Framework aiming to provide a new way to think about how to organize human activities
Lean ойлау – тиімділікті және жұмыстың сапасын жақсартуға бағытталған философия, тәжірибе және принциптерден тұратын басқару жүйесі. Lean ойлау бүкіл ұйымның қатысуын ынталандырады. Мақсаты – қоғамға көбірек пайда келтіру және жеке тұлғаларға құндылық сыйлау үшін адам қызметін ұйымдастыру, сондай-ақ ысырапты жою.
Lean thinking is a management framework made up of a philosophy, practices and principles which aim to help practitioners improve efficiency and the quality of work. Lean thinking encourages whole organisation participation. The goal is to organise human activities to deliver more benefits to society and value to individuals while eliminating waste.
Тарих
"Жүйелі ойлау" термині 1988 жылы машина жасау инженері және MIT аспиранты Джон Крафчикпен қалыптастырылды, ол кейін көп жылдар бойы Google LLC компаниясының автотұрақты жүргізу бөлімшесін басқарды.
The term "lean thinking" was coined by mechanical engineer and MIT graduate student John Krafcik in 1988, who subsequently went on to run Google LLC's autonomous driving unit for many years.

Тәжірибе көрсеткендей, Lean ойлауды қабылдау терең тамырланған дәстүрлі басқарушылық ойлаудан бас тартуды талап етеді, ал бұл ешқашан оңай емес. Lean ойлауды қабылдаудың үш негізгі жолы:
Experience shows that adopting lean thinking requires abandoning deeply engrained mainstream management thought routines, and this is never easy. The three main ways to adopt lean thinking are, unsurprisingly:
"Aha!" moments by seeing someone behave in a striking way, or hitting upon a new idea by reading a book, visiting a workplace, or being beaten over the head by an old time sensei. Aha! moments are powerful, but unfortunately rare, and need the right conditions to occur. Everyday practice by the daily use of "lean" practices. These practices mainly originate from Toyota and are essentially "think with your hand" exercises. Their purpose is not to implement new processes (as they are too often interpreted) but practical activities to lead one to see the situation differently and have new ideas about it – to adopt a leaner way of thinking. Joining lean self study groups by practising kaizen with others and identifying which role models one would like to follow. The lean community is now a generation strong and has many great examples to offer to any lean learner, whether beginner or experienced. Workplace visits with experienced lean thinkers remain one of the most effective ways to grasp their meaning. In the lean thinking tradition, the teacher should not explain but demonstrate – learning is the full responsibility of the learner. However, to create the proper conditions for learning the lean tradition has adopted a number of practices from Toyota's own learning curve. The aim of these practices is not to improve processes per se but to create an environment for teachable and learnable moments. Kaizen activities: Whether cross functional workshops, team quality circles, individual suggestions, and many other exercises, kaizen activities are about scheduled moments to improve the work within the normal working day. The point of kaizen is that improvement is a normal part of the job, not something to be done "when there is time left after having done everything else". Kaizen is scheduled, planned, and controlled by a teacher who makes sure Deming's plan–do–check–act is followed rigorously. Kanban: Kanban is the foundational practice of lean thinking (the Toyota Production System used to be first known as the Kanban system). Any process will have different output. For instance, nowadays, a writer will produce books, keynote speeches, blog posts, tweets and answer e mails. The question is, at the present time right now, how can the person using the process know whether they are doing what is needed for customers right now or whether they are working ahead on something not that important and lagging behind on something critical. In project management, this creates segments ahead and segments late, and end of project panic. In production, this creates entire warehouses of inventories to compensate for the inability to produce right now what is needed. Kanban is a simple technique using cards or post it notes to visualize "leveled" (i. e. averaged to avoid peaks and troughs) activity at the process. The writer will start a new book when she's delivered one. She will worry about the new conference when it's time to. She will write a new blog post at a steady rhythm rather than publish five in a rush and then one and so on. In production, kanban cards make sure employees are working on what is needed right now and not overproducing parts which will then linger in inventory whilst others will be unavailable. Kanban is the main practice to reveal all misfits between today's activities and how the market behaves. Kanban teaches one lean thinking by constantly challenging assumptions about market behaviour and our own flexibility. Autonomation: In any contemporary setting, everyone uses either machines or software to do any work. Yet, this automated work still requires specific human judgments to be done right. As a result, many machines can't be left alone to work because they're likely to go wrong if someone doesn't watch them all the time. Autonomation is the practice of progressively imparting human judgement to a system so that it self monitors and stops and calls a human when it feels it went wrong, just as a desktop computer will flag a virus alert if it feels under attack. Autonomation is essential to separate people from machines and not have humans doing machine work and vice versa. Automation teaches lean thinking by revealing new ways of designing lighter, smarter machines with less capital expenditure. Andon: Calling out when something feels out of kilt and to visualize that call on central board so that help can come quickly. Lean thinking is thinking together and no employee should be left alone with a problem. Andon is a critical system to be able to train employees in the details of their jobs within their own operations. Andon teaches lean thinking in highlighting the immediate barriers to the lean goal of zero defect at every step of the process at all time. Through andon it is possible to think better about training people and improving their work conditions to take all difficulties away. SMED: Originally known as single minute exchange of die (changing tools under 10 minutes), SMED is a key lean thinking practice to focus directly on flexibility. Flexibility is central to flow and always a problem, even for an engineer's mind – how flexible is the group to move from one topic to the next? Flexibility doesn't mean changing everything all the time, but the ability to switch quickly from one known activity to the next. SMED teaches lean thinking in always seeking to improve flexibility until one reaches true single piece flow in the right sequence to respond to instant customer demand. Standardized work: Lean thinking is about seeking the smoothest flow in any work, in order to see problems one by one and resolve them one by one, thus improving both the flow of work and the autonomy of the person. Standardized work is the graphic description of this smooth flow of work at takt time with zero or one piece of work in process and clear location for everything and steps. Tricky quality points are also identified clearly, to make sure the person visualizes first, what is important for the customer, how to distinguish OK from not OK at every step and have to move confidently from one step to the next. Standardized work teaches lean thinking by visualizing every obstacle to smooth work each person encounters and highlighting topics for kaizen. Visualization: Most lean thinking techniques are about visualization in some form or other so that people can see together, know together and thus learn together. Visual control is the essential trigger to creative problem solving as all can see the gap between what was planned and what actually happened and can seek both immediate countermeasures and root causes. Visualization teaches lean thinking by getting people to work together on their own problems and develop their responsibility to reaching objectives without overburden.

"Аха!" сәттері – біреудің ерекше мінез-құлқын көру, кітап оқу, жұмыс орнын аралау немесе тәжірибелі сенсейдің назарын аудару арқылы жаңа идеяға тап болу. "Аха!" сәттері күшті, бірақ өкінішке орай сирек кездеседі және орын алуы үшін қажетті жағдайлар керек.

The aim of these practices is not to improve processes per se but to create an environment for teachable and learnable moments. Kaizen activities: Whether cross functional workshops, team quality circles, individual suggestions, and many other exercises, kaizen activities are about scheduled moments to improve the work within the normal working day. The point of kaizen is that improvement is a normal part of the job, not something to be done "when there is time left after having done everything else". Kaizen is scheduled, planned, and controlled by a teacher who makes sure Deming's plan–do–check–act is followed rigorously. Kanban: Kanban is the foundational practice of lean thinking (the Toyota Production System used to be first known as the Kanban system). Any process will have different output. For instance, nowadays, a writer will produce books, keynote speeches, blog posts, tweets and answer e mails. The question is, at the present time right now, how can the person using the process know whether they are doing what is needed for customers right now or whether they are working ahead on something not that important and lagging behind on something critical. In project management, this creates segments ahead and segments late, and end of project panic. In production, this creates entire warehouses of inventories to compensate for the inability to produce right now what is needed. Kanban is a simple technique using cards or post it notes to visualize "leveled" (i. e. averaged to avoid peaks and troughs) activity at the process. The writer will start a new book when she's delivered one. She will worry about the new conference when it's time to. She will write a new blog post at a steady rhythm rather than publish five in a rush and then one and so on. In production, kanban cards make sure employees are working on what is needed right now and not overproducing parts which will then linger in inventory whilst others will be unavailable. Kanban is the main practice to reveal all misfits between today's activities and how the market behaves. Kanban teaches one lean thinking by constantly challenging assumptions about market behaviour and our own flexibility. Autonomation: In any contemporary setting, everyone uses either machines or software to do any work. Yet, this automated work still requires specific human judgments to be done right. As a result, many machines can't be left alone to work because they're likely to go wrong if someone doesn't watch them all the time. Autonomation is the practice of progressively imparting human judgement to a system so that it self monitors and stops and calls a human when it feels it went wrong, just as a desktop computer will flag a virus alert if it feels under attack. Autonomation is essential to separate people from machines and not have humans doing machine work and vice versa. Automation teaches lean thinking by revealing new ways of designing lighter, smarter machines with less capital expenditure. Andon: Calling out when something feels out of kilt and to visualize that call on central board so that help can come quickly. Lean thinking is thinking together and no employee should be left alone with a problem. Andon is a critical system to be able to train employees in the details of their jobs within their own operations. Andon teaches lean thinking in highlighting the immediate barriers to the lean goal of zero defect at every step of the process at all time. Through andon it is possible to think better about training people and improving their work conditions to take all difficulties away. SMED: Originally known as single minute exchange of die (changing tools under 10 minutes), SMED is a key lean thinking practice to focus directly on flexibility. Flexibility is central to flow and always a problem, even for an engineer's mind – how flexible is the group to move from one topic to the next? Flexibility doesn't mean changing everything all the time, but the ability to switch quickly from one known activity to the next. SMED teaches lean thinking in always seeking to improve flexibility until one reaches true single piece flow in the right sequence to respond to instant customer demand. Standardized work: Lean thinking is about seeking the smoothest flow in any work, in order to see problems one by one and resolve them one by one, thus improving both the flow of work and the autonomy of the person. Standardized work is the graphic description of this smooth flow of work at takt time with zero or one piece of work in process and clear location for everything and steps. Tricky quality points are also identified clearly, to make sure the person visualizes first, what is important for the customer, how to distinguish OK from not OK at every step and have to move confidently from one step to the next. Standardized work teaches lean thinking by visualizing every obstacle to smooth work each person encounters and highlighting topics for kaizen. Visualization: Most lean thinking techniques are about visualization in some form or other so that people can see together, know together and thus learn together. Visual control is the essential trigger to creative problem solving as all can see the gap between what was planned and what actually happened and can seek both immediate countermeasures and root causes. Visualization teaches lean thinking by getting people to work together on their own problems and develop their responsibility to reaching objectives without overburden.
Lean өзіндік зерттеу топтарына қосылып, kaizen-ді басқалармен бірге тәжірибеге түсіріп, қай үлгілерге еліктегісі келетінін анықтау. Lean қауымдастығы қазір бір буыннан асып, жаңадан бастағандарға да, тәжірибелі мамандарға да көптеген керемет үлгілер ұсынады. Тәжірибелі Lean ойлаушылармен жұмыс орнын аралау олардың мағынасын түсінудің ең тиімді жолдарының бірі болып табылады. Lean ойлау дәстүрінде мұғалім түсіндірмей, көрсетуі керек – оқу толығымен оқушының жауапкершілігінде. Дегенмен, оқу үшін қажетті жағдайларды жасау үшін Lean дәстүрі Toyota компаниясының оқу тәжірибесінен бірқатар тәжірибелерді қабылдады. Бұл тәжірибелердің мақсаты процестерді жақсарту емес, үйренуге және жаңа идеяларға жетелеу үшін жағдай жасау.
Experience shows that adopting lean thinking requires abandoning deeply engrained mainstream management thought routines, and this is never easy. The three main ways to adopt lean thinking are, unsurprisingly:
"Aha!" moments by seeing someone behave in a striking way, or hitting upon a new idea by reading a book, visiting a workplace, or being beaten over the head by an old time sensei. Aha! moments are powerful, but unfortunately rare, and need the right conditions to occur. Everyday practice by the daily use of "lean" practices. These practices mainly originate from Toyota and are essentially "think with your hand" exercises. Their purpose is not to implement new processes (as they are too often interpreted) but practical activities to lead one to see the situation differently and have new ideas about it – to adopt a leaner way of thinking. Joining lean self study groups by practising kaizen with others and identifying which role models one would like to follow. The lean community is now a generation strong and has many great examples to offer to any lean learner, whether beginner or experienced. Workplace visits with experienced lean thinkers remain one of the most effective ways to grasp their meaning. In the lean thinking tradition, the teacher should not explain but demonstrate – learning is the full responsibility of the learner.

Kaizen іс-шаралары: Кроссты функционалдық семинарлар, командалық сапа шеңберлері, жеке ұсыныстар және басқа да көптеген жаттығулар болсын, kaizen іс-шаралары жұмыс күнінің қалыпты уақытында жұмысты жақсарту үшін жоспарланған сәттер туралы. Kaizen-нің мәні – жақсарту жұмыс процесінің қалыпты бөлігі, "басқасын істегеннен кейін уақыт қалғанда" жасалатын нәрсе емес. Kaizen жоспарланады, жоспарластырылады және ұстаз бақылайды, ол Демингтің "жоспарлау-іске асыру-тексеру-әрекет ету" жоспарын қатаң түрде орындауын қадағалайды.

Kanban: Kanban – Lean ойлаудың негізгі тәжірибесі (Toyota өндірістік жүйесі алғаш рет Kanban жүйесі ретінде белгілі болған). Кез келген процестің нәтижесі әртүрлі болады. Мысалы, қазіргі уақытта жазушы кітаптар жазады, баяндамалар дайындайды, блог жазады, твиттер жазады және электрондық хаттарға жауап береді. Сұрақ мынада: дәл қазір, процесті қолданушы адам, ол клиенттерге қажетті нәрсені дәл қазір жасап жатыр ма, әлде маңызды емес нәрседе алға қарай жұмыс істеп, маңызды нәрседен қалып қойып отыр ма? Жобаларды басқаруда бұл жобаның басында сегменттердің алға қарай, соңында сегменттердің қалып қоюына және жоба аяқталуына байланысты паника тудырады. Өндірісте бұл қажетті заттарды қазірден-ақ өндіру мүмкіндігінен айыра алмайтын бүтін қоймаларды жасайды. Kanban – бұл карталарды немесе жазбаларды пайдаланып, процестегі "теңгерілген" (яғни шыңдар мен төмендіктерді болдырмау үшін орташаланған) белсенділікті бейнелеудің қарапайым әдісі. Жазушы жаңа кітапты бірін тапсырғаннан кейін бастайды. Ол жаңа конференцияны уақтылы өткізеді. Ол бірден бес, содан кейін бір, содан кейін тағы бес жазбаны жариялаудың орнына тұрақты түрде жазба жазады. Өндірісте Kanban карталары қызметкерлердің дәл қазір қажет нәрседе жұмыс істеп жатқанын және басқалары қол жетімді болмай, кейін қорда қалады. Kanban – бүгінгі күннің іс-әрекеті мен нарықтың мінез-құлқы арасындағы барлық сәйкессіздіктерді ашудың негізгі тәсілі. Kanban нарық мінез-құлқы мен біздің икемділігіміз туралы болжамдарға үнемі сын айту арқылы Lean ойлауға үйретеді.
Experience shows that adopting lean thinking requires abandoning deeply engrained mainstream management thought routines, and this is never easy. The three main ways to adopt lean thinking are, unsurprisingly:
"Aha!" moments by seeing someone behave in a striking way, or hitting upon a new idea by reading a book, visiting a workplace, or being beaten over the head by an old time sensei. Aha! moments are powerful, but unfortunately rare, and need the right conditions to occur. Everyday practice by the daily use of "lean" practices. These practices mainly originate from Toyota and are essentially "think with your hand" exercises. Their purpose is not to implement new processes (as they are too often interpreted) but practical activities to lead one to see the situation differently and have new ideas about it – to adopt a leaner way of thinking. Joining lean self study groups by practising kaizen with others and identifying which role models one would like to follow. The lean community is now a generation strong and has many great examples to offer to any lean learner, whether beginner or experienced. Workplace visits with experienced lean thinkers remain one of the most effective ways to grasp their meaning. In the lean thinking tradition, the teacher should not explain but demonstrate – learning is the full responsibility of the learner. However, to create the proper conditions for learning the lean tradition has adopted a number of practices from Toyota's own learning curve. The aim of these practices is not to improve processes per se but to create an environment for teachable and learnable moments. Kaizen activities: Whether cross functional workshops, team quality circles, individual suggestions, and many other exercises, kaizen activities are about scheduled moments to improve the work within the normal working day. The point of kaizen is that improvement is a normal part of the job, not something to be done "when there is time left after having done everything else". Kaizen is scheduled, planned, and controlled by a teacher who makes sure Deming's plan–do–check–act is followed rigorously. Kanban: Kanban is the foundational practice of lean thinking (the Toyota Production System used to be first known as the Kanban system). Any process will have different output. For instance, nowadays, a writer will produce books, keynote speeches, blog posts, tweets and answer e mails. The question is, at the present time right now, how can the person using the process know whether they are doing what is needed for customers right now or whether they are working ahead on something not that important and lagging behind on something critical. In project management, this creates segments ahead and segments late, and end of project panic. In production, this creates entire warehouses of inventories to compensate for the inability to produce right now what is needed. Kanban is a simple technique using cards or post it notes to visualize "leveled" (i. e. averaged to avoid peaks and troughs) activity at the process. The writer will start a new book when she's delivered one. She will worry about the new conference when it's time to. She will write a new blog post at a steady rhythm rather than publish five in a rush and then one and so on. In production, kanban cards make sure employees are working on what is needed right now and not overproducing parts which will then linger in inventory whilst others will be unavailable. Kanban is the main practice to reveal all misfits between today's activities and how the market behaves. Kanban teaches one lean thinking by constantly challenging assumptions about market behaviour and our own flexibility. Autonomation: In any contemporary setting, everyone uses either machines or software to do any work. Yet, this automated work still requires specific human judgments to be done right. As a result, many machines can't be left alone to work because they're likely to go wrong if someone doesn't watch them all the time. Autonomation is the practice of progressively imparting human judgement to a system so that it self monitors and stops and calls a human when it feels it went wrong, just as a desktop computer will flag a virus alert if it feels under attack. Autonomation is essential to separate people from machines and not have humans doing machine work and vice versa. Automation teaches lean thinking by revealing new ways of designing lighter, smarter machines with less capital expenditure. Andon: Calling out when something feels out of kilt and to visualize that call on central board so that help can come quickly. Lean thinking is thinking together and no employee should be left alone with a problem. Andon is a critical system to be able to train employees in the details of their jobs within their own operations. Andon teaches lean thinking in highlighting the immediate barriers to the lean goal of zero defect at every step of the process at all time. Through andon it is possible to think better about training people and improving their work conditions to take all difficulties away. SMED: Originally known as single minute exchange of die (changing tools under 10 minutes), SMED is a key lean thinking practice to focus directly on flexibility. Flexibility is central to flow and always a problem, even for an engineer's mind – how flexible is the group to move from one topic to the next? Flexibility doesn't mean changing everything all the time, but the ability to switch quickly from one known activity to the next. SMED teaches lean thinking in always seeking to improve flexibility until one reaches true single piece flow in the right sequence to respond to instant customer demand. Standardized work: Lean thinking is about seeking the smoothest flow in any work, in order to see problems one by one and resolve them one by one, thus improving both the flow of work and the autonomy of the person. Standardized work is the graphic description of this smooth flow of work at takt time with zero or one piece of work in process and clear location for everything and steps. Tricky quality points are also identified clearly, to make sure the person visualizes first, what is important for the customer, how to distinguish OK from not OK at every step and have to move confidently from one step to the next. Standardized work teaches lean thinking by visualizing every obstacle to smooth work each person encounters and highlighting topics for kaizen. Visualization: Most lean thinking techniques are about visualization in some form or other so that people can see together, know together and thus learn together. Visual control is the essential trigger to creative problem solving as all can see the gap between what was planned and what actually happened and can seek both immediate countermeasures and root causes. Visualization teaches lean thinking by getting people to work together on their own problems and develop their responsibility to reaching objectives without overburden.

Autonomation: Қазіргі уақытта кез келген адам кез келген жұмысты орындау үшін машиналарды немесе бағдарламалық жасақтаманы қолданады. Алайда, автоматтандырылған бұл жұмыс әлі де дұрыс орындалуы үшін нақты адамгершілік шешімдерді қажет етеді. Нәтижесінде көптеген машиналарды жұмыста жалғыз қалдыруға болмайды, өйткені егер оларды әрдайым бақылап отырмаса, олар бұзылуы мүмкін. Autonomation – бұл жүйеге адамның үкімін беру, ол өзін бақылап, қателік байқағанда тоқтап, адамды шақырады, дәл үстел компьютері шабуылға ұшырағанын сезінгенде вирустық ескертуді белгілейді. Autonomation адамдарды машиналардан бөлектеу үшін қажет, адамдар машинамен жұмыс істемеуі керек және керісінше. Автоматтандыру жеңілдетілген ойлауды үйретеді, ол кішігірім капиталды шығындармен жеңіл, ақылды машиналарды жасаудың жаңа тәсілдерін ашады.

However, to create the proper conditions for learning the lean tradition has adopted a number of practices from Toyota's own learning curve. The aim of these practices is not to improve processes per se but to create an environment for teachable and learnable moments. Kaizen activities: Whether cross functional workshops, team quality circles, individual suggestions, and many other exercises, kaizen activities are about scheduled moments to improve the work within the normal working day. The point of kaizen is that improvement is a normal part of the job, not something to be done "when there is time left after having done everything else". Kaizen is scheduled, planned, and controlled by a teacher who makes sure Deming's plan–do–check–act is followed rigorously. Kanban: Kanban is the foundational practice of lean thinking (the Toyota Production System used to be first known as the Kanban system). Any process will have different output. For instance, nowadays, a writer will produce books, keynote speeches, blog posts, tweets and answer e mails. The question is, at the present time right now, how can the person using the process know whether they are doing what is needed for customers right now or whether they are working ahead on something not that important and lagging behind on something critical. In project management, this creates segments ahead and segments late, and end of project panic. In production, this creates entire warehouses of inventories to compensate for the inability to produce right now what is needed. Kanban is a simple technique using cards or post it notes to visualize "leveled" (i. e. averaged to avoid peaks and troughs) activity at the process. The writer will start a new book when she's delivered one. She will worry about the new conference when it's time to. She will write a new blog post at a steady rhythm rather than publish five in a rush and then one and so on. In production, kanban cards make sure employees are working on what is needed right now and not overproducing parts which will then linger in inventory whilst others will be unavailable. Kanban is the main practice to reveal all misfits between today's activities and how the market behaves. Kanban teaches one lean thinking by constantly challenging assumptions about market behaviour and our own flexibility. Autonomation: In any contemporary setting, everyone uses either machines or software to do any work. Yet, this automated work still requires specific human judgments to be done right. As a result, many machines can't be left alone to work because they're likely to go wrong if someone doesn't watch them all the time. Autonomation is the practice of progressively imparting human judgement to a system so that it self monitors and stops and calls a human when it feels it went wrong, just as a desktop computer will flag a virus alert if it feels under attack. Autonomation is essential to separate people from machines and not have humans doing machine work and vice versa. Automation teaches lean thinking by revealing new ways of designing lighter, smarter machines with less capital expenditure. Andon: Calling out when something feels out of kilt and to visualize that call on central board so that help can come quickly. Lean thinking is thinking together and no employee should be left alone with a problem. Andon is a critical system to be able to train employees in the details of their jobs within their own operations. Andon teaches lean thinking in highlighting the immediate barriers to the lean goal of zero defect at every step of the process at all time. Through andon it is possible to think better about training people and improving their work conditions to take all difficulties away. SMED: Originally known as single minute exchange of die (changing tools under 10 minutes), SMED is a key lean thinking practice to focus directly on flexibility. Flexibility is central to flow and always a problem, even for an engineer's mind – how flexible is the group to move from one topic to the next? Flexibility doesn't mean changing everything all the time, but the ability to switch quickly from one known activity to the next. SMED teaches lean thinking in always seeking to improve flexibility until one reaches true single piece flow in the right sequence to respond to instant customer demand. Standardized work: Lean thinking is about seeking the smoothest flow in any work, in order to see problems one by one and resolve them one by one, thus improving both the flow of work and the autonomy of the person. Standardized work is the graphic description of this smooth flow of work at takt time with zero or one piece of work in process and clear location for everything and steps. Tricky quality points are also identified clearly, to make sure the person visualizes first, what is important for the customer, how to distinguish OK from not OK at every step and have to move confidently from one step to the next. Standardized work teaches lean thinking by visualizing every obstacle to smooth work each person encounters and highlighting topics for kaizen. Visualization: Most lean thinking techniques are about visualization in some form or other so that people can see together, know together and thus learn together. Visual control is the essential trigger to creative problem solving as all can see the gap between what was planned and what actually happened and can seek both immediate countermeasures and root causes. Visualization teaches lean thinking by getting people to work together on their own problems and develop their responsibility to reaching objectives without overburden.
SMED: Бастапқыда бір минуттық құрал алмасу (10 минуттан кем уақытта құралды ауыстыру) деп белгіленген SMED, Lean ойлаудың икемділікке тікелей назар аударатын маңызды тәжірибесі болып табылады. Икемділік ағынның орталық бөлігі және әрдайым проблема болып табылады, тіпті инженердің ойы үшін де – топ бір тақырыптан екіншісіне қаншалықты икемді? Икемділік – барлық нәрсені әрдайым өзгертуді білдірмейді, бірақ бір белгілі іс-әрекеттен екіншісіне жылдам ауысу қабілеті. SMED Lean ойлауды икемділікті жақсартуға жұмыстану арқылы үйретеді, сонда нарық сұранысына жылдам жауап беру үшін дұрыс ретпен толық ағынға қол жеткізіледі.
Experience shows that adopting lean thinking requires abandoning deeply engrained mainstream management thought routines, and this is never easy. The three main ways to adopt lean thinking are, unsurprisingly:
"Aha!" moments by seeing someone behave in a striking way, or hitting upon a new idea by reading a book, visiting a workplace, or being beaten over the head by an old time sensei. Aha! moments are powerful, but unfortunately rare, and need the right conditions to occur. Everyday practice by the daily use of "lean" practices. These practices mainly originate from Toyota and are essentially "think with your hand" exercises. Their purpose is not to implement new processes (as they are too often interpreted) but practical activities to lead one to see the situation differently and have new ideas about it – to adopt a leaner way of thinking. Joining lean self study groups by practising kaizen with others and identifying which role models one would like to follow. The lean community is now a generation strong and has many great examples to offer to any lean learner, whether beginner or experienced.

The question is, at the present time right now, how can the person using the process know whether they are doing what is needed for customers right now or whether they are working ahead on something not that important and lagging behind on something critical. In project management, this creates segments ahead and segments late, and end of project panic. In production, this creates entire warehouses of inventories to compensate for the inability to produce right now what is needed. Kanban is a simple technique using cards or post it notes to visualize "leveled" (i. e. averaged to avoid peaks and troughs) activity at the process. The writer will start a new book when she's delivered one. She will worry about the new conference when it's time to. She will write a new blog post at a steady rhythm rather than publish five in a rush and then one and so on. In production, kanban cards make sure employees are working on what is needed right now and not overproducing parts which will then linger in inventory whilst others will be unavailable. Kanban is the main practice to reveal all misfits between today's activities and how the market behaves. Kanban teaches one lean thinking by constantly challenging assumptions about market behaviour and our own flexibility. Autonomation: In any contemporary setting, everyone uses either machines or software to do any work. Yet, this automated work still requires specific human judgments to be done right. As a result, many machines can't be left alone to work because they're likely to go wrong if someone doesn't watch them all the time. Autonomation is the practice of progressively imparting human judgement to a system so that it self monitors and stops and calls a human when it feels it went wrong, just as a desktop computer will flag a virus alert if it feels under attack. Autonomation is essential to separate people from machines and not have humans doing machine work and vice versa. Automation teaches lean thinking by revealing new ways of designing lighter, smarter machines with less capital expenditure. Andon: Calling out when something feels out of kilt and to visualize that call on central board so that help can come quickly. Lean thinking is thinking together and no employee should be left alone with a problem. Andon is a critical system to be able to train employees in the details of their jobs within their own operations. Andon teaches lean thinking in highlighting the immediate barriers to the lean goal of zero defect at every step of the process at all time. Through andon it is possible to think better about training people and improving their work conditions to take all difficulties away. SMED: Originally known as single minute exchange of die (changing tools under 10 minutes), SMED is a key lean thinking practice to focus directly on flexibility. Flexibility is central to flow and always a problem, even for an engineer's mind – how flexible is the group to move from one topic to the next? Flexibility doesn't mean changing everything all the time, but the ability to switch quickly from one known activity to the next. SMED teaches lean thinking in always seeking to improve flexibility until one reaches true single piece flow in the right sequence to respond to instant customer demand. Standardized work: Lean thinking is about seeking the smoothest flow in any work, in order to see problems one by one and resolve them one by one, thus improving both the flow of work and the autonomy of the person. Standardized work is the graphic description of this smooth flow of work at takt time with zero or one piece of work in process and clear location for everything and steps. Tricky quality points are also identified clearly, to make sure the person visualizes first, what is important for the customer, how to distinguish OK from not OK at every step and have to move confidently from one step to the next. Standardized work teaches lean thinking by visualizing every obstacle to smooth work each person encounters and highlighting topics for kaizen. Visualization: Most lean thinking techniques are about visualization in some form or other so that people can see together, know together and thus learn together. Visual control is the essential trigger to creative problem solving as all can see the gap between what was planned and what actually happened and can seek both immediate countermeasures and root causes. Visualization teaches lean thinking by getting people to work together on their own problems and develop their responsibility to reaching objectives without overburden.
"Aha!" moments by seeing someone behave in a striking way, or hitting upon a new idea by reading a book, visiting a workplace, or being beaten over the head by an old time sensei. Aha! moments are powerful, but unfortunately rare, and need the right conditions to occur. Everyday practice by the daily use of "lean" practices. These practices mainly originate from Toyota and are essentially "think with your hand" exercises. Their purpose is not to implement new processes (as they are too often interpreted) but practical activities to lead one to see the situation differently and have new ideas about it – to adopt a leaner way of thinking. Joining lean self study groups by practising kaizen with others and identifying which role models one would like to follow. The lean community is now a generation strong and has many great examples to offer to any lean learner, whether beginner or experienced. Workplace visits with experienced lean thinkers remain one of the most effective ways to grasp their meaning. In the lean thinking tradition, the teacher should not explain but demonstrate – learning is the full responsibility of the learner. However, to create the proper conditions for learning the lean tradition has adopted a number of practices from Toyota's own learning curve. The aim of these practices is not to improve processes per se but to create an environment for teachable and learnable moments. Kaizen activities: Whether cross functional workshops, team quality circles, individual suggestions, and many other exercises, kaizen activities are about scheduled moments to improve the work within the normal working day. The point of kaizen is that improvement is a normal part of the job, not something to be done "when there is time left after having done everything else". Kaizen is scheduled, planned, and controlled by a teacher who makes sure Deming's plan–do–check–act is followed rigorously.

Даулар
"Lean" сөзіне қатысты екі дау бар, бірі – халық арасындағы "lean" бейнесіне, екіншісі – "lean" қозғалысының өзінде. "Lean" бірнеше рет Тейлоризмнің бір түрі деп айыпталды, ол жұмыскерлердің денсаулығы мен жұмыстағы тәуелсіздігіне зиян келтіретін өнімділік қысымын күшейтеді. Өкінішке орай, өздерін "lean" деп атаған кейбір компаниялардың бағдарламалары бизнестің және еңбек қатынастарының нашарлауына себеп болды. Бұл мәселе басшылар "lean" ойлауды қабылдауға тырыспағанда, оның орнына процестерді "lean" ету жұмысын сыртқы кеңесшілерге немесе ішкі мамандар тобына жүктегенде туындайды. "Lean" ойлау шығындарды азайтуға – қажетсіз шығындардың себептерін анықтап, оларды бастапқы көзінен жоюға бағытталғандығын нақты айтады, ал шығындарды қысқарту – адамдарды төмендетілген жағдайларда және азайтылған бюджеттерде жұмыс істеуге мәжбүрлеу арқылы жол-жол артықшылыққа қол жеткізу емес. Бұл сөзсіз, бірақ көптеген менеджерлер үшін соңғы нұсқа бұрынғысынан гөрі тиімдірек, сондықтан "lean" бағдарламасын шығындарды қысқарту бағдарламасы деп атау оңай. Дегенмен, бұл солай емес, және егер бағдарламаның мақсаты әрбір қызметкерде "lean" ойлауды дамыту болмаса, онда оны "lean" деп санауға болмайды.
There are two controversies surrounding the word “lean,” one concerning the image of lean with the general public and the other within the lean movement itself. Lean has repeatedly been accused of being a form of turbo charged Taylorism, the harbinger of productivity pressure, detrimental to employee's health and autonomy at work. Unfortunately, some company programs calling themselves “lean” have indeed had a severely negative effect on the business and work relations. This problem arises when senior leaders do not seek to adopt lean thinking but instead delegate to outside consultants or internal specialist team the job of “leaning” processes. Lean thinking very clearly states that it seeks cost reductions – finding the policy origins of unnecessary costs and eliminating at the cause – and not cost cutting – forcing people to work within reduced budgets and degraded conditions in order to achieve line by line cost advantage. There is no doubt about this, but to many managers, the latter option is far more expedient than the former and it's easy to call “lean” a cost cutting program. Nonetheless, this is not that, and any approach that doesn't have the explicit aim to develop lean thinking in every employee should not be considered to be "lean".
Адамдарды бірінші орынға қою
Бұл даулар көбінесе Lean ойлау ұсынған радикалды ұйымдық инновациялардың нәтижесінде туындайды: жүйелер емес, адамдарды басты орынға қою. Осы тұрғыда, Lean ойлау дәстүрлі басқарудан ерекшеленеді: жеке клиенттер, нарық сегменттері емес: сегменттерді ескеретін қажеттілікке қарамастан, Lean ойлау әрбір клиенттің өнім немесе қызмет туралы айтқан шағымдарын мен пікірлерін факт ретінде қабылдауға баса назар береді. Кез келген клиентке жеке қызмет көрсету мүмкіндігі тек компания процесінің икемділігімен шектеледі, ал Lean ойлау әр адамның қалауына сай қызмет көрсету идеалына жетудің жолдарын іздеуге бағытталған. Қызметкерлерге не істеу керектігін айтудың орнына, оларды үйренуге баулу: Lean ойлаудың мақсаты – әр адамның проблемаларды шешудегі дербестігін дамыту, оларды үздіксіз жетілдіру шараларында қолдау көрсету. Бұл – мамандар тобының «ең тиімді жолды» анықтап, оны желілік басқару арқылы іске асыруды көздейтін Тейлорлықтан түбегейлі айырмашылық. Керісінше, Lean ойлау менеджерлерге олардың тікелей бағыныстыларына Lean ойлауды үйретуге, командаларымен тығыз жұмыс істеу және функционалдық шекараларды ескере отырып, артық жүктемелерді, қажетсіз өзгерістерді және пайдасыз іс-әрекеттерді азайтуға көмектесу үшін үйретіледі. Жоғары деңгейдегі Lean ойлау нәтижесінде өнімді кәсіпорындар құрылады, себебі жоғары сапалы өнімдер мен қызметтерге клиенттердің қанағаттануы арқасында сату көбейеді, икемділік арқасында қоймалар мен өңделмеген тапсырыстарға қажеттілік азайып, қолма-қол ақша айналымы жақсарады, құн қосылған деңгейдегі ысырапты тудыратын қымбат саясатты анықтау арқылы шығындар төмендейді және адамдардың өзі ақылды, өнімді процестерді ойлап табуының арқасында капиталдық шығындар азаяды.
These controversies largely emerge around the radical organizational innovation proposed by lean thinking: putting people first rather than systems. In this, lean thinking departs markedly from mainstream management:
Individual customers rather than market segments: Without denying the need to think in terms of segments, lean thinking is about taking seriously every single customer complaint and opinion of the product or service, as a fact. The ability to service every customer specifically is only limited by the flexibility of the company's process and lean thinking is about seeking a way to reach the ideal of serving each individual's preferences. Teaching employees how to learn rather than telling them what to do: Lean thinking's aim is to develop each person's autonomy in problem solving by supporting them in their continuous improvement activities. This is a radical break from Taylorism where a group of specialists will devise the “one best way” and line management will be tasked to enforce it. By contrast, lean thinking is taught to managers so that they help their own direct reports to think lean and reduce overburden, unneeded variation and activity waste by working more closely with their teams and across functional boundaries. Lean thinking at senior level creates leaner enterprises because sales increase through customer satisfaction with higher quality products or services, because cash improve as flexibility reduces the need for inventories or backlogs, because costs reduce through identifying costly policies that create waste at value adding level, and because capital expenditure is less needed as people themselves invent smarter, leaner processes to flow work continuously at takt time without waste.

Жасыл және жұқа
Жүйелі ойлау бизнестің пайдалылығын жақсартудан да артық. "Табиғи капитализм" кітабында Пол Хоукен, Амори Ловинс және Л. Хантер Ловинс жүйелі ойлауды қоршаған ортаға аз зиян келтіре отырып, өсімді қамтамасыз етудің жолы деп көрсетеді. Мұра (артық жүктеме), мура (теңсіздік) және муда (қажетсіз ресурстарды пайдалану) түріндегі ысырапты жоюға бағытталған жүйелі ойлау тәсілі – күрделі мәселелерді нақты іс-қимылдар арқылы кезең-кезеңмен шешудің тиімді әдісі болып сабытталған. Toyota өндіріс орындары тұрақты дамуға үлкен мән береді және "қоқыссыз полигон" мақсатына жетіп, барлық қалдықтарды орындарында қайта өңдейді. Жүйелі ойлауды қолдану дәстүрлі тауарлар мен қызметтерді өндіруге жаңа көзқараспен қарауға және қаржылық және экологиялық тұрғыдан төмен шығындармен бірдей пайданы қалай сақтауға болатынын үйренуге мүмкіндік береді.
Lean thinking goes beyond improving business profitability. In their book Natural Capitalism, authors Paul Hawken, Amory Lovins and L. Hunter Lovins reference lean thinking as a way to sustain growth with less collateral damage to the environment. Lean thinking's approach, seeking to eliminate waste in the form of muri (overburden), mura (unlevelness) and muda (unnecessary resource use), is a proven practical way to attack complex problems piece by piece through concrete action. Toyota industrial sites are well known for their sustainability efforts and well ahead of the "zero landfill" goal – all waste recycled within the site. Practising lean thinking offers a radically new way to look at traditional goods and service production to learn how to sustain the same benefits at a lower cost, financially and environmentally.
