Here is a blog that links to mine. Can anyone read or translate this for me?
Are there Arabic equivalents of words like “muda”, “kaizen”, and “poka yoke?”
Update: Thanks to Jon Miller for pointing out that the script is Arabic, but the language is Persian. Click on “comments” for a response from the Iranian blogger, Omid.

Omid – That is great that you are translating the lean literature. Jon Miller, who posted above, does a lot of work translating lean material from Japanese to English. I will email him your contact info and will send you a few other names of people who might be able to help you put together workshops.
Just in Time for Operators is an excellent short overview book for lean.
