    Nice words Ron. It would very useful in order to pass the message if you can include the transcript to read it and understand better the concepts, as you did in the past, since the English is not our first language.

    I know it is an extra work for all of you, but I think as well it would worth.

    A new challenge could be include people from other countries as South America who are practicing the journey of Lean. It would be a way to show that is the only way possible ( for now) that make the Co. grow up.
