Problem: One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was the case of the empty soap box, which happened in one of Japan's biggest cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soap box that was empty. Immediately the thorities isolated the problem to the assembly line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soap box went through the assembly line empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the problem. Post-haste,

Solution A: The engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soap boxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked hard and they worked fast but they spent whoopee amount to do so

Solution B: But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the same problem, he did not get into complications of X-rays, etc but instead came out with another solution. He bought a strong industrial electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on, and as each soap box passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line.

Moral of the story: " Keep It Short & Simple" !! i.e. always look for simple solutions. Devise the simplest possible solution that solves the problem. So, learn to focus on solutions not on problems

Tako kot tista reklama: "Porabili smo leta in milijone za razvoj kulija, ki lahko piše tudi v vesolju. In kaj je uporabila konkurenca - svinčnik"

Ne vem a je bil to štos, a je bilo res

Pred leti sem imel za rešit podoben problem na liniji za polnjenje plastičnih sveč z voskom. Mehaniki so mi že skoraj izdelali konstrukcijo s fotocelico in drugimi senzorji ter začeli pripravljat kanale in prostor za elektro omarico avtomatike v kateri bo najmanj LOGO! krmilnik ...

Jaz pa sem vzel spiralno vzmet v obliki palčke (za razteg) dolgo cca. 20cm premera 1cm in jo pritrdil na ograjico transportnega traku po katerem so šle sveče, tako da se je kot zapornica ukrivila ob prehodu vsake polne sveče. Če je bila kakšna sveča brez voska (prelahka) jo je vzmet odrinila na stran traku kjer ni bilo ograjice ... ... mehaniki pa ...

Iztok, ....jaz bi še manj kompliciral in bi postavil ventilator, ki bi pač prazno plastiko samo odpihnil iz traku .

Moje videnje:
Američani rinejo z glavo skozi zid, dokler zadeva ne deluje.
Nemci dodelajo do popolnosti, da komaj še deluje.
Rusi tako poenostavijo, da včasih ne deluje več.

Obstaja poseben problem pri razvoju po naročilu. Za problem vreden 100 je obstajala enostavna rešitev, ki bi stala 10. Seveda se je dodalo čuda nekih sistemov, da je na koncu vse skupaj za silo izgledalo vredno recimo 70.

Avtor rešitve vsaj približno ve kolikšen prihranek bo nekaj prineslo in če se le da, zaračuna del bodočega dobička. Vsaka firma bi zato morala predvsem sama razvijat svojo tehnologijo. Za primer je lahko Kolektor, ki se je po tem receptu prebil na prvo mesto v svetu.
