Welcome everybody!

I am new to this, but I thought that I would give it a try.

In a world where marketers and almost everybody is spreading hype about nearly everything it is getting harder and harder to understand what is the true essence of things that matter to us. Therefore I decided to I can maybe contribute in an area that is of interest to me - namely manufacturing systems. I have been working with and researching in this domain for quite some years now and I am baffled everyday by how people and organizations attempt to solve problems with the latest acronyms. We are always looking for the quick-fix, yet I have noticed that in most cases we are re-inventing the wheel. The Problems and challenges that manufacturing organization face have been the same for quite some years - it is the solutions that change.

So hopefully this blog can start some healthy discussion and exchange of information about this topic. My intent is to voice some opinions in order to start this discussion - hopefully this will work?
