You will still have to find each card, write the next letter and move on to the next person. It will go a little faster, since there is less mental work (remembering the names and communicating each letter). <br />You could try using other names, or names of animals, companies etc.. But now you lose a little bit of the personal touch. It's nice to see your own name written out. I'm not sure, I haven't tried it this way.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09770921422994624110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6267539682365042738.post-13253731674114637702013-05-27T10:43:51.826-04:002013-05-27T10:43:51.826-04:00Hi Martin - Thank you very much for sharing the Na...Hi Martin - Thank you very much for sharing the Name Game. We are going to use it in a workshop this week. Since our company is relatively small, all the people know each other's names already. Would it make a better impact to have all the "customers" pick a name different from their own? Or do you have another suggestion for a group where everyone already knows everyone else's name? Thanks again! - Nancy Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6267539682365042738.post-81129887320256161392013-04-16T06:54:54.839-04:002013-04-16T06:54:54.839-04:00That's awesome Christel.

It just makes sense. <br /><br />We are building names, just like factories build cars. <br />Thanks for the comment!Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09770921422994624110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6267539682365042738.post-71411691993863336262013-02-28T10:57:24.751-05:002013-02-28T10:57:24.751-05:00I think writing one word after another is one-piec...I think writing one word after another is one-piece-flow and writing one letter after each other is batch.<br />In one-piece-flow we say: Take one product (name) and finish it.<br />In batch production we say: Make the first step (first letter) for a batch of products (name), then the next.<br />Florinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6267539682365042738.post-5126609842532936392013-02-12T22:55:21.852-05:002013-02-12T22:55:21.852-05:00True, Panu.

While in Lean we would like to stay away from the "batch" and move towards single piece flow. <br />Now if you treat each word as a part, then we're getting closer. Get each single word completed before moving to the next word. I.e. don't do a "batch" of words, by writing one letter of each word at a time. <br />Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09770921422994624110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6267539682365042738.post-47651972582326718482013-02-12T14:02:13.887-05:002013-02-12T14:02:13.887-05:00How about comparing batch processing and one piece...How about comparing batch processing and one piece flow. First write all A's, then all B's and so on. <br /><br />I bet the results would be even worse, but measuring per letter in a batch it would be really fast and thus process must be super efficient..Panu Kinnarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09719368896364978634noreply@blogger.com
