Personal request — I'm looking for a Dallas/Fort Worth area company that is in an advanced state of lean implementation. (that's quite a flexible definition of what “advanced” means, obviously). West Texas (Lubbock, Midland/Odessa, Abilene, El Paso) or Central Texas (Austin or San Antonio) would also be OK.
Now that I think about it, a Toyota supplier would be ideal, if you're supplying TMMTX.
If you would be willing to, in the future, host a tour group from a hospital, please email me using the email link on the left hand side of the blog.
Please consider this opportunity to contribute to the lean community and to the healthcare world.
Thanks,
Mark

What Healthcare Organization are you representing? :)
Can’t say here, but it’s a bit late anyway.
