There's some irony to every tech company modeling their pipeline off Toyota's Kanban system...
Only for Toyota to completely fuck up their tech by running out of disk space for their system to exist on. Looks like someone should have put "Buy more hard drives" to the board.
not to mention the lean process effed them during fukashima and covid, with a breakdown in logistics and a shortage of chips, meant that their entire mode of operating shut down, as they had no capacity to deal with any outages in any of their systems. Maybe that has happened again, just in server land.
It wasn’t just Fukushima. There was a massive flood in Thailand at the same time that shut down a load of suppliers. It was a really bad bit of luck but they did learn from that.
Oh yeah, this is all from memory.
