First Thursday Think Tank - Get off your butt

Happy Thursday Everyone,

"The critical ingredient of success is getting off your butt and doing something. It's as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today."  -- Nolan Bushnell (Founder of Atari Inc, & Chuck E. Cheese)

What a great quote to get us all thinking about the meeting last week.  My goal was to get everyone thinking differently, or at least thinking.  What happens after that....well that's where we need your help.  Here is a few questions to ponder in your mind or discuss within your circle of influence.

• What actions have you done with thinking or thinking differently in the past week?
• Are you the person that thinks you are thinking differently already? REALLY???
• Have you shared your different thinking with your group?

Here is a spot someone is thinking differently....a packing machine in thescreen printing department.  

Waste that is being eliminated....(1) inventory waste - WIP between screening & packing (2) transportation waste - moving inventory between screening & packing (3) Waiting waste - shipping not waiting on packing to process.

Remember, it's not how good you are, it is how good you want to be.
