E04: Laws of System Optimization, Part 2

Continuous Improvement Journey Podcast

For episode 4 of Continuous Improvement Journey’s podcast, we will pick up where we left off in part one of episode 3 where we explored a high-level view of the Laws of System Optimization.

We will continue part 2 in covering laws 4 through 13. I hope that these 13 laws will become additional tools to refine and take us to the next level from our traditional lean manufacturing training.

As a refresher, or if you missed episode 3, the following are each of the Laws of System Optimization.

1. The law of variation.
2. The law of operational and process wastes.
3. The law of WIP (work in process) and process flow.
4. The law of inventory optimization.
5. The law of supplier relations.
6. The law of customer relations.
7. The law of employee relations.
8. The law of design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA).
9. The law of tolerances and total costs.
10. The law of employee training (TWI or training within industry).
11. The law of standard work.
12. The law of quality.
13. The law of resistance to change.
