This is what a War on Waste does and the energy is seen in the discussion with Chris in this chapter.  It adds energy to a company.  In the story of Quality Pump, at this point in the process, lots of Energy is going into the company and so order is being restored as seen in some of the early improvements that are taking place.

Think of the War on Waste as an Energy Initiative.  It will take about three or four years for the War on Waste energy to be sustained.  When it nears the end of its energy cycle, a new energy initiative needs to be found.  

This is precisely what Jack Welch did at GE.  First there was the Work Out Initiative and that was followed by a number of new initiatives every four years or so.
