Just a short while after Jim Womack's “Lean Consumption” article came out, here's a real life example of Toyota doing lean auto service in India. They say they are applying kaizen techniques and reducing non-value added processes/time. I can't wait for my dealer to do the same!

  1. It took me 45 minutes to have one tire changed the other day. And that was a 7am with nobody else in line. There was a big picture of an Indy car on the wall. I pointed out how quick they take to change a tire. The manager wasn’t impressed with my comment. :)
