Sample text
On the other hand, looking at what happened last hour, last pitch, or even better, last takt cycle, gives the chance to recover from an abnormal or nonstandard condition. But, that is only true if trained eyes (like a team leader’s) are there to see the abnormality; the pertinent processes are well defined, clearly documented, and operating in a stable environment; and resources are available to respond in real real time. That is, someone must be available right there, to respond right now! Further, this means focusing on the process as it operates from beginning to end, not only at the completed component or finished goods end.
In a process operation, assuming good control of incoming material, the problems are much more likely to be related to the process assets. In the battery plant, the high speed inserting, filling, or sealing equipment might have gone out of adjustment or broken down. In the steel mill, the shroud may have misaligned, exposing the melt to the contaminating atmosphere as it was being poured into the continuous casting operation. Either problem would result in defective product being produced, though the defect might not be detected until the finished goods stage, or worse, by the customer.

You need it because lean is so different from what you have done before. Many of the habits in your organization, as well as your own, are likely to be incompatible with an effectively functioning lean production environment.
