Some of the lean principles and Six Sigma can give me a real headache, but I studied the Kaizen methods a little bit when we were pushing some lean initiatives and found it a lot more doable in our atmosphere. The problem we had is that the company I worked for was more like a giant job shop than a widget manufacturing facility. Most of our standard product lines came out of our Chinese factories while the specials and high end products were made by our factory.
