Lean is for manufacturing where they do the same thing day in and out. How much have we spent on Lean since the mayor and council started this. There is no reason that City department heads can not go thru their process’s with staff and determine what works and what doesn’t. NO reason to hire and pay a consultant. Maybe if the mayor could get a job he would have a clue on how the world works.
Lean is for manufacturing where people do the same thing day in and out. The City could sit down and look at their process’s without spending thousands of dollars on consultants for this. This is just another attempt by the mayor who can’t find a job and the council wanting to micro-manage.What is the total dollar amount spent on lean and its principles since the City started this.
I worked for a company that brought lean in. employees said LEAN stands for Less Employees Around Now
The original thought behind lean was a good one. It was to create capacity utilizing existing resources to expand the business. It was started in Japan and worked well there. The problem was and is greedy CEO’s and CFO’s used it to cut people which is the fastest way to drive money to the bottom line, so they could guarantee or increase their bonus on the backs of the people.
For sure. Eric hates people with jobs, that’s why he pays our money to buy LEAN. They make him jealous and envious of people with an actual work ethic. Plus, they make him confused. Confused as to why they need jobs when it is so easy to leech off others for free cash.
I am willing to bet that someone dangled lean in front of him. Probably the Chamber. I seriously doubt he is smart enough to understand it on his own.
Who got to go the Hilton Sacramento to the tune of over 4 Grand and why.
Looking at the cost I would say there was more than one person on that trip/ Probably the mayor and one of his henchmen.
From Mary Schissel Youth Task Force Director:
This cost is part of the required training expense for the SAMHSA grant the YTF received. It is budgeted in the grant and is not being paid by City funds. We are sending 5 people from a variety of community sectors (none are YTF staff) to become certified Youth Mental Health First Aid Instructors. We will also be sending 1 more person to training in Oklahoma City in Jan., as they are unable to attend this training. This is a full five day training. They are flying out on a Sunday (classes start at 8:30 AM on Monday morning) and flying back on Friday. (They will get in at 1:30 AM Sat. morning!) The Hilton Arden West in Sacramento is the training location and where we were instructed by the National Council on Behavioral Health to send our people. These Instructors will then teach full-day Youth Mental Health First Aid classes to educators, law enforcement, the faith community, and others who work with youth or are in contact with youth through volunteering at no cost to the YTF over the next 3 years.
Plenty to hold your nose in disgust at in this report, I’d say.
