How Product Manufacturing Can Teach us to Write Better Software
summary
Compares Ford push lines to Toyota pull and shows value stream mapping cutting a loan process from 207 hours to 7.5 hours (non‑value time drops from 204 to 5 hours), maps eight wastes, and lists lean rules like build quality in and defer commitment. Demonstrates practical tools: telemetry as a digital value‑stream, WIP limits on Kanban to expose bottlenecks, and a six‑person, two‑month pilot that builds a customer portal with a payment slider which increases small payments and reduces collections contacts.
