I had a bottle of a Sobe "LEAN" juice drink the other day. The "lean" name in the beverage isn't the reason I drink it. I happened to notice a little saying under the cap, "Smarter not Harder." That seems to sum up the Lean/TPS philosophy, not just the beverage philosophy. My camera phone images aren't great, but here you go.

The purpose of this blog is to present news articles and commentary on the following topics: the Toyota Production System, Lean Manufacturing (aka Lean Production or Lean Enterprise), along with new applications of lean such as Lean Healthcare. I also hope that this site will prompt discussion and learning among lean manufacturing practitioners and students (we're all on a lifelong lean learning journey). Thanks for visiting.
I also hope to raise intelligent discussion about the current and future competitive standing of U.S. manufacturing. As an American manufacturing professional, I have a vested interest in this topic. I believe in free trade, but I also believe that all manufacturers should treat employees and workers fairly and humanely, as I believe the Toyota Production System encourages us to do.

Hi Mark,
seems to be that LEAN is possible in every aspect of daily life;-)
For us Lean Thinkers that's quite clear, but what about the others? So top management of that company has got it "smarter not harder".
Regards
Ralf
