Introduction Welcome to episode 91 of the Enterprise Excellence Podcast. It is such a pleasure to have someone on the show today whose book helped me so much directly when I was leading an Excellence Transformation early on in my career. Mr Ian Glenday is the author of Breaking through to Flow and Lean RFS – Repetitive Flexible Supply. I am so looking forward to this conversation as I know so many organisations are struggling particularly with planning, scheduling and flow-through operations, to dispatch and then onto customers. Ian is a legend in this space and I know many of you will gain great value from this conversation. Let’s get into the episode, Ian thank you so much for joining us today.

Quotes   The vast majority of companies, in fact, every company I work with their planning systems, whether they're bought or developed in house, are fundamentally based on what's called economic order quantities. And that is fundamentally flawed.  Because you want to put an atelier when you say to the production managers, okay, who are your green people in red people? Don't know what you mean. Who are your firefighters? Oh! That's ...  Stability is fundamental for sustainable continuous improvement standards. And that equals quality. Yeah. If you're if it's a different plan every week, and then it changes, sustainable, continuous improvement, in my view is practically impossible. Everybody does it their own way. Trying to get standards in place is very, very difficult, if not impossible, which means the basic the basics to create better quality just aren't there.
