To label the Toyota Production System as an “efficiency” system is inaccurate. TPS is about flow (which is not the same as “efficiency”) and quality at the source.
Documenting the silly, uninformed, and incorrect things said about Lean by "belts," authors, and proponents of "Lean Six Sigma" or "Lean Sigma" - and trying to set the record straight. This is a parody of the popular book "Shit My Dad Says." Please read "About This Blog" to learn more.

Don't Learn Lean from an LSS Green Belt?
Posted on LinkedIn by somebody with a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt.... it's not her fault if she wasn't taught correctly about the Toyota Production System and Lean.
My thoughts:

Lean is All About Efficiency and Not About the Customer?
Here is the usual claptrap about Lean being all about speed and efficiency.
A Lean Sigma presenter claims the following in a webinar:
He thinks Lean contributes nothing to meeting the needs of our customers? That Lean has nothing to do with product development, the Lean Startup, or quality?
The presenter then says that Lean and Six Sigma are just a bunch of tools to combine. That shows further misunderstanding of Lean.
Toyota people would say Lean is:
The presenter THEN contradicts himself a few slides later and is correct in saying that Lean is about understanding customer needs and value. Do people even listen to themselves talk and hear how what they're saying is inconsistent?
It's amazing how consistently wrong the Lean Sigma crowd is about Lean. It does everybody a disservice.

Toyota people would say Lean is:
- Tools
- Philosophy
- Management System
It's an integrated system.

This Article Says Lean is Just About Faster and Cheaper
From an article:
It's wrong to say Lean is only applicable only when there are "no major defects in the process" (a Lean Sigma person says that Six Sigma is required for fixing quality problems).
It's wrong to say that lean is only about efficiency or just about being faster and cheaper.
