Management hasn't threatened to move our jobs to China or Russia. It is implied by technology training investments and creating better international relations by building technical schools and providing computer based education in third world countries. We know that the Chinese work for $5.00 a day, if that much.

In the company I work with we have been very successful in implementing lean.
The cost of production has gone down dramatically and earnings are up. The company shares the profits with real cash to the employees.

The problem is, we are not building cars, where lean was originally innovated.

If any of you saw the Dave Monett pitch at ITG you saw lean in action. I am sure he has hired consultants and tooling engineers to design his production tools.
