I met with John Bers of Vanderbilt's Engineering department. As a part of their Engineering Management program they are offering teams of students to help local business and industry with process improvement. I hear business say that they don't have time follow improvement methodology’s; now you don't have an excuse, someone is offering free help. Take a look at the link to the invitation and if you are interested contact John Bers john.a.bers@vanderbilt.edu. E-mail me back to let me know how this works out, other members may be interested.

thanks, Ken
