Not so "Lean"

27 January 2009 by Doug Imrie

Got a call from Kathleen this morning at 07:30, she's running another Kaizen this week and had had a bad drive out to Livingston because one of her headlight bulbs had gone. She wanted to see if I could swing round past a Halfords on my way to the office to get a replacement. Even better says me, I'll get a spare bulb and pop into Livingston on my way to Glasgow and replace the bulb before tonight's drive home... Kaizen weeks feature early mornings and late nights.

So I think its better to check online to see what bulb I need  for a "see you baby, see you shakin' that ass" car and couldn't believe what I found - try Googling "renault megane headlight bulb" and you'll see what I mean.

Unbelievable! Considering the motor industry through Toyota is at the heart of Lean management it's a pity the techniques of continual improvement haven't reached Renault.

The father of basketball, Dr. James Naismith came up with the game in 1892 and very first video game was performed in Beaver Falls Pennsylvania on April 8 1893 between the New Brighton YMCA nicely Geneva College.

Useful information, many thanks to the author. It is puzzling to me now, but in general, the usefulness and importance is overwhelming. Very much thanks again and good luck!

This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing websites that understand the value of providing a quality resource for free. It?s the old what goes around comes around routine.

Hi. I wanted to drop you a quick note to express my thanks. I've been following your blog for a month or so and have picked up a ton of good information as well as enjoyed the way you've structured your site. I am attempting to run my own blog but I think its too general and I want to focus more on smaller topics. Being all things to all people is not all that its cracked up to be.

You have some honest ideas here. I done a research on the issue and discovered most peoples will agree with your blog.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

Very cool! I just bookmarked it too so I look forward to seeing more

Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.
