Competitive Knowledge for Manufacturing People 
==========================================
January 20, 2004

Hi [{firstname]],

The “Lean Enterprise” should not be considered a 
passing fad. Lean manufacturing for example is 
separating the manufacturing winners from the also 
ran. And, if a company wants to survive and prosper 
in the manufacturing business, it must “get lean!”

To this end, I have am taking my Kaizen Based 
Lean Manufacturing™ methodology on the road as a 
1-day forum. First stop is in Southern California on 
February 18th. Even if you’re into lean manufacturing, 
you’ll have much to gain by attending this “GET LEAN” 
forum. 

You’ll participate in “ShowTime!” a 2-part exercise 
that compares the effectiveness of MRP vs. lean 
manufacturing. You’ll also receive a copy of our
e-Tutorial, “Kaizen Based Lean Manufacturing™,” 
(A $395.00 Value). 

At this lean manufacturing forum, you will discover 
why and how manufacturing leaders are identifying 
and mastering the 8-Basics of Kaizen Based Lean 
Manufacturing™. You’ll learn how they "bullet-proof" 
manufacturing solutions and drive growth and profits 
beyond expectations. And, best of all you’ll come 
to understand how their day-to-day struggle becomes 
fun again.

Have a nice day, take a break and enjoy this week’s 
MB&BP Bulletin.

Another Take a Break Story

On June 20th 1969, Neil Armstrong commander of the 
Apollo-11 Lunar Module step onto the moon and said, 
"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for 
mankind."

When reentering the module, he made a brief statement, 
"Good luck, Mr Gorsky". When back in the USA many 
reporters kept asking him what was the significance 
of the Gorsky statement. He never responded with an 
answer. Many speculated that it was a message to a 
Soviet astronaut. On July 5th, 1995, when once again 
he was asked the 26 year-old question, he finally 
replied. 

In 1938 when I was a kid in a small Midwest town, we 
used to play baseball in a field in the back of my 
house. One day, one of my friends hit a ball over the 
fence into my neighbor's yard. I jumped the fence to 
retrieve the ball that had landed up against Mr. and 
Mrs. Gorsky's house. When I stooped to pick up the 
ball, I could hear Mrs. Gorsky yelling at Mr. Gorsky, 
" Sex! You say you want sex! You'll get sex when the 
kid next door walks on the moon!"
