Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform (or pause and reflect).” Mark Twain

Andon is a Japanese manufacturing term referring to a system to notify management, maintenance, and other workers of a quality or process problem.

It is a process that allows any worker at any time to press a button or use the pull cord to activate an alert that something is wrong. It was a means to improve productivity.

I think there is an important lesson as it relates to life. We often get so caught up in the business of life that we don't pause to reflect and reassess. We also go about dealing with our troubles without the courage to ask for help.Enjoy this thought!
