I was checking out the blog server logs and it claims there was a blog visitor from “Iran, Islamic Republic Of”. Yes, that Iran.
They searched MSN for the phrase “lean production toyota” and found my blog. I suppose they would have manufacturing there and that they would want to get better. Interesting.

Let’s work together to build a culture of continuous improvement and psychological safety. If you're a leader looking to create lasting change—not just projects—I help organizations:
- Engage people at all levels in sustainable improvement
- Shift from fear of mistakes to learning from them
- Apply Lean thinking in practical, people-centered ways
Interested in coaching or a keynote talk? Let’s start a conversation.
At least the search term was not: “Lean process to exterminate the infidels”
Or “Applying lean principles to the manufacture of Atomic bombs and other WMDs”
Well that certainly was a brave comment to make Mr. or Ms. Anonymous.
It’s terribly ignorant to think all people there are terrorists. There must be some people trying to live a normal live building products, something we should be able to appreciate as lean people.
Relax Mark,
That was actually a joke specifically targeted at that stereotype.
If that was humor, rememer that sarcasm doesn’t usually come across well via email or text.
It wasn’t very funny.
