We have a new contributor to the Lean Blog, a blogger with a unique perspective on lean. He’s working in a research lab and is trying to apply lean and Toyota Production System principles there. Mike is a frequent commenter for other blog posts and I look forward to his posts. If you have questions about lean in science/research, you can post them here or contact him via me and my email link to the left.
