Some Quotes on Lean in QRM Literature
While LEAN Manufacturing methods have put a lot of emphasis on
elimination of waste, certain types of waste caused by long lead times
are ignored in these approaches (p165)
Manufacturing strategy today abounds with acronyms and techniques
just as JIT, Kaizen, SMED, Lean, Six Sigma, and many others….QRM
can help support and focus these methods so that they provide more
productive results (p188)
QRM does not undermine your Lean efforts, but rather it takes your
Lean strategy to the next level with an ability to tackle more difficult
customers and market opportunities (p189)
QRM is the only comprehensive, enterprise-wide strategy
that has the single-minded focus as well as the set of
tools to help you reduce time (p189)

The Essence of Lean Thinking
Lean is a business strategy for organizing and improving the operational activities of
companies in order to achieve business objectives in a more effective way.
1 Correctly specify
value for the customer
5 Managing
towards
perfection
4 Let the
customer
pull
2 Identify the value
stream and remove
the waste
3 Make value

“All we are doing is looking at the time line, from the moment the customer gives
us an order to the point when we collect the cash. And we are reducing the time
line by reducing the non-value adding wastes.” - Taiichi Ohno

to systematically implement
flow principles to reduce LT.

But they are NOT in the driver

Conclusions
Lean
is a universal strategy, based on principles of Flow in Value
Streams
Many tools are available to implement these principles
• Historically most of these come from Toyota (furthest in the journey)
▫ Specific for their value streams, processes, products, value for the customer
• Other industry sectors and office/service environments have started
implementing Lean with great success
▫ By using or adapting or inventing the tools that are relevant for their
situation

Conclusions
QRM
Basic principles are part of the principles of Lean
=> QRM tools are in the JIT pillar of Lean/TPS
• One clearly NEW tool is POLCA – especially suitable for low vol/high
mix environments
QRM might be the next level IN Lean (for some people),
but not the next level OF Lean
• Focus on Flow vs only on Waste
• No NEW basic principle is added by QRM

Food for Thought……
Must there really be another name?
• Is this creating confusion ? Should we not be looking for synergy?
• On the other hand: Maybe ‘QUICK RESPONSE’ sounds more
appealing/positive than LEAN….??
• Lean/QRM ? – QRL (Quick Response Lean)?
Besides POLCA (as a tool), all others elements/principles of
QRM are universal (not even sector specific)
• Why focus so much on only low volume/high mix?
Should we even be asking/looking for the need for QRM outside
manufacturing?
• No one is nowadays doubting the relevance of Lean in non-manufacturing
environments…..
