LEAN是一種企業態度

有效的「精益」模式是降低成本、減低庫存、縮短生產前置時間，以及提高生產效率的保證。「精益生產」所追求的是客戶價值的最大化，以及流程中浪費的最少化，即以最少的工作創造最大價值。「精益」模式建基於大野耐一的準時生產( Just in time )哲學，讓豐田汽車的工業革命成功推翻自二十世紀初美國福特所創立的流水線生產模式。及後由James Womack等美國學者所著，第一本深入研究豐田成功模式的《The Machine That Changed the World》於1990年出版，並將豐田生產系統定名為「精益生產」( Lean manufacturing )，瞬即引起全球仿傚豐田生產系統的熱潮。台灣受日本統治達五十年之久，不少工廠至今仍沿用日本傳承的先進技術及生產方法，並演化成獨有的本土生產管理哲學。為此，來自本港各企業的管理代表特意對台灣企業獨特的「精益管理」模式進行了考察。行程所見，「台灣式精益」成功之道可體現在以下各方面：

登山朝聖記

隨心的旅行最令人嚮往，因為路上充滿未知的驚喜。在愛爾蘭西部小鎮Westport打工，聽聞附近有一座很著名的山峰Croagh Patrick。難得每周放假一天，又未試過在外國行山，我決定爬山去。在網上不難找到它的介紹。Croagh Patrick高764米，被譽為愛爾蘭的聖山，相傳St. Patrick在此齋戒絕食四十天，祈求上帝保護愛爾蘭的人民，因而得名。它又被當地人暱稱The Reek，是人們祈求寬恕，尋找安寧的地方。這趟旅程名符其實是十分隨意，只有基本的行裝。揹起背囊，帶備水和麵包，穿風褸和行山鞋。當日早上還下了一場大雨，我堅執地等待，一待天色轉好便出門。幸運地，沿途天氣變得晴朗起來。這座山距離住處大概八、九公里，我跟著手機地圖，沿著海邊步行至入口，花了大概一小時。攀山的過程出乎我想像之外，全程山路崎嶇不平，佈滿大小不一的碎石。下雨的關係，碎石間非常濕滑，有些路段亦貼近斜坡，令旅途更帶點危險。終於走了一個小時，到達山脊，這裡已經可以俯瞰到不錯的景色。放眼望出去，一邊是海邊和小島，另一邊是連綿的農田。
