Default

or better yet-

many years ago, I worked for a company that needed to update an aged production line, a critical one that could only be off line for a short time.

they built up some extra inventory, then shut the line down and began the aggressively timed effort.

At one point during the new line's installation, one of the big shots went to the plant to see how everything was progressing. He said when he walked in the plant, there were men working feverishly every where he looked - except one guy, who stood off to the side leaning on a 12lb sledge hammer, who was also watching all the activity. The VP watched the scene for a while until curiosity got the best of him and he went over the the stationary man and asked "what do you do?"

the man looked down at his big hammer, then looked the VP in the eye and replied


"I make things fit"
