    There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.

    Peter F. Drucker

    Continuous improvement is not about the things you do well — that’s work. Continuous improvement is about removing the things that get in the way of your work. The headaches, the things that slow you down, that’s what continuous improvement is all about.

    Bruce Hamilton

    A corporation is a living organism; it has to continue to shed its skin. Methods have to change. Focus has to change. Values have to change. The sum total of those changes is transformation.

    Andrew Grove

    If you need a new process and don’t install it, you pay for it without getting it.

    Ken Stork

    Without a Standard, there is no logical basis for decision making or taking action

    Joseph M. Juran

    Don’t water your weeds.

    Harvey McKay

    Willful waste brings woeful want.

    Thomas Fuller

    Lean Thinking provides a way to specify value, line up value-creating actions in the best sequence, conduct these activities without interruption whenever someone requests them, and perform them more and more effectively.

    Lean Thinking, James P. Womack

    If you always do what you always did, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.

    Henry Ford

    Improvement usually means doing something that we have never done before.

    Shigeo Shingo

    Why not make the work easier and more interesting so that people do not have to sweat?  The Toyota style is not to create results by working hard. It is a system that says there is no limit to people’s creativity.  People don’t go to Toyota to ‘work’ they go there to ‘think’

    Taiichi Ohno

    Everything can be improved.

    Clarence W. Barron

    All kinds of wastes occur when we try to produce the same product in large, homogeneous quantities. In the end, costs rise. It is much more economical to make each item one at a time. The former method is the Ford production system and the latter is the Toyota production system.

    Taiichi Ohno; Toyota Production System: Beyond Large-Scale Production.

    The most dangerous kind of waste is the waste we do not recognize.

    Shigeo Shingo

    There are many experts on how things have been done up to now. If you think something could use a little improvement, you are the expert.

    Robert Brault

    Measurement is the first step that leads to control and eventually to improvement. If you can’t measure something, you can’t understand it. If you can’t understand it, you can’t control it. If you can’t control it, you can’t improve it.

    H. James Harrington,  Author & Management Mentor

    Continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection.

    Mark Twain

    Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.

    William Bruce Cameron

    If you do not know how to ask the right question, you discover nothing.

    W. Edwards Deming

    Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is Success.

    Henry Ford

    Nature does constant value stream mapping — it’s called evolution.

    Carrie Latet

    Time waste differs from material waste in that there can be no salvage. The easiest of all wastes and the hardest to correct is the waste of time, because wasted time does not litter the floor like wasted material.

    Henry Ford

    If you can’t describe what you are doing as a process, you don’t know what you’re doing.

    W. Edwards Deming

    We cannot become what we want to be by remaining what we are.

    Max DePree

    If you don’t know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else.

    Jack Welch, Chairman and CEO of General Electric between 1981 and 2001

    Practice isn’t the thing you do once you’re good. It’s the thing you do that makes you good.

    Malcolm Gladwell

    It is not the employer who pays the wages. He only handles the money. It is the product that pays the wages.

    Henry Ford

    The time is coming when every person who lays claim to ability will keep the question of waste before him constantly. The scope of thrift is limitless.

    Thomas A. Edison

    If you define the problem correctly, you almost have the solution.

    Steve Jobs

    Don’t waste time learning the ‘tricks of the trade.’ Instead, learn the trade.

    James Charlton

    The lean producer . . . combines the advantages of craft and mass production, while avoiding the high cost of the former and the rigidity of the latter. . . . Lean production is “lean” because it uses less of everything compared with mass production—half the human effort in the factory, half the manufacturing space, half the investment in tools, half the engineering hours to develop a new product in half the time.

    James Womack, The Machine That Changed the World

    Perfection is not attainable. But if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.

    Vince Lombardi

    An environment where people have to think brings with it wisdom, and this wisdom brings with it kaizen [continuous improvement].

    Teruyuki Minoura

    Many good American companies have respect for individuals, and practice Kaizen and other TPS {Toyota Production System} tools.  But what is important is having all of the elements together as a system.  It must be practiced every day in a very consistent manner–not in spurts–in a concrete way on the shop floor.

    Fujio Cho, President, Toyota Motor Corporation

    Who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery.

    Harold Wilson

    Masaaki Imai

    Great companies will have strong lean vision in place with the Senior Management Vision and are working daily at getting on with doing a small number of important things consistently – day in, day out, week after week, month after month, year after year, as part of the middle management action plans. And finally the results must be visible at the Shop floor level.  That is what make for effective lean leadership within companies.

    TXM, Total Excellence Manufacturing

    Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

    William A. Foster

    There are three kinds of leaders.  Those that tell you what to do.  Those that allow you to do what you want.  And Lean leaders that come down to the work and help you figure it out.

    John Shook

    Running Lean is a systematic process for iterating from Plan A to a plan that works, before running out of resources.

    Ash Maurya

    Copying your competitor won’t help you beat your competitor. You need to think beyond your competitor.

    Gerhard Plenert and Bill Kirchmier

    The most effective way to improve productivity is to eliminate work.

    William E. Conway Jr.

    Speed is Everything. It is the indispensable ingredient to competitiveness.

    Jack Welch

    Quality depends on good data. It also depends on executive leadership in using that data.

    Shigeo Shingo, Non-Stock Production: The Shingo System of Continuous Improvement, 1987

    The Toyota style is not to create results by working hard. It is a system that says there is no limit to people’s creativity. People don’t go to Toyota to ‘work’ they go there to ‘think’.

    Taiichi Ohno

    Your lean process should be a lean process.

    Author unknown

    Ernie Smith, Lean Event Facilitator in the Lean Enterprise Forum at the University of Tennessee

    Progress is impossible without change; and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.

    George Bernard Shaw

    Some of our greatest industrial organizations have learned their A, B, C’sin waste elimination and have found themselves well repaid, but they are still at the beginning, and the time is coming when every man who lays any claim to business ability will have to keep the question of waste before him constantly as now he does those of credit and collections, buying and selling.

    Thomas A. Edison, as quoted in Business and The Book-Keeper, 1911

    Plans are nothing, planning is everything.
