Grappa Bonollo. In Sunday I enjoyed the open day and visited the production plant in Padova, Italy. There are a lot of things I didn't know, especially about the circular economy of grapes. Great job, Bonollo's family!

Manufacturing: Push vs. Pull. Push = Overproduction, excess inventory. 📉 Pull = Demand-driven, just-in-time production. ✅ Optimize your factory flow. #Lean #Manufacturing #PullSystem

Multitasking is a myth. True productivity comes from uninterrupted "flow." Stop-start work kills efficiency. Protect your focus. #Lean #Flow #Productivity #kaizen

Your product's journey from idea to customer is its value stream. Map it or drown in hidden waste. What's your biggest process bottleneck? #Lean #ValueStream #Process

Often, we talk about AI and Lean Manufacturing as separate disciplines, sometimes even in opposition. But what if we shifted our perspective? At their core, both share a profound, human-centric goal: to reduce unnecessary effort (the 'useless work') and enable people to focus on more meaningful, high-value activities. AI isn't here to replace the wisdom of Kaizen; it's here to amplify it. Imagine AI-powered predictive maintenance eliminating unexpected downtime, freeing up skilled technicians for proactive improvements. Or AI-driven quality control catching anomalies instantly, allowing our teams to innovate rather than just inspect. Think of AI agents automating lead generation and qualification, liberating sales teams from tedious manual searches to focus on building relationships and closing deals. This doesn't even come close to describing a cold, automated future. On the contrary, it's an intelligent future, where we leverage the tools at our disposal to eliminate the mundane, the repetitive, and the 'muda', so that human talent can truly emerge – solving complex problems, driving innovation, and creating more value. It's about making work smarter, safer, and more rewarding. What opportunities are there to implement AI and Lean in your industry? #AI #LeanManufacturing #FutureOfWork

AI is a 'muda'-killer. It's a tool to amplify Kaizen, not replace it. Stop the AI vs. Lean debate. It's a false dichotomy. The real goal is to free human potential from useless work. #AI #Lean #Kaizen #FutureOfWork

I summarize the events related to Deloitte-AI "scandal": 1. December 2024: The Australian Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR) commissions Deloitte to analyze the IT system for welfare recipient sanctions. 2. July 2025: Deloitte publishes the final report, costing AUD 440,000, which contains several errors, including non-existent citations and references. 3. Shortly after publication: Christopher Rudge, an academic from the University of Sydney (and thus not part of DEWR), identifies the anomalies and points out the AI "hallucinations" presented in the document. This is a 𝗻𝗼𝗻-𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆: 𝘢 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘦-𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯 (𝘐𝙽𝙰𝙲𝙲𝚄𝚁𝙰𝚃𝙴) 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥. It's been happening for centuries. 😅 It's a good reminder that an ounce of practice is worth a ton of theory. #deloitte #consultancy

IS YOUR STANDARD WORK GATHERING DUST? 😱 We've all seen it: the beautifully crafted standard work document, sitting on a shelf, ignored. This is the 'Standard Work That Isn't Standard' problem. 👻 Standard work isn't a one-time project. It's a living, breathing process ❤️ created and updated by the people who do the work. Standards imposed from above, without team involvement, are doomed to fail. 📉 I worked with a company struggling with this. High defects, old standard work. We went to the Gemba 🚶‍♂️, talked to operators. Standards were outdated, didn't reflect reality. So, we threw out old documents 🗑️ and started fresh. Worked with operators to create new, visual standards 🎨, easy to understand and follow. Put them right where the work happened, not on a shelf. 📍 Then, identified who is responsible to maintain Standard Work Result? Significant defect reduction 👇, more engaged workforce 💪, and a culture of continuous improvement. Everyone felt empowered. ✨ Don't let your standard work become a relic. Involve your team, make it visual, and bring it to life! 🚀 Have you seen 'Standard Work That Isn't Standard'?

Are you enabling innovation or becoming a roadblock to progress? Resistance to new tech isn't just a hurdle—it's a destructive force. I've seen it cripple organizations. Two examples: 1️⃣ The Anti-AI Boss: Dismisses employees' attempts to use AI. Result: Frustration, stagnation, and a loss of competitiveness as rivals accelerate. 2️⃣ The Anti-Automation Manager: Blocks robots on the factory floor. Result: Workers suffer preventable injuries, morale plummets, and costs increase. Resisting innovation isn't just missing out. It's actively harming your people and your bottom line. It's time to ask: Are you fostering a culture of innovation, or are you clinging to the past at the expense of your future? #Innovation #Leadership #FutureOfWork #AI #Automation #ChangeManagement #DigitalTransformation #Lean
