B. When TOYOTA do LEAN they don't argue with the outcome that says you need to spend £1.2m or more to make a long term efficiency saving.
C. When TOYOTA do LEAN the top neddies don't say we need to save XX posts during this event.
D. When TOYOTA do LEAN they have a supply chain that can actually deliver components Just In Time rather than Just Too Late or Never at all.
E. TOYOTA don't rob one car on the production line to make another.
When Toyota do F1 they spend more than any other team and still get **** all in the way of results.

When Toyota strive for elitism they fall far, far short in any area that make cars feel special.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of lean, but then I feel whole concept of running the military on business principles is W-R-O-N-G.
