A major change brought about by the inventory revolution is the change in the pattern of power operation, from the previous "top-down" to "bottom-up". With the to do list, the powers and obligations of all levels in the system are more clear, and the operation efficiency is higher. During Hurricane Katrina, Wal-Mart responded very promptly, far surpassing the US government, because Wal-Mart has a clear inventory system.
A truly effective list is not "all-encompassing", but should be simple, measurable, and efficient. The purpose of the checklist is to keep things simple, not to make things more complicated. When Dr. Attu participated in WHO activities, he found that the accumulation of global disease analysis data was accumulated and abnormally large, causing inefficiency. Therefore, he suggested to establish a simplified system.
In another case, in order to solve the public health problem in Karachi, Pakistan, a non-profit organization called "Hope" came up with a way to distribute soap for free, simplifying things.
The team is the organizational unit that implements decision-making, and the formulation of the list needs to improve the cohesion and potential of the team, rather than dispel the enthusiasm of the members and reduce the professionalism of the members.
In a good checklist system, the entire team will be assembled quickly, and team members will play their best value, even if they are not familiar with each other, it will not affect collaboration.
In the aviation industry, the story of "Captain Sally" is such a typical case. During the emergency landing on the Hudson River, the "temporarily" crews successfully avoided danger through established procedures and standard work, creating a legend.
In the process of formulating and implementing the list, one thing that needs special attention is that people should be the foundation. The checklist should not become the bondage of people. The protagonist in solving the problem is people, not the checklist.
New knowledge should be systematically transformed into simple and practical methods of operation, and updated into the inventory manual as soon as possible, rather than delaying by writing papers and doing long research.
There are also such cases in the aviation industry. Experts found that aircraft passing through the Arctic are often threatened by freezing ice crystals, so they came up with operating techniques that allow the pilot to heat the engine and melt the ice crystals in a few seconds at the beginning of the launch. This method quickly spread to pilots, avoiding accidents. This rapid transformation from knowledge to application is a manifestation of "people-oriented".
The list is not a panacea, and it is not that everything will be fine if you have a list. One of the characteristics of the list is that it needs to be updated and improved continuously.
Even the simplest list needs continuous improvement. Simplicity and effectiveness are always a contradictory combination. Only by continuous improvement can the list always ensure safety, accuracy and stability, and continue to function.
