Implementing LEAN: Episode 1 – Our Wax Department; Organising for Efficiency
We are passionate about building a fun LEAN culture and developing our staff at my crafting facility, which has been a top priority since we moved to Thailand. I thought it would be interesting and educational to share this exciting journey and to provide insights about how we are implementing LEAN here.
Welcome to our first LEAN episode, which illustrates how empowering the Wax Department to design and create a new, more organised work-space for themselves resulted in less wasted time and better flow. Perhaps the best part is seeing how proud they are of the improvements they made. I am very proud too and thrilled to share this with all of you!
We've been a big follower of Paul Akers for several years and love his LEAN way of thinking and living:

High Polished vs Textured
zhlédnutí 1,5KPřed rokem
Over the years, we have been offering a handful of finishes to our customers. Not everything needs to be high polished and you can add value to your piece if the finish relates to the whole "feel" of your Brand or Collection. For example, if you have a collection more organic, it could make sense to go through the Satin, Hammered or Barrel Polish finishes, instead of High Polish. In this video ...

    - So called conflict diamonds coming into the market is virtually unheard of in 2024, thanks to the Kimberley Process, etc. - I really don't think that removal of dirt qualifies as a big environmental concern. Our whole world moves around vast amounts of dirt for projects daily. Any environmental issues with diamond mining is nothing compared to all the other mining industries. - The jewellery industry has jumped onto the lab grown diamonds bandwagon because, despite their lower price, the margins are better and they know they'll make more profit than with the thin margins with naturals. - Naturals, diamond or other gems, will always be more valuable. Anyone who has studied diamonds even a little bit know that value comes from rarity - and that applies to the '4 Cs' and how proper jewellery quality diamonds are rare and the best of those are orders of magnitude rarer. People will always treasure something that has a story behind it (hundreds of millions of years to produce from hundreds of miles below the surface) and the story of how some very very rich corporations and 1-percenters bought machinery to poop out diamonds in a week is not a very compelling story. - As far as I'm concerned, labs have their place as starter diamonds for younger people - especially those faced with insane housing prices in this day and age. Once they get established and are successful in life, they can upgrade to a natural to get something they would would be proud to pass on through the family generations.

Nowadays though it can be hard to track who was the first to make the design unless maybe there is a blog/vlog post with a concrete date and some ideas can come to different people.
