A soap manufacturer in Japan received a complaint from a consumer that she received an empty box. An internal investigation revealed that once in a while, for reasons the company engineers could not explain, an empty box got through.
while management worked on a long term fix, a group of engineers were told to devise a way to prevent any empty boxes being shipped out. This was an expensive, high tech, scanning devise, causing a big inconvenience in production.
In the meantime, one of the line workers took it upon himself to rig up a temporary solution, while the engineers worked at perfecting their scanning equipment.
He placed a fan near the conveyor belt, where the sealed boxes came out.
Any empty boxes passing in front of the fan were simply blown off the line!!!!!!

Great reminder to KISS, keep it simple stupid. I just don’t like the word stupid, never have, but the concept stands.

Mindfulness is extremely simple, basic
Not easy, a learned skill
As you say KISS
