Meeting Abstract:

Many attendees at the last meeting wanted to focus on how to make the bottleneck in our airplane assembly line go faster. So that's where we're going with this meeting.


This will be another highly interactive workshop, so be prepared for a great deal of group participation.


(And for those who didn't attend the last meeting: This workshop stands on its own, so prior participation is not required.)
