Wow, enlightenment at last. My boys have taken to calling me "Mama G". I thought they were talking to me in the rap language, as in Mama Gangsta. Now I know that they are being much more complimentary by telling me that I am "the light and lifeforce" of their lives! Yippee!!! I've finally gotten some respect.:magic: I feel kind of like Yoda..."there is no try, only do or not do." (i'm sure i didn't get that quote quite right..forgive me)

Forgive me for reopening an old thread, but my suffering has not diminished. My management has been at the Japanese dictionary again and is now employing the following terms.

Chaku chaku
I'm not sure of the meaning but it appears to have something to do with making components in England and assembling them in a factory a thousand miles away where the workforce is paid less.

Jidoka
Similar to Poka Yoke but with different letters.

Autonomation
I can only assume this to be a declaration of war on the English language.

I am not seeking clarification, sympathy will suffice. Ignorance is my last refuge of sanity.

Forgive me for reopening an old thread,
Forgive you? Nothing to forgive... Finding old threads, reviving them and adding to their content is generally a good idea. It provides data from previous discussions. :agree1:

I am not seeking clarification, sympathy will suffice. Ignorance is my last refuge of sanity.
And yet you shall have both (sympathy for you, and explanations for the rest of us). :D

Chaku chaku
I'm not sure of the meaning but it appears to have something to do with making components in England and assembling them in a factory a thousand miles away where the workforce is paid less.
Not quite... Nicked from Boeing Frontiers: Japanese for "load load," chaku chaku is an efficient style of production in which all the machines needed to make a part are situated in the correct sequence very close together. The operator simply loads a part and moves on to the next operation. Each machine performs a different stage of production, such as turning, drilling, cleaning, testing or sandblasting.

Jidoka
Similar to Poka Yoke but with different letters.
Wikipedia: Jidoka (a.k.a. autonomation) a term used in Lean manufacturing meaning "automation with a human touch." It is a quality control process used in the Toyota Production System which applies the following four principles.
  1. Detect the abnormality.
  2. Stop.
  3. Fix or correct the immediate condition.
  4. Investigate the root cause and install a countermeasure.
Autonomation
I can only assume this to be a declaration of war on the English language.
:lmao: You have a certain flair for expressing things. :D

Wikipedia: Autonomation describes a feature of machine design to effect the principle of "Jidoka" used in the Toyota Production System. Autonomation, or Jidoka, may also be described as "intelligent automation'" or "automation with a human touch."

The purpose of autonomation is the rapid or immediate address, identification and correction of mistakes that occur in a process. For instance rather than waiting until the end of a production line to inspect a finished product, autonomation may be imployed at early steps in the process to reduce the amount of work that is added to a defective product. A worker who is self-inspecting their own work, or source-inspecting the work produced immediately before their work station is encouraged to stop the line when a defect is found. This detection is the first step in Jidoka. A machine performing the same defect detection process is engaged in autonomation.
