We are in the final stages of building this blog and will have it up and running, full of demonstrations, kaizen product reviews, and guides to implementing lean manufacturing principles.
Ron Pereira at the Lean Six Sigma Academy was one of the happy winners for the 5S Challenge contest held at the Gemba Panta Rei blog a few weeks ago. Ron put his prize of the 5S in A Bag to good use in starting to teach his daughter about 5S.
Kids in school these days have agendas (day planners) with Steven Covery sayings (7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and so forth) so why not teach pre-schoolers the value of 5S and one-piece flow? Take one toy out, put one toy away. I've heard that the Montessori system does something similar.
With Lean thinking it's never too early to start improving. While "most of the work you do is waste" is not a positive message for youngsters, "there is no end to improvement" and "use your wits, not your wallet" (two of the 10 Commandments Kaizen) are both surely nuggets of wisdom for the ages.
