    I fucking hate Kaizen. I had to go through it as part of a job placement program and was convinced it was a cult. Like no, I am not going to call “Leaving a reminder for myself” a Gemba. I’m calling it a note because the japanese didn’t fucking invent the idea of writing things down for later.

      It’s all the same bullshit as six sigma with their black belts and shit. Or if you are devops the utter trash called “Agile”.

        How can you say Six Sigma is bullshit?

        It’s literally just a method of identifying a problem, measuring and analyzing its impact, and implementing a lasting solution.

        The difference between the six sigma method and traditional organizations is that:

        • Six sigma gives power to experts (instead of middle managers), * It involves staff who are actually doing the work
        • It tests solutions before they’re implemented
        • It acknowledges that many things can’t be forced top-down by the boss

          Because I’m not a six sigma whatever belt and all those things you listed are things that are just common sense.

            This dude has really drank the kool aid. Imagine being tricked into thinking that you need an imaginary black belt to do root cause analysis and participate in a project

        Because it’s a way to distinguish them. In Italy, we also call American comics “comics” (instead of the Italian word for comics) for example.

        Manga are a kind of comic, they’re just pretty specific about their format and choices. Anime is a kind of animated cartoon, it’s just specific about its choices. Even “coming from Japan” isn’t a requirement as long as it follows those traditionally(-ish) Japanese choices.

          Eh, there’s different schools of thought. Artists like Junji Ito or Kabi Nagata make stuff very different from the usual manga, but they’re still called “manga”. In the same way, Radiant isn’t considered a manga by many even though it’s so close to the actual ones it even got an anime.
