Fascinating piece from The Associated Press the other day that detailed how, when General Mills wanted to get faster and more efficient in its plants, it turned to a NASCAR pit crew to teach them about speed and effectiveness.
That move came after General Mills had gotten tips from a SWAT team and a group of mechanics who repair stealth bombers.
