Description

This group is to discuss Job Shop manufacturing and the application of the philosophy known as Lean to it. We also discuss related types of manufacturing such as Engineer to Order and Build to Order.

Some other groups that claim to discuss job shops try to define them as a much more complex form of manufacturing than they can be.

One area of interest is the application of Lean to the non-manufacturing functions of a company.

Wow Jim, what a long read! This guy really takes a risk in assumption...he could easily be criticized for walking into the same pitfall he is warning about.

Continuous Improvement ROI
Is there anything surprising in this other than viewing Continuous Improvement as an investment? http://www.mbtmag.com/Content.aspx?id=3810
