Team

Are you a team leader? Or are you a member of a team? Is there a difference, really? At some point in time there may have to be a difference but 90% of the time there shouln't be.

You are a dreamer! Says you! Part of being a team member is to work to solve solutions as a unified body. Solutions that work to improve the team as a whole. So I ask, is there such a thing as a "bad" idea? I say no. There are just some ideas that may not work as well as others. THose ideas may pertain to measures that need to be taken for the sake of quality, or processes that may need to be changed in order to improve quality or reduce cycle time.

When these suggestions are made by team members do we pass them off as "stupid" because it is someone who has never run a machine? Or maybe it is because the teammamber is not an MBA. Whatever the case these bias can not exist if your facility is to be trully world class. Quite honestly in order to compete on a global scale every avenue must be explored in order to hold down cost and improve products. But remember this one point. Find out what good enough is and be alittle better. Not alot just alittle. We need to realize our customers may not find value in what we perceive valuable.
