clipper's remarks: how eKanban can lead to a leaner business

Clip Source: www.gsinnovate.com

eKanban: The Path to Growing Leaner

Although the concepts of Lean Manufacturing and Kanban originated with Toyota in Japan, their principles have since been adapted by the automotive industry and other high-volume manufacturing industries. Driven by Japan's "kaizen" initiatives for continuous improvement, the goals of today's Lean Manufacturing and Kanban software are to:

Eliminate waste, scrap and costly overstocks

Reduce inventories and associated costs through Just-in-Time (JIT) deliveries of materials for production

Reduce operating costs by driving out inefficiencies and non-value added processes related to material flow, inventory management, and production planning and scheduling

Improve customer service and on-time delivery rates

Reduce operating costs, while maximizing profit margins, cash flow and profitability

10 Technical Elements of Lean Manufacturing

Visual Control

Standardized Work

Total Predictive Maintenance (TPM)

Cellular Production

Error Proofing

Takt Time

Continuous Flow

Leveled Production

Pull System

The basic operating principles of Lean Manufacturing date back 50 years to a complete re-thinking of production processes at Toyota. This led to that company's development of the Just-in-Time (JIT) philosophy and the Toyota Production Systems (TPS), revolutionary steps which enabled the Japanese automobile manufacturer to successfully compete in domestic and global markets, despite its initially limited resources and capacity. And the rest, as they say, is history.

clipper's remarks: good idea , one chance

Clip Source: soft.ccw.com.cn

如果一家软件厂商要把一个软件产品卖好，不仅需要做产品研发，而且必须承担培训安装和售后服务的责任。由于一个软件企业创立之处规模较小，导致软件企业难以关注到产品本身之外的环节。长此以往，软件厂商疲于协调研发和服务而最终被市场淘汰。

SaaS模式将彻底改变这种现状。因为在SaaS的生态圈中，一旦有了软件运营商，整个产业会实现很好的分工，而分工在实践当中会实现创新。

“分工当中品牌的推广、销售的建设、物流支付都可以交给平台运营商做，软件企业呢?只需要关注客户需求和产品的本质。从而创造更高的客户价值。”年初被中国软协评为“中国SaaS领军人物”的阿里软件总裁王涛表示，这就是SaaS模式从产业上分析优于传统软件模式的根本原因。

Inventory Management: Make the Right Decisions at the Right Time

When it comes to inventory management and decision-making, manufacturers often have more questions than answers. Of course, there will always be questions about inventory control - How much do we have? Where is it located? How soon can we get it? Do we need to reorder?

Some complex inventory management questions might include:

What minimum/maximum quantities should we keep on hand to maintain a good balance between supply and demand?

How can we track the movement and location of materials and supplies from their source, at multiple sites, in-transit, and right to the receiving dock?

How can we design a supply network to optimize our sourcing and distribution strategies to increase efficiency and reduce waste?

What industry best practices can we follow in implementing initiatives such as eKanban, or Vendor Managed Inventory?

The Answer? Enterprise-Wide, Multi-Functional Inventory Management

Система «Мегаплан» — это отечественная система управления бизнесом, которая может быть установлена как на ваш сервер в интранет, так и арендована на серверах поставщика решения «Мегаплан» (SaaS).

При попадании в систему сотрудника встречает список задач, в котором видно суть задачи, прогресс ее выполнения, а также имя сотрудника, поставившего ее вам. Естественно, что задачи ранжируются по важности.

Кроме списка задач можно посмотреть их диаграммой, а также, в нижней части применить фильтр подсвечивающий задачи в зависимости от того, что вы вводите в реальном времени.

When is good? Bare-Bones Meeting Scheduler

clipper's remarks: Gosh, i love the simplicity. Not sure if there is a business model here, but it solves a big problem that lots have quickly and easily.

Clip Source: www.techcrunch.com

Need to schedule a meeting or phone call, but can’t agree on a time that is good for everyone? Try using When Is Good, a dead-simple Web app that does just one thing: zero in on a meeting time that is good for everyone without sending 20 emails back and forth. There are plenty of other apps that help you find a mutually convenient time time for meetings or events (such as Presdo, Scheduly, or Jiffle). But When Is Good strips the process down to its bare essentials.

No login is required. You simply highlight the times that are good for you and create an event. You are given a code and a link. You send the link out to your invitees and they are shown the available times, and they select the ones that are good for them. Easy.

The UK-based service is working on Outlook and Google Calendar integration, as well as premium features.

Gartner : 10 technos pour 2008-2012

By Cyrille Kriegel

technologie

Gartner a publié la liste des 10 technologies les plus importantes du monde informatique pour les 4 prochaines années. Je trouve le sujet moins intéressant qu’une projection sur les usages, mais cette vision permet d’imaginer les technos qui deviendront rapidement incontournables (si elles ne le sont pas déjà…).

Gartner’s Top 10 Technologies of the Next Four Years

The lifespan of technology

The lifespan of technology is such that it’s hard enough to buy a computer that will last you more than three years, let alone be state of the art after 6 months. So when Gartner Group – an information and technology research and advisory firm – releases their “Top 10 Technologies” list, it isn’t for “the next decade,” but rather “for the next four years.”

Such a list has just been released by the world’s leading technology research center, and appears below.

1. Multicore and hybrid processors
2. Virtualization and fabric computing
3. Social networks and social software
4. Cloud computing and cloud/Web platforms
5. Web mashups
6. User Interface
7. Ubiquitous computing
8. Contextual computing
9. Augmented reality
10. Semantics

A late 2007 survey of North American and European software IT decision-makers found that just 16 percent of respondents said they were already using or currently piloting SaaS applications. Conversely, more than 80 percent were still on the sidelines—curious, for sure, but not yet completely sold or running SaaS apps right now. (Forty-six percent said they were interested in SaaS or planning to pilot; 37 percent said they were "not at all interested.")

Eliminating the 7 Areas of Waste Through a LeanER Approach

Manufacturers today are facing greater competitive pressures than ever before. Global competition, complex supply chains, rising material and transportation costs, and increased customer demands for product customization and favorable pricing structures are just a few of the challenges. As a result, organizations are striving to reduce their operating costs as much as possible to ensure profit margins are maintained, delivery schedules are met, and customers are satisfied.

Overproduction

Excess Inventory

Transportation and Logistics

Excess Motion

Design/Engineering

Excessive Waiting

Errors

Many organizations that have already implemented a Lean approach have reported significant benefits- including lower operating costs, faster and smoother workflow, rapid return on investment, and high levels of customer service.
