Painting, sewing, knitting, creating… the creative impulse has its definite rewards! The act of making something new and original is both stimulating for the mind and nourishing for the spirit, even when times are bad. Especially when times are bad!
The current economic climate has millions of American making sacrifices, and the temptation for many is to abstain from their arts and crafts diversion as a way of saving money. In truth, art supplies and materials are some of the most cost-effective entertainment options available.

When a famous bank robber was asked, why did you rob the bank? His answer was well there is where the money is. He was wrong on several points.
- No1. Banks are not the source of money
- No2. You must attain your money in an honest way. By the way, let me quickly share one more myth. Making money is not = Honesty x Hard Working,
The astonishing Truth # 1 is: Make money fast = (Honesty x Hard Working)^ strategy
I could strongly disagree with Thomas Jefferson, third president on US remark “I have never seen men’s honesty to increase their riches”. Mr. Jefferson mostly mentioned the part of people who takes the back alleys and shortcuts. However, I could oppose him saying “Mr. Jefferson, you should have used seldom, rather than never”. Being honest, the game just becomes slightly difficult, but it’s quite doable still. To me honesty is the other name of living. I have done, and I have seen lots of people making money from home and accumulating fortune honestly.

We Have a Problem!
There was no doubt that improvements were needed at Brown Fintube. No systematic method of planning or scheduling was in place and jobs were accepted without regard to capacity or loading. Consequently, we were not able to accurately predict shipment dates for contracts and never knew when a job was going to be late until it was late. Our on-time delivery performance to meet original promise dates was dismal (in the low 40% range). Designs and drawings were too often late getting to the shop because we were unable to provide Mechanical Engineering and Drafting with real need dates. There was confusion on the shop floor about how to prioritize jobs. In order to compensate for problems and still attempt to meet ship dates, overtime and intense expediting was necessary. Each month began from scratch. By the end of the month, the floor was clean and there was no new work in progress.
Because we couldn’t accurately anticipate or account for variation in the process, we were unable to correctly predict revenue or forecast late shipment of jobs for any current month. We were able to meet customer needs, but only through last minute, heroic efforts by the organization. We realized that, like so many long-time manufacturers, our order fulfillment process was out of sync. In order to bring our system under control, planning and execution needed improvement. The operations group proposed implementation of a formal scheduling system using drum-buffer-rope (DBR), a Theory of Constraints (ToC) solution.
