I must try that in our piece/part assembly cells.Tim McMahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07780727768370988177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5167539222502940808.post-13423934894563437002010-06-17T22:44:49.700-04:002010-06-17T22:44:49.700-04:00Great concept with the product development twist! ...Great concept with the product development twist!

We made a scrap pile right outside the offices so you couldn't leave the office with out seeing all the money we were throwing away. It was a great way to force questions to be asked and action to be taken.<br /><br />I have seen several versions since then and they all seem to work very well.
