I am getting ready to take the plunge face first into Lean Manufacturing. Would like to feel that others have had success. If not, I would like to hear the horror stories.
Anyone doing Lean Manufacturing?

You might have better luck with the listserve at NWLEAN.NET. This is the website for the North West Lean Manufacturing group. I found it to be an excellent resource for information regarding Lean.
