you don’t think about something like this until it happens. It’s very important to have a backup person for something as important as payroll.

Comment on Health Savings Accounts by Katty

Great completely unanticipated point about additional savings for employees with more medical work needed. They stop paying the copays after the deductible is met. I never heard of that before. Clearly the market solution works even in healthcare.

Comment on Lean Manufacturing and the 5 M’s by Peter

Great overview!
Don’t forget the roles of the other two M’s in the “7 M’s of manufacturing” - Measurement and Management. Without good benchmarks and accurate metrics to “lean” out the process, measurements during manufacturing could be either superfluous or not comparable. Management needs to understand and support continuous improvement in leaning out processes and support any resulting automation and MES systems proposed for operations that are truly required. Following on to that, management needs to quickly respond and resolve alerts, statistics and data put out by MES automation, e.g., trace-ability, non-conformance detection, and equipment failure or PM alerts. Integrated MES and automation go hand-in-hand and the LEAN processes should show where those MES touch and feedback points are.
