A concept of automation

Posted in ,

Within japaneese styled manufacturing there are a lot of different ways to set up manufacturing. One of these ways are the Chaku Chaku. It could be considered as another application of autonomation, “automation with a human touch” since the operator is ever present and able to supervise the process.

Chaku Chaku

It is a semi-automated way to run manufacturing where the operator prepare the next operation while the machine or line works on the parts in a automatic process. The literal definition is load load which would be the role of the operator.

Remember the basics

Posted in , ,

From the energizer bunny of Lean, Mr. Paul Akers, this gem is reminding us about the absolute basics of Lean.

“Lean is learning to see waste. The moment you begin to see waste, everything else will take care of itself. Until you don’t see waste in everything. You don’t understand lean.”

Akers, Paul

A new theme and design!

Posted in

Finally I have gotten round upgrading to a new theme. I found this theme Astra on wordpress.com and got it up and running with minimal adjustment.

The readability is very much improved on both desktop and mobile, the old one was close to unreadable on mobile. The only thing I am really missing is my old header image but maybe I will add it again at a later time. Right now the focus is on getting back to posting on a semi regular basis.
