For this Day:

;

more inventory?

The more inventory a company has, the less likely they will have what they need.

Continuous improvement

Something is wrong if workers do not look around each day, find things that are tedious or boring, and then rewrite the procedures. Even last month's manual should be out of date.

Focus on goals

..no compassion?

Make no judgments where you have no compassion. 
-Anne McCaffrey, writer (1926-2011)

Walking lexicons

We open our mouths and out flow words whose ancestries we do not even know. We are walking lexicons. In a single sentence of idle chatter we preserve Latin, Anglo-Saxon, Norse: we carry a museum inside our heads, each day we commemorate peoples of whom we have never heard. 
-Penelope Lively, writer (b. 17 Mar 1933)
