering paradoxes. Specifically, SIA has balanced service differentiation through excellence with cost leadership by pursuing centralized innovation with decentralization, being a leader in development while also following others, and standardization with personalization. The document argues that successfully navigating these paradoxes at both the strategic and organizational level is key to sustainable competitive advantage.
Security, Economics, Technology and the Sustainability Paradox
Security, Economics, Technology and the Sustainability Paradox: How worldwide security, economic, and technology trends, combined with the global shift to environmental compliance and sustainability, impose obsolescence, counterfeit, price/availability, DMSMS, and supply chain disruptions that must be managed. IHS discusses these issues and illustrate market intelligence tools, techniques, and best practices in managing the paradoxical risks and rewards heightened in the new generation we have entered.
Strategic management lecture2
This document provides an overview of strategic management concepts and topics that will be covered in a strategic management course. It discusses key concepts like vision, mission, objectives, internal and external analysis, strategy formulation and implementation. It outlines the traditional and modern flows of strategic management in organizations and the roles of different managers. The document also differentiates between deliberate and emergent strategies and provides criteria for developing objectives.
The Paradox Of Growth - Pipal Research
The document discusses the growth paradox faced by Pipal Research, a leading Indian KPO. Pipal has reached an inflection point where it needs to decide whether to focus on high-end niche research and remain the best (current model) or relax standards and expand volumes to become bigger. This will require trade-offs in areas like workforce skills and quality, infrastructure, personal touch and critical success factors. Maintaining leadership while joining the volumes race poses strategic challenges for Pipal.
EPR paradox
The document provides an overview of the EPR paradox proposed by Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen in 1935. The key points are:
1) The EPR paradox uses a thought experiment involving two entangled particles to argue that quantum mechanics provides an incomplete description of physical reality.
2) By measuring properties of one particle, corresponding properties of the distant entangled particle can be known instantaneously, appearing to violate relativistic constraints on information transfer.
3) While Einstein believed there were "hidden variables" not accounted for in quantum mechanics, experiments have verified quantum mechanics and shown that measurements do not reveal pre-existing states.
Paradox Of Choice
A review of the behavioral economics concept of the paradox of choice where some choice is good, but too much choice creates paralysis and dissatisfaction

Ohno and The 10 Commandments of Improvement
This document outlines 10 commandments for continuous improvement: abandon fixed ideas of how things currently are; think of ways to enable improvement instead of making excuses; search for simple, not perfect solutions; correct mistakes immediately; solve problems through ingenuity, not money; view problems as opportunities; ask "why" repeatedly to uncover root causes; seek ideas from many people continuously; and recognize that improvement is a never-ending journey.
Wise words 2008 honorable Dr. Fujita
This document discusses the concept of Kaizen management and 5S. It begins with an introduction to Kaizen, defining it as continuous improvement and noting its focus on small, incremental changes. It then covers the 5S methodology, which consists of 5 Japanese words: Seiri (Organization), Seiton (Neatness), Seiso (Cleaning), Seikestu (Standardization), and Shitsuke (Self-Discipline). The document provides examples and explanations of how to implement each element of 5S to organize and clean a workplace for improved efficiency and productivity.

Thank you letter from David Heinonen Plant Manager of Allied Resinous Products
David and I became friends during my time at Allied Resinous Products.
There was much turmoil when I arrived, and with the help of David, Bill Zona and Miller Strickland we began the journey of making the company profitable.
Allied Resinous Products was sold to Spartech Plastics, through a strategic purchase and infused cash into the organization.
Team Work made this turnaround successful.
Three Evils of Meetings
Meetings should have clear goals of discussing important topics and reaching decisions, rather than just meeting for the sake of meeting. Effective meetings avoid wasting time by making sure participants discuss the agenda and make decisions that are then carried out, instead of just talking without a purpose or deciding things that are not later implemented.

Structural Weld Overlay CPNPP
The document summarizes the application of lean thinking and continuous improvement tools to optimize the structural weld overlay process during a refueling outage. Over 130 people participated in Kaizen events to value stream map the process, identify constraints, and implement improvements. This resulted in completing the work 5.5 days ahead of schedule while maintaining zero safety incidents or weld defects. Key aspects included visual management, continuous metrics tracking, and aligning the work to meet customer needs of plant operations and regulatory requirements.

Fukuda's Parable with a Twist
This document describes a parable called "The Pool" that illustrates the concept of change management using the "Rule of 3". It presents a scenario where the target is to get everyone in a swimming pool participating and having fun. Currently, 300 people are in the pool having fun, 600 people are watching from the pool area, and 100 people are in a nearby house sometimes peeking outside. The goal is to get the 600 watchers in the pool and the 100 house people to the pool area using the Rule of 3 without directly talking to them. It involves 3 "pool people" demonstrating the benefits to 3 watchers, who will then do the same to spread the word, following an empirical growth curve model. It includes an
Dunstan Lean thinking Applied to Mining Operations
This document discusses the application of Lean Manufacturing principles in mining environments based on the experiences of Rio Tinto. It begins by introducing Lean Manufacturing and its origins at Toyota before discussing how Rio Tinto Aluminium, Northparkes Mines, and Hunter Valley Operations have implemented Lean. Key elements of Lean discussed include establishing Information Centers to track metrics, empowering employees to solve problems and identify waste, and focusing on continuous incremental improvements. The document evaluates both the successes and challenges of applying Lean principles from manufacturing to mining.
Kamishiba process and general training instructions created bytodd mccann[3]
This document provides an overview of the Kamishibai process, which is used to establish standard inspection methods and support continuous improvement. It contains the following key points:
1. Kamishibai aims to establish inspection standards focused on specific areas to ensure standards are met and improved. It exposes deficiencies and drives timely corrections.
2. A Kamishibai post is used to visually display inspection cards and results for all to see. Inspectors perform objective inspections against known standards.
3. The process fosters a culture of respect and continuous challenge to find ways to improve current conditions. Inspectors are taught to critically examine areas without blame.
M&TE CAL LAB "Use of A3 during Problem Solving" Instruction
The M&TE calibration lab aims to improve visibility and planning of equipment calibration needs by linking them to the plant maintenance schedule. Currently, calibration needs are unplanned and reactive. The proposal aims to assign all M&TE to logical groups, include calibration needs in all work orders, and identify needs by T-7, T-1 and T-0 weeks to enable proactive calibration planning. Key indicators of improvement include increasing the percentage of work orders and discretionary calibrations that are planned in advance.
The pool
The document describes different groups of people in terms of being in a house, pool area, or pool. It discusses moving people from the house to the pool area, and from the pool area into the pool. It suggests that if a small number of people in the pool share their positive experiences with others in the pool area, it could encourage more to join the pool over time through social influence and curiosity.
