Everyone likes three day weekends and when we do need overtime, people still get plenty of family time. I'll check out your blog. As we have partners in China, it is ofspecial interest. Thanks.

Considering the title of your blog, it does not seem too surprising that I ended up on your blog. The idea of a 4 day, 10h/d week and the arguments for energy savings that go along with it are very interesting. Do you have any data on the energy savings and your factory's productivity by now? I did an internship in a PCB assembly company (one of the largest suppliers for the car industry in the world) a couple of years ago. However, they were working in three shifts, so your approach was no option for them at the time. Nowadays, in the context of the global financial crisis it might become an option for them. My blog is called "Sustainable Manufacturing in China" and accordingly it has a similar focus, that is why I will read through more of your articles and refer to them in my blog. Coincidentally, it was, like yours, created in September 2008 Kind regards Carsten Dear Brad,
