Organized v. Lean

Organized is 10 paint cans in a neat row. Lean is the 8 cans of paint you actually need, labeled, with paint in them, where you can quickly access them, and a lid opener stuck on them with a magnet .

Lean systems tell YOU when things are depleted, amiss or whatever.

Lean benefits are subtle, and cumulatively huge. Don’t expect an “aha” moment….it’s more the quiet removal of stress, chaos and all its evil cohorts.

Lean systems stay lean…you don’t have to tear them down periodically to clean, straighten up or fix . If a work truck constantly gets trashed, it’s not set up lean .

Lean is the foundation to make employees productive, profitable and efficient…and they enjoy their jobs far more.

All the best,
Your fan, and I’m spreading the gospel,
Andy Gullion
