    Thanks to everyone who participated in this morning’s meeting. The team at Clean Burn appreciated the opportunity to share ideas and learn from the group during the 6S audit of the plant. The spirit of “continuous improvement” is alive and well!

    Kudos to the Clean Burn team! It takes some guts to open up your plant to a group of auditors from the outside like that. As Mike says above, the spirit of continuous improvement is alive and well, and that means we have nothing to lose (and everything to gain) by having problems identified.

    Dwight: I’ve said it again and again - this network is a marvelous thing. The sharing and trust continues to grow.
