Heidi Julavits Quotes
I tell myself it's a virtue, my failure to sleep in my own house, or at all.

Which is my greatest night fear. Which is why I hunt. I don't ever want to be more alive than they are.

There is an explanation to these companies’ failure to implement Lean; an explanation that is apparent to any objective observer of a company like Hitachi Tool Engineering. The failure is due to the fundamental difference in the production environments. When Taiichi Ohno developed TPS, he didn’t do it in the abstract; he developed it for his company. It is no wonder that the powerful application that Ohno developed might not work in fundamentally different production environments.
