Isn’t it amazing how Amazon has embraced Six Sigma, Lean Six Sigma and has made Kaizen a way of life? Financially, Amazon has been doing extremely well — Amazon has been in the black for the last four quarters!
對于亞馬遜支持六西格瑪、精益六西格瑪,以及將KAIZEN(改善)作為一種生活方式的做法,你是不是很驚訝呢?從財務上講,亞馬遜做得相當不錯-亞馬遜在過去的四個季度里一直處于盈利狀態(tài)!
Jeff Bezos has been continuously putting the profits back into Amazon for continuously improving every aspect of the company. This is true Kaizen, and the reward has been that Amazon’s current market cap is nearly $470 billion!
亞馬遜公司創(chuàng)始人杰夫·貝佐斯已持續(xù)把利潤帶回該公司,以不斷改善公司的方方面面。這是真正的KAIZEN(改善),而由此帶來的回報則是讓亞馬遜公司時下市值達到了近4700億美元!
(譯者注:此文發(fā)布于2017年的上半年,按照最新數(shù)據(jù),亞馬遜公司的當前市值已經(jīng)超過7900億美元,接近8000億美元)
A Kaizen event take time, and also takes the staff out of their daily tasks to dedicate to improving what isn’t working or is unnecessary in the company’s current processes. The end results are worth it. Just ask Jeff Bezos: he has made this his philosophy.
的確!Kaizen Event(改善活動),需要時間,也需要員工在日常任務中致力于改善公司當前流程中不起作用以及不必要的工作。最終的結果是值得這么做的!請問一問杰夫·貝佐斯:他已經(jīng)把Kaizen Event(改善活動)當成了自己的哲學。
A typical Kaizen event lasts about one business week; each issue is a separate event. This is a strategy that puts staff members of all levels working together with their collective talents and knowledge for a successful result.
典型的Kaizen Event(改善活動),會持續(xù)大約一周時間;每個問題都是一個單獨的活動。這是一個讓各級的員工運用集體才能與知識為成功的結果而一道工作的策略。
