The principles of lean have existed for many years, beginning in the 1980s in the automotive manufacturing industry. The key principle was to look at the various processes in manufacturing and determine where “waste” could be removed. That “waste” could include any number of items, from perceived overstaffing to inefficiencies on production lines. Since then, many industries have adopted the lean method using a number of more customized methodologies to fit their particular workplaces. The field of data analysis is no stranger to lean, as the core questions—How can we do it faster, better, cheaper, and more accurately?—will always apply.
Discuss how situational analysis methodologies might apply outside of data analysis.
Consider different ways that you might use situational analysis in your career.
Give examples of problems that might be solved by situational analysis or problem solving.
Discuss how problem-solving methodologies can assist with communication.
Consider the value of having a “shared lexicon” of methods when communicating with other departments or other companies. Describe instances where this might be of benefit. Also consider ways in which this might be a hindrance to communication.
Describe how lean methodologies can impact a career.
Discuss your experiences with lean methods. If you do not have direct experience with lean, discuss how the methodology might impact your career choices.
When discussing your experiences, reflect on the positive aspects of lean and how they might affect your position. Discuss any perceived negatives to lean methodologies as they might apply to your career.
