Model: values, principles, methods, tools & activities

values

how we should be, regardless of situation or context

Quote: values guide how we should act

principles

how we should make decisions, what we should prioritize

eg. just in time: creating flow

eg. Model: jidoka: see the whole picture all the time

just in time + jidoka = anything disturbing flow can be identified

methods:

how we should perform different tasks

eg. standardization: method to develop other methods "standardization is a standard for establishing standards"

eg. visual planning: visualizing and continually update all of the relevant information concerning the business

eg. blow the whistle: as soon a something unexpected happens, blow the whistle, everyone stops, find the root cause, improve, then continue (Quote: jidoka "is" the whistle)

tools & activities: what we need to have & what we need to do

Metaphor: a company is like a tree
