Hat tip to my friend, and business partner, Kevin Meyer for pointing me to this inspiring video.

In this video you’ll see Intel’s Site Materials group applying lean manufacturing principles to Albuquerque’s Road-Runner Food Bank. An excellent example of how lean thinking can indeed change the world for the better.

Well done, Intel!

I once worked with a local soup kitchen and found it to be one of the most rewarding projects of my life.
