Bus/Financial - Manufacturing / Lean Manufacturing - KAIZEN
English term or phrase: Least operator (concept)
Aparentemente es un concepto clave en la filosofía KAIZEN. Encontré otro hilo donde comentan acerca del significado, pero no puedo encontrar el equivalente en español.

Este es el hilo: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/english_to_spanish/business_commer...

Y a continuaciónn un poco de contexto:

STANDARD WORL DOCUMENTATION
Documents time allocated at of all operators in a cell
Documents how many operators are in a cell
Shown as a bar chart
Post at mouth of cell
Cell should be front loaded
All waiting time is allocated to the least operator
All other operators should be fully loaded to TAKT Time
Least operator concept makes the waste (waiting) visible
Exposes opportunity for improvement at last operation

Desde ya, gracias por la ayuda.

The least-operator concept states that the cell should be frontloaded and you should allocate all waiting time to the least operator. The least operator should be the last operator of the sequence. The other operators should be fully loaded to takt time..."
