lean manufacturing?
Various mentions I’ve seen recently make me think I should learn more about lean manufacturing. An interesting quote:
Kaizen activities in lean manufacturing often begin with red-tagging, in which all superfluous inventory, tools and rubbish are marked with a red tag and moved into one corner. At the end of a week, if any tagged items haven’t been used, they can safely be disposed of. Perhaps software projects and teams could begin the move to agile by red-tagging tools and code…
This entry from that blog is worth thinking about, too.
