![]() So, what to do if your cell or cells flow clockwise? Does this mean you are not lean? Of course not. Yeah, I know, that was a really bad joke. In addition to learning about lean you will be doing some great exercising… which is lean as well I guess. Of course you should do this a few times to make sure. Chances are very good that your counter clockwise time will be several seconds faster than your clockwise time. Then, take a rest and run another lap counterclockwise and time yourself. If you don’t believe this brain science stuff head to the closest track and run a lap headed clockwise and time yourself. ![]() When you are running “left hand inside” or counterclockwise, you have better visibility of space on the left side and you are able to run more comfortably, confidently, and quickly. According to a Professor Matsumoto, since the right brain processes spatial recognition human perception of space is stronger through the left side of vision (the hemispheres of the brain control opposite sides of the body). One of the strongest reasons given for the innate “left hand inside” preference for human motion comes from brain science. Well, he explained it to a lot of people in this post some time ago. I must give credit to my friend Jon Miller for first explaining this to me. You may not have ever given this much thought but there is actually quite a bit of “brain science” behind this. They also move around the track in a counter clockwise manner. The same thing applies for track athletes and race cars. In every horse race I have seen the horses run counter clockwise. Have you ever seen a horse race held where the horses ran clockwise? Probably not. ![]() While the right hand dominate aspect may be the most common reason for flowing counter clockwise there is another reason that is quite amazing. We pick up with our right hand (when we need to aim) then put it down with our left (when no aim is needed). So, with this known we can see why having things flow counter clockwise or “left hand inside” makes sense when most people are right handed. There is not much “aiming” involved with simply placing something down. Since we have to “aim” so to speak to pick it up we tend to want to use our dominate hand.įurther, once we have “added value” to the product we are ready to simply pass it on to the downstream process. Well, when you think about what happens in a cell we know that first we must pick the product up. I have heard that as many as 85% to 90% are right handed. Research shows that most people are right handed. When designing a u-shaped cell it is often recommened that material flow in a counter clockwise direction.
