The approach the "old timers" have is generally all Quality related even
though they may not be directly aware of it.I work in an Electronics
manufacturing plant and problems frequently arise that if not solved fairly
quickly result in losses of £100 000s and more in terms of penalty clauses,
lost potential orders etc. Most of the problems are easily solved if you
don't have the "short between the earphones" and to do this you step
back,take a beginners approach and think "what do I know for sure/why do I
think that"-look for human errors and the nearly obvious. a lot of my
colleagues are only college/university trained and as such are not aware of
engineering standards used by the military and nasa,incidentally,these two
standards are only the highest in the world because every aspect of a simple
job has been considered in the light of previous experience and its
results.its surprising how many engineers i know who took up engineering
after reading ZAMM (most have hobbies with motorbikes and canal barges too)
but they haven't ( to my knowledge) found Lila as directly applicable to
their own experience-but ZAMM has been around a lot longer and thus probably
read more.

The recent Capitalism vs. Socialism discussions reminded me of a post from a
few weeks ago in which a new member said something about the MoQ having a
direct impact on his company's bottom line in the way of cost savings. I
think it was manufacturing-related. If that member (I don't remember who)
is
still around I think it would be quite pertinent to have a concrete example
of how the MoQ was implemented into his workplace.
