Home work for this week  Build your own time line of the history of Lean manufacturing and submit it. Please be sure to make your OWN time line. The webis full of time lines on Lean but I want you to make your own. You may set up your time line any way you like but it should include all the people who played a Significant role in Lean. You may have to do some research but your text will be a good resource as well.

This time line is provided for reference only PLEASE DO NOT COPY IT and turn it back in to me.
