As the term lean reflects the operation’s goal to eliminate waste from the system, Costco can be defined as a lean company. Some of the efficiencies that Costco obtained, are the fact that it does not advertise and the fact that it has a limited selection of products for sale.

The movie that I chose to do by paper on is called Lean on Me. It was directed by John G. Avildsen and it was written by Michael Schiffer. I believe that there are 5 themes in this movie and those are justice, transformation, rescue, discovery, and sacrifice. The concepts of psychology that I will be explaining are attitudes, personality, cognitive, deductive reasoning, and group polarization. The conflicts that the protagonist of this movie had were human vs. self, human vs. human, and human vs

The first situation was when the head of the district came to Joe and tells him he is nothing and tears him down and that he would not be able to fix the troubled high school. By the head guy doing this to Joe it motivated him to take this as a challenge and created a need for achievement. This is talked about in the motivation chapter, chapter 12.

Lean in Sheryl Sandberg has burst on the scene of tech executives with unanticipated impact. Five years running she has been named the most influential women in tech, as asserted by Forbes Magazine, with their annual rankings. Most times, when I hear accolades or designations like this my response is, nice for her resume, who are you again. Part of that comes from a rather narcissistic view of influence.

The History of “Lean” How did a physicist/engineer/statistician from Indiana completely change the business world? In the twenties, Walter Andrew Shewhart was obsessed with what he called, statistical quality control. At Bell Telephone, Shewhart used carefully managed production processes as experiments for statistically measuring variation. His work there reduced variation in manufacturing processes by making continual process adjustments. This was where he developed his infamous Shewhart
The goal of the Topeka plant’s manufacturing processes, the routings for all the products etc. have changed after lean is implemented.

Also, organization of the resources are in such a way that everything
