Jeff Fuchs' presentation on Optimization Through Toyota Kata was an overwhelming success.  The 20 attendees rated the speaker and presentation with one of the highest scores in all of our recordkeeping.

Here are a few notes from the presentation:

Kata - routine thinking/actions; practiced routines that a second nature, "muscle memory", a lifetime of habit

Kaizen

• kai = change
  
• zen - good

Good definition
Everybody
Every day
Systematically
Solving Problems

DAILY continuous improvement - small changes every day make big differences

"Easier to act your way into a new way of thinking, instead of thinking your way into a new way of acting"
