You and I have discussed that the email group, JSLean, has an editorial policy that overtly discourages emphasis on Lean
culture and continuous improvement. Equally puzzling is that the group has also discouraged definition of what is a "job shop".
Especially so when JSLean policy is that what we know as Lean does not apply to job shops. With your permission, I would like to
continue defining or at least reconciling the various public domain definitions of "job shop". Of course I am interested in also
discussing how Lean can be implemented in job shops.
Here is a link to a newspaper article that contains one component of a job shop definition.
"We're what's called a job shop, making one part that goes in someone else's much larger product," Deborah R. Lamb said.
