The Joint Venture
Filling gaps
in Lean implementations
|
|
With our Joint Venture (JV) partner Quantum
Business Enterprises, Farthing West has been working to fill in many
gaps that are often missed in western implementations of Lean
Thinking.
We have recently brought to the market a series of innovative and powerful
tools that get you closer in time and place to the problem event,
so you can deal with root causes and quickly transform your
people into effective ‘worker problem solvers’.
For
example, our new messaging tool, the SMS Blaster, is able to
link a mobile phone number to almost any software application in a
matter of minutes as a way of “making problems visible” in real
time.
|
|
SMS Blaster
Making the
Problem Visible
|
|
Consider the following problem
situations. The applications are almost limitless.
|
Problem Situation
|
SMS Blaster - Making the
Problem Visible
|
|
A machine is
producing below its planned rate
|
Using a
simple sensor a message is automatically sent via SMS alert for an
operator or supervisor to attend and investigate (and the event
history is logged).
|
|
A cool room
is above temperature
|
An SMS alert
is automatically sent to a repair technician to attend and
investigate. If the condition continues additional SMS alerts are
sent, in order to escalate the response.
|
|
A security
alarm has been set off
|
An SMS alert
is automatically sent to an appropriate contact.
|
|
An emergency
occurs in a mine
|
In this
unlikely event an SMS message can be quickly and reliably sent to
Site Managers, OH&S representatives and other key staff
|
|
A remotely
located computer has gone down
|
An SMS
automatically alerts a technician with a predefined response for
the technician to re-boot the computer remotely.
|
|
A driver is
available for more work
|
A driver has
reached his destination and is now available. An SMS is automatically
sent and the next job is assigned.

We can help you fill in the gaps of your
Lean implementation and

A high value
opportunity
|
|
In developing the SMS Blaster our JV has established a
relationship with the mobile telephone service provider “3”. There
are some impressive high value deals available at this time (end of
July) as indicated in the Australian Financial Review (read the full article
at the end of this email).
|
July 2008
You may have noticed the market focus
on the new Apple i-Phone over the past few weeks. Apple
competitors are now offering some outstanding deals on most of
their top world-class hardware (mobile handsets, etc) that are
worth considering right now
|
Other experts have reported:
“3” on their $69 cap program are
offering twice as much air time than Optus’ and Vodafone’s $79 plan
and 4 times that of Telstra.
In addition, the top-of-the-range
Nokia N95 8G comes for free, and the bundle includes broadband
internet USB with 2 GB of mobile browsing.
Also “3” offers mobile VoIP
functionality which has the potential to further reduce the cost of
talk time and text messages originating from all your mobile phones.
