]]> Comment on What airport security has in common with manufacturing. by Gregg Gordon http://leanlaborstrategies.com/2010/11/22/what-airport-security-has-in-common-with-manufacturing/#comment-12 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 19:25:05 +0000 http://leanlaborstrategies.com/?p=30#comment-12 Good point (and thank you for pointing credit to O & I for the original idea). You’re right, the ideal example of Lean in action is employee driven ideas and execution. In this case what struck me as I walked through security was the challenges that I imagine the team went through in changing the process to capitalize on the improvements. In my experience working with companies, it is often the resistance to change that can stop a great idea. As you suggest, employee driven ideas at least eliminate the resistance from the people who do the work.

Would your point about the process improvements been better if it was the security employees who were able to design them?
