Lean is not a one-time implementation: why software needs a team that maintains it
Software bought once starts aging on day one. Just like with machines, preventive maintenance (TPM) almost always costs less than a breakdown. That’s why with Yosh Flow you don’t just get a program, you get a team that keeps maintaining it.
Software bought once starts aging on day one.
One ordinary maintenance day
This is what one ordinary maintenance day on Yosh Flow looked like (27 Oct):
Every change follows the same path:
Change
Test
Review and approval
Production check
A way back to the previous version
Software is a process like any other
Libraries age, laws and business change, new people work differently. A system does not stand still, even when nobody touches it.
Without kaizen and standard work, a system slowly decays, just like 5S that nobody maintains.
Maintaining software is preventive maintenance (TPM)
Nobody asks why they service a machine that works. Maintaining software is the same as preventive maintenance on machines (TPM): a service almost always costs less than a breakdown.
That’s why with Yosh Flow you don’t just get a program, you get a team that keeps maintaining it.
How do you maintain your processes and tools?
If you want a system that stays in shape long after go-live, let’s talk.
