Lean Kanban NA — Lean Applied

Reinterpreting Lean to Reduce Conflicts — Gregory Howell

Task decon­flic­tion has been the pri­ma­ry con­cern of man­age­ment since the indus­tri­al age. Man­age­ment prac­tices and tools, includ­ing those applied to projects, focused on decon­flic­tion with lit­tle con­cern for syn­er­gy. Work flowed through Ford?s pro­duc­tion with­out inter­fer­ence. In projects, the Crit­i­cal Path Method assures work was done in sequence with­out inter­fer­ence. In both cas­es, decon­flic­tion was cho­sen over synergy.

Next Video Decision Making Across Time and Space: Lessons from NASA — Kathleen Mosier 

In space and avi­a­tion oper­a­tions, effec­tive and effi­cient com­mu­ni­ca­tion between ground and space/​air is essen­tial for suc­cess­ful task per­for­mance and mis­sion safe­ty. The impor­tance of team com­mu­ni­ca­tion is height­ened when unfore­seen prob­lems arise, such as sys­tem fail­ures that are time-crit­i­cal and require exten­sive coor­di­na­tion and col­lab­o­ra­tion between space and ground crews.
