Slave to the Rhythm: BetaCodex Network research paper No. 24 is here!

Beta and Lean: A powerful combination. Most of what has been done in Lean over the last decades, however, fell way short of expectations. Our latest research paper (authored by Niels Pflaeging) offers a fresh start for those tired of lean tools and quick fixes: What if we considered Lean as time-orientation, in sync with the BetaCodex principle of Rhythm? Time-orientation gives Lean back a principled frame, and opens the door to more consistent, and transformational application of the "Big Three" time-oriented lean approaches that Niels investigates further in this paper. The Big Three approaches of Time-Oriented Work Systems are: The Weichselbaum System, Lean RFS and Quick Response Manufacturing. All three have been applied for decades. You have never heard of them? This may be part of the problem.

Totaling 32 pages, our 24th research paper is one of the most conceptually powerful we have published since 2008. "Slave to the Rhythm" is downloadable in PDF format free of charge.
