Managers have made a countless number of costly mistakes which may haverequired rectification. Factories have had a great deal of products that were neither needed norappreciated by the customer and this situation has resulted in overstock of inventories. All theseproblems can be summarized in one word: Waste, what the Japanese manufacturers refer to as“muda.” For many years, there were several attempts to decrease this “muda.” The mostsignificant among these techniques are “lean thinking.” With lean thinking, demand is anticipated and it is the engine that moves the

In the same bent, the MechanicalEngineering program at Montana State University once required students to keep design journals,but abandoned the practice when journal quality became poor. While the faculty intuitively feltthat journals could be valuable to aspiring engineers, especially in design courses, they haddifficulty assessing journals consistently and guiding students in good journaling practice.As part of a larger research effort to better understand student design processes, I proposed re-instituting journals in the senior capstone
