Once a Toyota, always a ____________. The machine that changed the world is not really a machine, it is the imperfect people that made up the company with culture of continuous improvement and respect for people. Toyota Way is a culture that molded Toyota Talents, Talents that commit errors but given opportunities to improve them. Even if you remove the talents if the culture is intact, you will be producing more talents that were embedded with the culture (of continuous improvement and respect for people -for Toyota). Mold your culture, mold your people to that culture, the results will follow. #toyota #toyotaway #toyotaculture #toyotatalents

An Incredible 2 Day Mini-Bus Tour Visit to Ford's Brownstown Parts Complex and the National Parts Distribution Center in Livonia Michigan The Ford Production System Team (FPS) spent two incredible days touring and evaluating Ford's magnificent Brownstown Parts Complex and The National Distribution Center. Both of these facilities are unique to Ford. The Brownstown Parts Complex is 3.1 million Square Feet and has been recognized for its efficiency by the Ducker Carlisle (Global Consulting Firm). The National Parts Distribution Center is the Birthplace and the Cemetery for Service Parts. There is no other facility like it in the world. An incredible amount of revenue is generated from these facilities. Rima Jasser (Global FPS Lean 6-Sigma) set up the initial consultation with Ted Canis (Ford Pro CEO) and Michele DeTombeur (Global Director of Parts Supply). They discussed the purpose and laid the foundation for the 2-day event. The 2-day event was attended by Theron McGee (North America FPS Lean 6-Sigma Manager), William Harmych (Global Maintenance Strategist), Volkan Okutkan (Global Strategist), and Jonathan McRae (Global Strategist). The first task on the team's agenda was to review all of the Best Practices from the incredible facilities and look for replication opportunities throughout Ford. The 2nd task was for the FPS Team to review the incredible facilities using a Lean Lens (pursuit of waste elimination). Using a Lean Lens the FPS Team was able to gather information to optimize both facilities using Innovation and Principles of Lean. We had the privilege of interviewing employees from both facilities. We asked, what could we do to make your job better? Tara White provided feedback that will enable Service Parts to get binned correctly. This eliminates waste by reducing wait time and the Service Parts can get to the dealer quicker. The suggestions from the other employees were just as outstanding as Tara's. The FPS Team would like to thank the following Team Members that aided us on our incredible Mini-Bus Tour. Erhan Yengulalp (Director of Distribution Logistics), Rick McGrath (Plant Manager NPD), and Eric Stemmer (NPD Manager), and Brent Osterland (Director of Packaging Operations). A special thanks to Ted Canis, Bryce Currie, and Rima Jasser for the opportunity to review these fantastic facilities through a Lean Lens. #RimaJasser #BryceCurrie #TedCanis #VolkanOkutkan #JonathanMcRae #WilliamHarmych #ErhanYengulalp
