  Top 10 signs that you might need Lean….10.  You can’t leave the building you work in without employees calling asking you what to do (including evenings, weekends and holidays).

9.   You don’t smile anymore because you’ve cancelled more than 3 dentist appointments because there was a crisis at work.

8.    You’ve spent more than 10 minutes looking for materials that were “right there” yesterday.

7.    You think it’s OK when your order’s wrong at a fast food place.  You couldn’t expect something so complicated to be right the first time.

6.   You’ve been late for work because you can’t find two socks that make a pair.

5.   When something goes wrong, “Who’s to blame?” is the first question that’s asked.

4.    You run enormous lot sizes because it takes so long to change equipment over.

3.   There’s inventory everywhere - it’s just usually the wrong stuff.  (See number 4.)

2.    You solve the same problems over and over again.

1.    There just don’t seem to be any good employees.
