The only issue is, meetings can sometimes be very challenging as I don\u2019t always get the support and cooperation of everyone attending.\u201d Claudia, a very experienced and highly qualified engineer who had recently been appointed as lean audit manager, said this to me a few weeks ago. Naturally, some team members can feel uncomfortable when their processes and working methods are scrutinized and analyzed.
