The Fix What Bugs You Club

Anyone can use Lean, Visual Workplace Tools and Systems Thinking to fix what bugs them. It starts with noticing what bugs you, and having the courage to at least try and fix it. Lots of problems can be fixed with good communication, asking for what you need, arrows, outlines, basic work instructions, moving things so you can reach them and using both common sense and a sense of connection to the whole. It's not always easy, but it sure is simple: FIX WHAT BUGS YOU!
