  60 years enough to reach Toyota?

  Art Kleiner, Editor-in-Chief of Strategy & Business, in an interview

  ...pretty much what I have experienced and tackled during my time with BMW
  in Leipzig, when we digged deep into upstream processes in and outside the
  production area finding the root cause.
  
  As all processes are coupled tightly it makes a difference if you quick-fix the problem
  (for sure this fires back soon) or get down to the root cause that could even be found
  in early design stages.
  
  Thankful to have learned what Toyota is showing us daily -even when iddling the
  plant and preparing their workforce for the next up-turn of the economy.
  
  Unleashing the workforce creativity and innovation power is the right thing to do:-)
