| Irony is Beautiful
For the past year or so my company has been implementing “lean manufacturing” principles. In other words, we’re removing “waste” from our manufacturing processes—stuff that customers aren’t willing to pay for.
Smart.
One dedicated employee I know has even labeled the proper places for her stapler, tape dispenser and paper clip holder on her desk (so they never, ever get lost).
Real smart!
This past week the company gave us laminated 2” x 3” cards, describing the many types of “business waste” and some other lean manufacturing dogma, to post in our work areas. The punch line? The cards were full of spelling and other errors, meaning that we had to throw them all away, and now they’re printing new ones. Irony is a beautiful thing.
