Our hearts and thoughts go out to the Japanese people in their time of need after the terrible disaster they experienced in first the earthquake and then the tsunami. The images of that powerful wave of sea water rushing in and sweeping up everything in its path were overwhelming. The awesome destructive force of the tsunami was incomprehensible.
The Lean movement owes much of its roots to Toyota and to the Japanese people. Lean and Japan have always had a special bond.
As we were taught, Lean is based on a few key principles:
- Respect for Humanity
- Elimination of Waste
- Continuous Improvement
We urge you to join us and Lean Pathways in respecting our Lean roots by supporting the disaster relief effort in Japan by donating to the Red Cross Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami relief fund. You can access it through the attached link: http://www.redcross.org/ by going to the link on the Lean Systems home page.
Thanks for your support
Al & Pascal
