Lean Implementation confessions

A friend of mine, who also works in a healthcare related job, found a pile of Lean Implementation books in the dumpster at his workplace.  Some were new, still in the cellophane.  Some had a name written on the front cover, but barely used.

I sold them on Amazon, undercutting the price of the all the competitors.


*************************

I am told that the books ended up in the dumpster after a massive Lean Implementation effort, which included sending people to Japan.  Apparently they had money to waste on getting more books than they needed. Apparently the used books weren't valued enough to keep.
