lean

At work we have had some workshops about lean. What is it is my first thought when I heard before that we are going to work more lean. When I googled the word lean I found this embedded video.



That opened some doors, we are talking about (Toyota) Kata. Kata is the ongoing process of improvement of your products of production process. My idea is that it is a part of how the employee approaches his work. Do I get the best result if I do this or that. Or there would be less bottlenecks if the process would be like this instead of that. Kanban, Just in Time management and the other stuff from logistics. But in fact it is a management tool how to cut the costs.

This is my last post without. Tomorrow I'll see the orthodontist for my brace. I'll have it for a couple of years. The quad-helix will be for 6 months.

Dentist

I've never been so anxious to go to the dentist. More than a year I'm thinking about an orthodontic treatment. To stubborn when I was 12, I should be lucky having a second chance.

change

The last weeks I didn't feel very comfortable. I am a bit worried about what's going to happen. In December I visited the dentist for an ordinary check. Everything was OK but an appointment was made with a orthodontist. As a consequence of that appointment I now have to make a digital scan of my head. After that the Orthodontist will discuss the options.

I didn't feel very comfortable. So I decided to buy me a laptop. After 6 years it's time to chance things. I hope this gives me more opportunities than with my old PC. I didn't even have DVD/rom on it anymore. Several years ago it stopped.

I also face a change at work. Management thinks that my colleague and I should integrate in the finance-department. It's time for it. Not really different work, but in a more professional setting.
