"Learning how companies in
different industries apply lean manufacturing principles to their
operations has enabled me to think differently about how we do
things. I have been able to introduce several new lean principles
at Tier One that I believe will help make us more competitive and
profitable. I especially enjoy talking with other manufacturing
professionals and touring operations areas to see lean
manufacturing being applied on the shop floor."
