近日拜读冯文亮先生的职场小说“冲出重围-快速精益之道”，对此又有了更深的认识，书中有几个观点值得借鉴。Having read A Quick Qay of Lean Production recently, a professional novel written by Feng Wenliang, I have had some deeper understanding of the above issues. There are some points of view that are worth learning in the book.

1.河槽容纳的流量=淤泥等原因占据的流量 + 河槽的实际流量。而清淤只需要清理一些重点河段，就可以保持整条河道的畅通。
1. Gross river flow=space taken by sludge + net river flow. Dredging can be undertaken only at some major river segments in order to keep the whole river course smooth.

2.车间人分三类：多人，少人，新人，工厂人力资源调配信息不顺畅。。。可以将几条生产线设置为人力调配线，调配线的数量是可变的，根据生产线每天的实际需求而定，所有多的人都放掉调配线上，确认的生产线就去调配线上领取。。。调配线还兼有新人培训的功能。
2. A labor force structure in workshops can be categorized into excessive workforce, short workforce or new comers. Disordered human resource information gives rise to many problems. A solution is to allocate personnel in several deployment lines which are variable in number and determined by the actual demand of product lines. All the spare workforce is enrolled in personnel deployment lines, ready to be employed by a product line. A deployment line also helps to train new workers.

3.生产线最重要两个工位：第一工位和动态的瓶颈工位。第一工位决定最大的输出产能，动态的瓶颈工位就是半成品（WIP）积累最多的工位，决定“消化“顺畅，实现最大输出产能的可能性。
3. The two most important working positions on a production line are the first position and the dynamic bottleneck position. Whereas the first position decides the capability, the dynamic bottleneck one, where work in process accumulate the most, decides digestion, fluency and the possibility to achieve the maximum capability.

4.工厂管理先治病，再强身健体。找到工厂快速改善的办法如同治病，而5S，标准化，设备保养等等则如同健体，不见得有多少可见的直接经济效益，但至关重要。
4. A good factory management calls for wiping out the root of problem first and then finding ways for reinforcement and optimization. The root of problem lies in how to achieve fast improvement, and ways for reinforcement and optimization includes various methods such as 5S, standardization and equipment maintenance. They are steps of importance although they may not bring out much direct economic benefits.

5.库存是万恶之源。
5. Stock is the root of all evil.
