It's a fascinating world of like, you know, W.E.

Deming is the kind of business philosopher of quality.

He's written a lot on statistical process control and creating even flow processes.

through a system that you don't want to have these spikes of flow because it makes planning really hard and labor and assets or people become idle.

You don't want any variance.

Yeah.

Eliminating variance is like Lean Six Sigma type stuff.

It's one of these things that doesn't come naturally to me.

So I'm like trying to study it and take an interest in it, but it's not my natural forte to go deep on this area.

I do find it quite interesting.

Intellectually stimulating, but it's not like my training and background.

A little bit, yeah.

I mean, the Toyota production system, I think there's like two companies that have taken it really, really seriously and advanced it in the United States.

One is Amazon and one is Donaher Manufacturing Company.

The idea is...

A couple of things.

One is one things that we do that is very Toyota production system like is in the Toyota production system.

And I've never been to Toyota.

I got a proper tour of this.
