Have you focused on one or the other more of late? If so, why?

Hello Mike,

I have just joined Focus and am a consutant in Lean. I am not sure if I fully understand your concern/question. But as you might expect, I have some opinions. First, I have found most businesses spend too little time on people issues, particularly when compared to fixed asset issues. I have an article on my website, www.qc-ep.com, it is under FREE STUFF, it is called respect for people, a key underpinning of the Toyota Production System, which explains part of my thoughts on this topic.

Stay in touch,
