Kaizen Song: Ship It

By Jon Miller Published on August 16th, 2006

I’m running low on these. I do recall thinking this one was almost too easy. Enjoy.
Ship It
(to the music of “Whip It” by Devo)
Track that WIP
If you want the parts to ship
Parts on the rack
Some of them are scrap
When takt time comes along
You must ship it
Before the parts sit here too long
You must ship it
While sales are going strong
You must ship it
Now ship it
In the crates
Pack them up
Stack them straight
The easy orders
Have moved ahead
Try to book them
It’s not too late
To ship it
Ship it good
When month end comes around
You must ship it
If we can’t track it down
So we can ship it
We have to expedite it
So we can ship it
I say ship it
Ship it good
