style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>The Opportunity<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We have a big family &#8211; we&#8217;ve adopted a bunch and we&#8217;re very thankful for our chance to be parents.\u00a0 We&#8217;ve got great kids.<\/p>\n<p>But, because we have a big family, things get messy, busy, and we need everybody&#8217;s help to make this household run smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>When something needs to get done, it&#8217;s either done through talking, then eventually yelling (not really), but that isn&#8217;t good for parents or for children.\u00a0 A core value we want to live is respect for the children.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Root Cause<\/strong>: since nobody really knows their job, or when to do it, it leads to confusion, argument, and lack of direction.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Countermeasure<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Our family needs something that is visible, without equivocation, and shows the Person, Jobs, Day, and Status.\u00a0 So, we created a Kanban Family Job Chart:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10193 \"

<a title=\"kanban card free template\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/kanban-card-template-tutorial-video-download\/14337\/\">Kanban is a sign or a card with instructions<\/a> of what to, when, and how much.\u00a0 At <a title=\"toyota kanban example\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/kanban-types-and-analytical-sizing\/381\/\">Toyota, Kanban cards are very low-tech<\/a>: they literally are cards with laminate on them and instructions for material release or work instructions.<\/p>\n<p>If you ever get to visit a Toyota facility, you will see clothes lines connecting processes to each other.\u00a0 The clothes line is used to pass Kanban cards.\u00a0 For example, if a downstream process needs more material, that process can pass a Kanban Material Release card to the upstream process via the clothes line concept.\u00a0 Low-tech, but it works.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Kanban Family Job Chart<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Our Kanban Family Job Chart has several elements that are important to discuss.<\/p>\n<h3>People (Who)<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It is important to recognize the people on your team, by name and by face.\u00a0 This makes things Human and, we all know, that a pillar in the Toyota Production System is Respect for People.\u00a0 Even more so in a family.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10194 aligncenter\" title=\"shmula-kanban-job-chart-people_opt\"

#000000;\">Jobs or Tasks (What)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The element of jobs and tasks are next.\u00a0 For us, it was best to create various jobs on magnets, giving us the flexibility of moving jobs around as needed and when needed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10195 aligncenter\" title=\"shmula-job-magnets-more_opt\"

style=\"color: #000000;\">Day of Week and Status (When)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Knowing when a job is done is critical for everyone in the family.\u00a0 Because the impetus is on the person to indicate when something was done, it eliminates the micro-managing that often happens in families, work, and in every organization.\u00a0 For a family, this eliminates nagging.\u00a0 When a job is done, simply move the magnet from Red to Green.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10196 aligncenter\" title=\"shmula-kanban-job-chart-day_opt\"

style=\"color: #800000;\">A Few Concepts at Play<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Agile, Scrum, and many other folks are now using the concept of the Kanban in their respective worlds.\u00a0 This is good.\u00a0 What is important is practice over theory, as Taiichi Ohno said many years ago.<\/p>\n<h3>Visual Management:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Visual Management provides instruction<\/li>\n<li>Visual Management conveys information<\/li>\n<li>Visual Management provides immediate feedback<\/li>\n<li>Visual Management quickly exposes abnormalities in a process or work area<\/li>\n<li>Visual Management quickly conveys progress or lack thereof<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Respect for People:<\/h3>\n<p>The Kanban Job Chart conveys information and instructions so that Mom and Dad don&#8217;t have to.\u00a0 When Mom or Dad have to convey the information, it usually ends-up as nagging.\u00a0 That approach is irritating, disrespectful, and polarizes people.\u00a0 We want, instead, to teach self-reliance, demonstrate our trust in the kids, and help them grow in their own terms, but with our loving guidance.<\/p>\n<p>We also have to make sure that the job is equal to the capability of the child &#8211; their mental capacity, hand size, strength, etc.<\/p>\n<h3>I Work Too:<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, while my face is not on the Job Chart, I have jobs &#8211; believe me &#8211; I have a lot of jobs.<\/p>\n\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div
