Principle #5: Make abnormal flow visual. In Operational Excellence, we want every employee to see when or before abnormal flow happens. The idea is that if we rigidly define what normal flow is (as we have done in the first four principles), then we should be able to see when or before abnormal flow happens.

Phentermine is a prescription that helps aid weight-loss and is designed for short-term use with a combination of exercise and a healthy diet. Phentermine is FDA approved but it's currently being studied in combination with other medications for obesity. The first such combination is the appetite suppressant phentermine/topiramate (Qsymia, formerly Qnexa). In 2012, the FDA approved its sale in the United States.
