The Discipline of TSM’s

The part of Nash improving efficiencies triggered a time when I was 17 and working at a high volume tire store. It was a time in the 70’s of chrome wheels and wide tires.This was my first job and due to the high volume of customers I had to learn the tire machine and balancer fast and with speed which forced me to think of ways to pick up speed in order to get the customers out and maximize store imcome. I had a hard time in the beginning thinking of improving efficiencies to increase store profit and now I understand more deeply that the mind is not made for that. All I knew at that time was how I can shave seconds off each Nit-Pik movement to increase productivity and profits. It took time and discipline. The more I got the TSM’s to shave off seconds in each movement, it soon became instinctive. And with the combined efforts of the other workers, the store always made top earnings over every other branch. Every employee and the manager was extemely driven to make top earnings over the other branches.
I’m getting back to that point and more; it’s just taken some years in Neothink and getting rid of what I call “Decades of Mental Garbage.”
