“There have been many line changes over the years
and Microns kanban supply system has been the
best part of those changes. It is great to know that
all the parts I need are there and we won’t have
an outage. I’m sold on the system. I wish all our
suppliers would do the same thing.”

“I fired you 5 times before I hired you because of where
you were located. You guys kept clearing each hurdle
in the evaluation process so I was forced to seriously
consider you. When I did I realized I was actually saving
15% compared to when I bought from the other vendors.”

“I received all four installments (of Micron Lean pictures),
thank you! I’ve been bragging about Micron’s various
Lean processes and I wanted some pictures to show my
upper management. I’m hoping to convince them of the
importance of CONTINUOUS lean, and not just a few
here or there. I’m sure you know how that goes
Thanks again for the pictures!”
