What a difference EDUCATION makes

Long time NO blogging! Sorry life is hectic here in my little world; 2007 has certainly started out with similarities to a pressure cooker. I confess some of it is self induced as I love being busy. I spent a full week being educated by instructors from Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) in every aspect LEAN. These long sessions totally saturated and wore out my brain. After 5 days of 7:30 am to 5 pm the real kicker were the 5 tests I had to take. The second and final week is scheduled during February. The crazy thing is that I absolutely LOVE learning this interesting approach to business.

I am VERY thankful to work for an employer who supports further education; who gave me the opportunity to particpate as a part of the first group to learn the concept and methods of LEAN.
