The Lean Approach Lean was originally developed as a manufacturing concept and, as such, is often referred to as lean manufacturing. However, as has happened with so many quality management–related concepts, the service ­sector—impressed with the results enjoyed by lean manufacturing practitioners—began to adopt and adapt the concept to this sector. Consequently, we use the term Lean in this book to convey that the concept can be applied with good ­results in the manufacturing and service sectors. The purpose of adopting Lean as a business improvement method is to produce better products or deliver better services using fewer resources. If the concept had a motto, it would be this: doing more with less and doing it better. Lean Defined Lean as a concept is based on the Just-In-Time Toyota Production System (TPS) developed at Toyota Motor Corporation by Japanese quality pioneer Taiichi Ohno. Ohno’s work incorporated the earlier work of Sakichi Toyoda and Kiichiro Toyoda, the latter being the founder of Toyota Motor Corporation. Lean is a somewhat generic version of the TPS.24 A Lean operation is one in which a better product is developed, or a better service is delivered using less of everything…

Initially, America was characterized by various political, social and economic problems which majority of them were passed from the colonial period. The whites and the blacks fought together to liberate their country from all the injustices perpetrated by the British colonists. However, everything turned against the wishes of the black because a few years after independence, their contribution towards American liberation had been forgotten. Most celebrations organized to commemorate American liberation did not recognize the efforts of the people of colour towards the country’s independence. Despite being free from the colonial rule, they remained under the chains of their fellow citizens. Their contribution in political, economic, scientific and technology fields remained unrecognized for many years. They were subjected to all forms of maltreatment such as discrimination in all fields such as employment, education and politics. Such unfairness hardened the blacks’ and other disadvantaged groups’ lives, and this necessitated their second liberation journey which has enhanced the quality of life for…

With formal ethics policies and procedures, an organization establishes its ethical standards and policies’ internal statements. Under these policies, an organization establishes its reporting instructions, disciplinary procedures and penalties one can expect for ethical violations. The policy purpose is ensuring an organization establishes a solid base for an ethical culture. With the second front of core ideology, an organization designates its “purpose, guiding principles, the basic idea, and most important values. Without a purpose, an organization merely treads water with no apparent path to follow. An ideology essentially states why an organization exists. Concerning integrity, this concept is the same as it applies to individual integrity. An organization cannot hope to enable individuals’ integrity when it does not embody an environment of integrity itself. The structural reinforcement states that an organization can instill a structure supporting ethical performance while mitigating unethical performance(Hughes, 2019). This can apply to…
