The Logic of Life in Logistics

Does the picture we hold of our work match the work itself?
Does the picture we hold of our work match the work itself?
This is not a manual, not a method, not a vision of the future. It is a warning and a mirror: what happens when organisations optimise systems they no longer truly understand, and accelerate that optimisation with technology they understand just as little. The book is written in Dutch.
The red button is at the centre. In Book 1 it is the button that does not do what you expect: not faster, but still. The moment you stop the automatic momentum, long enough to see what is really happening.
Because when we apply technology to work we do not understand, it accelerates the problems while making them invisible. A system rarely derails through mistakes. More often through good intentions without oversight.
Does the picture we hold of our work match the work itself?
Not an operational question. An existential one.
Three books under one name. The spiral marks the logic of work as it keeps unfolding: from pause, to emergency stop, to reset.
Stopping the automatic momentum. Seeing what is happening before steering it.
Hitting the emergency stop before the chaos becomes permanent. No longer automating what is not understood.
Rethinking Lean from the start. Making everything visible, instead of everything faster.
Book 1 is out. It asks for no agreement, only attention: to stop for a moment, and see whether the picture still holds.
