A day at Weyerhaeuser Corporate headquarters.

The topic this trip was LEAN 101 training. Lean is a process management philosophy derived mostly from Toyota. Lean is a practice that considers the expenditure of resources for any goal other than the creation of value for the end customer to be wasteful, and thus a target for elimination.

My goal during the training simulation was assembling the windshields of toy Land Cruisers. My goal as I go back to Longview is to eliminate $100K of waste.

What a challenge! Lot of pressure there to eliminate that much waste...I do not envy you Michele.
