Top 10 Signs You're Into LEAN (Just for laughs)
From our very own funny man - Bill Dubois (borrowed from his blog posting on March 10th)....
A friend was telling me about a Lean project he is currently working on. Implementing Kanban, Lean Six Sigma training, set up reduction and quality initiatives, among other things, this person is currently consumed in Lean. My friend said that he thinks it’s time for a break because he is even dreaming about Kanban cards! My advice to him was to get use to it. Once you’re into Lean Six Sigma, you are always thinking Lean. We then came up with our
Top 10 list of: You know you’re into Lean Six Sigma when…
10. Loading the dishwasher, you put the spoons, knives and forks together so it is faster to unload and put back in the drawer.
9. You wonder why it takes so many key strokes to get a boarding pass printed at the counter when you can do so fast checking in over the web. You also wonder what video game the ticket agent is really playing.
8. You think your neighbors should put their garbage cans next to each other and cut the number of garbage truck stops by at least 50%.
7.You now think garage sales are a good idea because it gives you a chance to kick off you’re “at home” 5S program.
6.Friends ask if you are taking a second language course because you are throwing words like muda and kaizen around.
