Jon Miller, Lean Leader

Article Series - Project kaizen Co-Blogging

Jon is the principal writer of the Panta Rei: Everything Flows, Everything Changes weblog on everything lean. While he writes on topics from healthcare to manufacturing, over the last few months he's been sharing his perspective as he studies Taiichi Ohno's book gemba Keiei (previously translated and published as Workplace Management by Norman Bodek's Productivity Press). Jon is reading the book in the original Japanese. He just posted on the 12th out of 37 chapters. You'll appreciate Jon's careful consideration of the relevance of Ohno's work to what we are dealing with in our companies today.

Jon has been a frequent writer on kaizen events. He teaches companies the tools and approaches for doing kaizen and he initially leads kaizen events. I'm counting on big contributions from this gang member!
