It is a shame that some companies use the word "lean" when they are really doing a transformation, re-organization, or just plain headcount reduction.<br>It gives lean manufacturing a real bad name, and it is a real shame.<br>If you cannot stand up in front of all employees and tell them that no jobs will be lost as a result of lean, then you will not get buy-in. Job combinations are going to happen, but put the displaced workers on kaizen, 5s, and standard ops teams and lean will snowball.John AsherThu, 01 Nov 2007 00:30:56 -0000
