</p> <p>Paul Akers Participates in the Morning Meeting at MKS Israel</p> <p>As part of implenting a culture of Lean and continuous improvement at FastCap</p> <p>The entire workforce meets every day at the Morning Meeting</p> <p>At MKS Israel, as part of implementing a Lean culture, they began to have a “standing meeting” each morning, based on the FastCap model</p> <p>During their trip to Israel in June 2012, Paul and Leanne Akers participated in one of the Morning Meetings at MKS Israel</p> <p>Today I’ll be leading the Morning Meeting</p> <p>Good Morning!</p> <p>First, an update about last week. (Caption: Status updates)</p> <p>Last week we managed to produce 92% of the plan.</p> <p>Reasons that we didn’t reach 100% include… [fades out] (Caption: Problems that cropped up)</p> <p>Does anyone have any questions or want to ask anything?</p> <p>We’ll try asking questions:</p> <p>“Why did you bring this product over here?”</p> <p>“Why do we have to move it over there?”</p> <p>This way we can always be focused on improving</p> <p>Based on the look on people’s faces when others ask questions, our culture is not there yet.</p> <p>Who had the idea about the barcode scanner holder?(Caption: Honoring improvements)</p> <p>Who made the barcode improvement?</p> <p>The idea was originally Vadim’s, but in this area Slava and I implemented it</p> <p>[Vadim] I started implementing it in one room a year ago, it makes it very convenient,</p> <p>[Vadim] but it’s no big deal</p> <p>Notice what he just said: “Ah, that’s not a big deal.”</p> <p>People don’t yet understand that even the smallest improvement is also worthwhile and should be talked about</p> <p>What Nonna said is that it’s great that Vadim had the idea</p> <p>Paul emphasized that not only is it good, that’s exactly what we need to do: the small improvements</p> <p>As we discussed, if we do one small thing after another, after a year, there will be a huge improvement</p> <p>If we only try to make big improvements, none of them will actually come to fruition:</p> <p>There might not be a budget for it, not enough time for it, whatever</p> <p>But if we focus on small improvements, ultimately we’ll make that huge leap.</p> <p>And that’s what we need to do here.</p> <p>So for example: the warehouse employees saw just now that the barcode scanner holders make sense</p> <p>So they can go RiGHT NOW and implement it in the warehouse, too</p> <p>And if it was your idea, you can go with them, </p> <p>show them how to do one or two, make sure that they know how to do it themselves</p> <p>then you can let them continue on their own</p> <p>Thank you very much, thanks to the participants, thanks to our guests</p> <p>We can get back to work now(Caption: …Let’s get to work!)</p> <p>Have a good day!</p> <p>Editing (and translation): Shmuel KorbMusic: Kevin Macleod</p> <p>
