Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens on Thursday. I'm not the world's most avid fan of the Star Wars series, although I grew up with the toys. I remember seeing The Empire Strikes Back in a theatre, but I think I was too young to see the first in the series. So, I saw the series out of order (eventually catching up on VHS and seeing the re-releases in theaters).
I know many of you are excited and have pre-ordered tickets (you can also pre-order the 3rd edition of Lean Hospitals, by the way).
On the Star Wars theme, the KaiNexus blog has a funny post:
A Gemba Walk with Yoda: What Can We Learn?
Which includes a good tip for Lean and problem solving:
“You must unlearn what you have learned. Do not assume anything Obi-Wan. Clear your mind must be if you are to discover the real villains behind this plot.” – Yoda
Also, there are many fun Star Wars memes in my LeanMemes.com collection.
Hopefully, this is a fun way to start the week…

Lol, thanks for this. I AM an avid Star Wars fan and Darth Vader being dissappointed in the lack of standard work will now adorn the door to my office :)
Cheers
I finally saw “The Force Awakens” yesterday and really enjoyed it!
