Taiichi Ohno Sayings

A year ago, I decided to have fun and created these small banners based on the sayings of Taiichi Ohno, the father of the Toyota Production System (TPS) and Just-In-Time (JIT). I found that his sayings were accurate and still effective in these days.

There are other sayings that I haven’t created a banner yet just as “We can never say that the standard operations we now have are the best, and there is no room for further improvement.”

Today, many companies have different systems to maintain, with different languages, programming styles, structures, and business logics. Some projects were developed by their department, others were inherited from other departments, and some come from third parties. The issue goes on the lack of standardization in many companies when dealing with these projects and the lack of enforcement of such standardization. We can standardize the way we code and write documentation. A good start would be to use or create a framework in which base our future projects so we focus on only building self-contained plugins using existent programming patterns.

Positive Experiment

After watching some TED’s presentations, I decided to follow some of the ideas presented. I am going to experiment with positivity.

For a month, I will do one or more of the following actions per day:

  • Write down three things I am grateful
  • Journal one positive thing that happens to me inside the 24 hours
  • Exercise to teach myself that behavior matters
  • Meditate to help with the ADD that this society has created.
    ( I do yoga so this part is cover Wink )
  • Perform random act of kindness such as writing a positive email or message to my social network

The idea is that we improve our lives plus exercise our brains to know how to keep begin positive. Plus, there seems to be research showing that positive thinking improve performance and quality of life.
