I saw this on the AF website. I'm interested to see if the AF adopts Toyota's Business and Supply practices.

"The TPS fosters safety, quality and cost savings, and as much as it might foster a cost savings, it is much more about job satisfaction, Secretary Wynne said."

Nice article. I know UOT does a lot with teaching TPS strategies. I read an article about them teaching TPS to the LAPD recently.

BTW, I went to school in Pueblo before moving to Torrance; Passed USAFA too many times.

We drove through Pueblo during the blizzard white out conditions last year. You should see how CDOT has torn up I-25 thru the COS in 06 and 07. :tap:

Would probably be a good move for them.
