Use \u201cpull\u201d systems to avoid overproduction.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As I read \u201cThe Toyota Way\u201d I constantly tried to think about how I could apply these principles to what I do, HR.\u00a0 Reading the chapter on Principle 3, I repetitively came back to the idea of recruiting and how we pull talent from the marketplace and push them to hiring managers.<\/p>\n

My problem with this principle is that it might work for the supply chain in manufacturing, but I\u2019m not sure the principle is right for all of HR, like recruiting.\u00a0 Based on workforce needs, I might just want to constantly push candidates to hiring managers even when they are not needed.\u00a0 Have you ever run across the perfect candidate for a job, or just a great person you would want working for your organization in any capacity?\u00a0 Waiting for the right job to open up might mean a missed opportunity to hire this individual whereas a flexible approach to staffing allows you to hire exceptional talent when they are available.<\/p>\n

Another area where I think JIT fails in HR is information.\u00a0 We\u2019ll cover this again in a few days (principle 7), but suffice it to say that modern technology dashboards are designed to deliver easily viewed and informative organizational statistics on an ongoing basis so that problems can be identified immediately rather than as a reaction to an error.<\/p>\n

There are of course areas in HR where JIT production makes complete sense.\u00a0 We think about how we deliver call center and support services, for which the needs are largely unknown until the issue is raised.\u00a0 The push\/pull argument is really one of defining service delivery in all aspects of HR.\u00a0 How information is requested and fulfilled, and what information or processes are critical enough to be available at all times is something your organization should be considering at all times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
