Improvement Journey of OC 10

In this episode of the Shingo Principles Podcast, we hear from Ken Snyder, Executive Director of the Shingo Institute as he shares insights from Shigeo Shingo. Dr. Shingo said, “Production is a network of process and operations,” and leaders need to separate operations from the process. In this case, it is necessary to have a proper understanding of the distinction between “process” and “operations.” 

Key topics covered in this podcast include how the benefits of focusing on process first before focusing on operations are:

• Much lower cost of capital
• Much higher productivity rates
• Much faster time to market
• Lower inventory carrying costs
• Lower labor costs and
• Lower training costs
