When the Other Shoe Drops

Forum  |  forums.industryweek.com | Feb 12, 2009

My most recent "Just in Time" column (which you can read here) makes a couple points about the benefits of lean manufacturing that, in hindsight, probably are a bit overzealous, given the times we live in and all that.

Video Example of Kaizen in Action

Forum  |  feeds.penton.com | Sep 30, 2008

Although this is an example, it isn't a very good one. I really didn't see that much of a change in the entire operation and the space savings were pretty minor.

Back in my college days, 25+ years ago, I worked the summers in a windshield manufacturing plant, PPG. As a cutter we wore arm chaps made of a cut resistant materiel(also other safety clothing). I couldn't cut them with a knife but I believe it was before kevlar became popular.
