Quotes to ponder:
“The most dangerous kind of waste is the waste we do not recognize.”
“Rather than guess your user’s future needs, you provide goods and services ‘just in time’ as they’re needed.”
“Rather than anticipating a demand and having something in the pipeline or waiting in the wings, you wait until someone expresses the need and quickly produce the goods based on prior preparation.”
