I told a client about the title of this book and he laughed. “Len,” he said, “I grant you, we got the processes under control and we made a lot of money as a result of your efforts in less than 90 days. But it is an ongoing effort. Paying attention to our inefficiencies is a continual struggle. But we know how to deal with them. And that is what the War on Waste did. It gave us the system to deal with the wastes and we keep our antennas up. It is management’s responsibility to pay attention to new wastes. When we were done with the initial effort, we knew what to do. We kept a focus on wastes and maintained an efficient operation. And that is what any business needs to do. We won the War on Waste and had the system to keep it under control.” He was successful but was there more to it? Find out by listening in. Enjoy. Best, Len
