Lean Manufacturing System
A lean manufacturing system is a system that meets high throughput or service demands with very little inventory. The lean manufacturing system contains several important principles as well as a collection of tactical methods for achieving them. The key principles of lean manufacturing are discussed below.Value Streams: Let customers pull value through the enterprise by understanding what they want and then produce to meet real demand.Stretch for Perfection: Pursue perfection by continually identifying and eliminating non-value-added activities from all processes.Employee contribution: Involve employees in continual improvement and problem-solving activities.Quick Implementation: Implement a rapid plan-do-check-act improvement framework to achiev
Prior to privatisation in China, business only existed in the form of State Owned Enterprise (SOE). These were (and still are) run by people with strong political backgrounds and relationships, usually connected by family ties to someone in the government. This sort of closed organisational structure gave no opportunity for its employees to be involved in any decision-making processes. Often, principle-based leadership was substantial to motivate staff to be productive, although the extent of government financial support available meant that SOEs frequently didn’t need much in the way of business knowledge or understanding of the market. Success was based rather on good relationship building – which effectively meant getting government financial support.A lean manufacturing system is a system that meets high throughput or service demands with very little inventory.

The Joint Venture Analogy
Imagine my doctor sending out an e mail to all his patients, offering them a discount on hip replacements for November. Or the Network Marketing lady who walked into my seminar in a hotel in Abbotsford and announced that, after looking at the palm of my hand, I was deadly ill and needed her supplements. She added that this would also make me financially secure, implying that I was not financially secure. She had never met me and was not even a part of my seminar audience!This is not all that uncommon – attend most “Business Networking Events” and you will find a bunch of self-employed salespeople thrusting their business cards at each other and proudly broadcasting their “Elevator pitches” to all and sundry, whether they want to hear it or not. They might as well go

How Does Certified Training Increase Student Learning?
Just about anyone can explain what they know, or demonstrate how to do a skill that they've learned. And both of these can be, at times, effective ways of teaching. But these are not the only ways to teach. And for many students, these are not the most effective ways to learn.Certified trainers know how to teach the same topic several different ways so that their point gets across to all of the students, not just a few. They know how to recognize when students are having trouble with the topic, and they know how to help the students that need extra help. They are also very good at designing group work and hands-on projects, as well as practical problem-solving situations. These are all very effective methods of teaching that are often ignored by trainers who have not

With the boom of joint venture in the late 80s and early 90s, foreign investors started sending their own managers to interact with the SOE business culture. They were given great packages as incentives to compensate for hard local living conditions. In the 13 years I have been living in China, I have heard stories, too numerous to mention, of foreign managers attending hundreds of banquets and getting drunk with government officials, while the translators took over the communication channels. Most of the time they would have no idea of what was going on, other than that they were expected to drink vast quantities of alcohol, which somehow or other bridged the gap between the
