| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses a management strategy implented by superintendent Charlie Fultz and his crew at the Shenvalee in New Market, Virginia. Mentions Kaizenm, "a worksplace quality strategy of continual incremental change...[that] aims to eleiminate waste (activities that add cost but do not add value) by taking work processes apart and putting them back together in a better way, and then standardizing with that better method so it can be repeated time after time." Describes the results Fultz achieved, including a savings of 25% of man hours for needed aerification. |
