"At the end of Yihai and the beginning of Gengzi, tens of thousands of people were infected by the Jingchu epidemic, and everyone was afraid of it. They did not leave home, and the world shook..." The sudden outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia changed our lives. This Spring Festival this year was extraordinary. We responded to the national call to fight against the epidemic, starting from self isolation.

Work has stopped, outings have stopped, gatherings have stopped, and offline activities of the International Association for Excellence in Operations have also stopped. Looking at the busy figures of medical staff, I can only stay at home, like a cat's paw in my heart. Although I cannot go out, some clever friends have already fully utilized this time to recharge themselves, make up for personal shortcomings or further study knowledge reserves to prepare for tomorrow. On the occasion of the epidemic, The International Association for Excellence in Operations is quietly and closely preparing for a series of online public welfare activities.

You doze off and your family hands you pillows;

If you want to learn, the International Association for Excellence in Operations will provide you with courses;

If you want to highlight the dilemma, the International Association for Excellence in Operations will provide you with a solution;

The continuous spread of the epidemic has had a huge impact on the Chinese economy, while also putting operational pressure on a large number of enterprises. The International Association for Excellence in Operations, together with the most authoritative and outstanding teachers on the association's platform, has been launching online public lecture live broadcasts since February 15th. A total of four categories, namely "Excellent Operations", "Agile Supply Chain", "Employee Relationship Management", and "Quality Assurance", are set up, and the eight most popular themes are presented with great enthusiasm.

On the afternoon of February 15, 2020, the first live broadcast public welfare training lectures "Excellent Operations and Epidemic Management Practice" and "Lean Factory Planning and Internal Logistics Management" organized by the International Association for Excellence in Operations were officially held as scheduled; According to online statistics, 4986 relevant workers have signed up for this online training activity.

Finally, Yang Zhou presented a lean improvement case of a semi-automatic mask factory to everyone

By eliminating wasteful links and consolidating positions to save personnel, and by adding fixtures and conducting standardized operations to solve existing bottleneck defects, the defect rate was reduced, ultimately achieving the goal of expanding production capacity.

In the end, Teacher Yang Zhou summarized that in excellent operational management practices, using amoeba management to make organizations full of vitality, using Lean Six Sigma to smooth the flow of value, and using digital intelligence to make system operations more efficient, enabling enterprises to overcome difficulties and move towards the future!

Teacher Sun's clear thinking, simple teaching mode, exciting PPTs, and rich practical cases brought the training to a climax. The on-site students carefully absorbed every knowledge point and new concept, and gradually entered a better situation.

     Time always passes quickly and unintentionally, and as the course ends, the sharing between the two teachers left a deep impression on everyone. With the hard work of teachers Yang Zhou and Sun Yuying, as well as the preparation of the International Association for Excellence in Operations and Zhiyuan Yi staff, the first online public welfare lecture was a complete success, and the students returned with a full load; We will continue this public welfare training activity along the way. Thank you for your participation, companionship, and recognition!

      After the two teachers finished sharing, we carried out the final Q&A session, and everyone actively raised their own questions. The summary is as follows:

Answer: This question should be the topic of amoeba management in flexibility. The key is to develop an accounting mechanism suitable for the enterprise, and functional departments can also sell services through internal accounting. Of course, the premise is that the provided services can be recognized by the service department for value, which will generate continuous purchases, otherwise it is not sustainable. Nowadays, many international large enterprises adopt different forms of shared centers such as human resources, supply chain, and finance, which are also good practical forms.

Answer: The core point is the calculation of investment return. When technology is feasible, decisions should be made based on the acceptable investment payback period of the industry in which the enterprise is located. The frequency of market changes should be considered simultaneously to determine the impact on the production line form. It is recommended to explore the potential from a management perspective and consider simple automation. When process capability management and maintenance capabilities are insufficient, it is not advisable to invest too much in fully automated processes.

Answer: The cultivation of versatile workers is a long-term and continuous process that cannot be achieved quickly after problems occur. There is a specific method to support the cultivation of versatile workers. Additionally, versatile workers are only a means in lean management and need to be combined with other methods to better realize their value.
