That is reality today. Am I wrong? Chad:  No, you are exactly right. That is why I caution people that are in the Lean community or in the TOC community to understand that the solution is not inward facing. It is outward facing. It is the interface or the integration between linkages in the supply chain and that commonly occurs from the manufacture to distributor or manufacture to customer and then manufacture back to all its suppliers. And let’s face it. Let’s be real here. Global capacity is exceeding global demand right now. So looking for better scheduling techniques inside of four walls, instead of looking for better synchronization techniques across a supply chain or a product structure. In my opinion, is the wrong way to go. There is a prerequisite order here to getting better. The prerequisite order is…listen to the podcast Chad Smith is the co-founder and Managing Partner of Constraints Management Group (CMG), a services and technology company specializing in pull-based manufacturing, materials and project management systems for mid-range and large manufacturers.

Dr. Reldan, "Relly," Nadler was my guest on the Business901 Podcast. Our talked centered on leadership and developing the state of mind for making effective decisions. It is interesting what I learned about our mental models and as a result our everyday decisions. Dr. Nadler is a leading psychologist and Executive Coach focusing on developing and providing cutting edge Emotional Intelligence tools and strategies for CEO's, Executives, leaders, managers and their organizations and teams.  His company, True North Leadership, recognizes and addresses the challenges leaders face today: Problems: The USA lost 8.4 million jobs from 2007 to 2009. 40% of the American workforce will be eligible for retirement in 2010.  Leaders have to contend with a projected shortfall of 10 million workers in the next few years. The Baby Boomer generation that is retiring has a higher Emotional Intelligence than Generation X and Y people who are coming into leadership positions.  This is due to their time utilizing technology rather than face-to-face interaction with others. Developing leadership bench strength has been a priority for organizations for the last 4 years. His newest book, Leading with Emotional Intelligence, gives hands-on solutions to these problems and more. After working with over 15,000 leaders over 30 years, Dr. Nadler has distilled some of his best advice and tips.  After Daniel Goleman sold 5 million copies of Emotional Intelligence, readers and leaders have been looking for hard-hitting ways to raise their Emotional Intelligence and the people they lead.

Can you really add value or are you just creating another tool to fill out some more paperwork? On the Business901 podcast. Jamie Flinchbaugh the co-author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to Lean: Lessons from the Road answered this and a few more questions such as: What is a control point? What is control point standardization? How does standard work apply in an environment as dynamic as managing? How does the automation and systems environment change the idea of control points and managing your environment? How should this change? What should drive changes? When we decided to discuss this subject, I have to admit there was a few reservations on my part. I considered a control point very much like a tollgate in Six Sigma. There are similarities but I received another learning experience from one of the leading lean thought leaders. Jamie Flinchbaugh is co-founder and partner of the Lean Learning Center, and bring successful and varied experiences of lean transformation as both a practitioner and facilitator. Under the leadership of Jamie and the Center’s senior managers, the Lean Learning Center has become one of the most recognized and premier lean providers in the world. The Lean Learning Center’s clients include Harley-Davidson, Land O Lakes, Intel, Simmons Foods, ZF and Guidant including their Industry Week’s Best Plant winner among many other world-class companies.
