Preparation: Fail to prepare, fail to succeed

1 week ago | qualitymag.com | Darryl Seland

Famous college basketball coach John Wooden said, "Failing to prepare is preparing to fail." It’s hard to argue with someone who won ten national championships in a 12-year span.

All the robots in the world won’t help your assembly process, if your parts are not in the right place or the right orientation for pick up. Vision systems can help.

Both movies seemed to be advocating for different ends of the same argument that was taking place in the sport at the time: the efficacy of analytics, as applied in particular to the scouting of talent.

Years ago, I attended a small sustainability conference. Most of the exhibitors were large corporations and industry associations that extolled their environmental initiatives in speeches and panel discussions, and in graphically pleasing brochures and slide presentations. The company that stood out, however, was a small furniture manufacturer that was applying lean principles. The slides were very plain, but unlike the others, they had real numbers.
