Can’t wait Brad! Also I’d love to listen to your keynote speech if it’s going to be made available too Please! 🙏

Chapeau! Great stuff - looks like a great organisation 👍

How much does your serves cost approximately a 31K ft building

Simple and effective

My office manager and I have been following along with the all the podcast episodes and these videos and you magically seem to know what we need when we need it! The clarity on the details recently has been fantastic 🏅

Thanks for this episode - Ive been waiting for this kind if detail since the podcast with Beau. Its sooo simple but so powerful 👋 Throughput dollars = sales value less materials right?

Great episode and very insightful. Thanks Brad and Lynn

I want her to work with my wood

question about the pieces per day measurement/point system. How would you recommend setting that up for a custom sign shop where our products vary from a 45 min job to a 2 week job to complete? Would the measurement be $dollar based like the example you mentioned. Or would those 2 week jobs skew the results?

Thank you Lynn & Creative Woodcraft for sharing a bit more detail on this process. Obviously I appreciate you cant go into specifics about their operations but on a general level: how granular are the individual stickies for each person on the Kanban board? Could you give an example please? Likewise the 'horizontal' axis - what kind of categories are there in there as you work from left to right? Just trying to get a feel for where to pitch the process so its neither too macro or micro! Thanks again Lynn!

Agree with James, this was super good and very real. Could you do it again, slower LOL you could do half an hour of this so we can really see what's going on, this was too quick. It's super valuable because it's obviously a real company and not just talking heads on you tube.

Amazing workshop with loads of great visuals Lynn. I’m sure I’m not alone in hoping for a more detailed look at some of the VSM and Kanban work that you’ve done in a situation like this one. I would love to see a future video that gave some more in depth guidance on this of possible. Thanks again to the Quantum Lean Team 🎉

Hi Brad & Lynn. Thanks for another great episode packed with great practical advice for someone like me just starting out on a lean journey. I have a couple of questions on the points you discussed today. 1st is Brads defect categories - we make custom kitchens in Europe in a small shop with 10 people in the factory, 4 in the office and 4 in the sales/showrooms so I guess our defects would have some cross over - would you be happy to share so I can understand how granular you are with this please? 2nd when you are discussing checking to see if the effect is at the bottleneck/control point and whether you are seeing a change: are you measuring this in the same way (same metrics) as the other metrics you discuss here (points/dollars/units) or in some other way? For instance are you counting the number of openings in a cabinet for measuring at your control point same as you were discussing? Thanks again - so grateful for this 👍

I used to work here it is really bad , a lot of stress, pressure

I just worked here and is a lot of pressure, a lot of stress .

Hello. I’m trying to introduce this system to my current employer. What would be your recommendation for heavily consumed items? Please advise thanks.

I have worked in the Sign Industry for almost 40 years. This is the second video from you that I have watched. I can't find anybody in the sign Industry that talks about LEAN. Everything you talk about applies to the sign industry also. I like the concept of the invisible Factory from the other video. The Invisible Factory in a sign shop can take months or sometimes years to get a project to the shop floor and then they expect the shop to knock it out in a couple of weeks. Sometimes a sign will make it to the paint shop and then we have to wait for the customer to approve paint colors. Getting good surveys for signage or building facades can be challenging also and the Invisible Factory does not know how important or critical an accurate survey is. Keep up the good work you have a new subscriber.

this will be my next video in my office training, Thank you Brad, Dustin

This episode is now training video for my office. I’ve been trying to implement these principles for a long time

Brad - Great insights!!!!!

HI there - loved this episode, As a business owner based in the UK everything rang very true here too obviously! I was interested in the comom? combom? boards for daily planning in the hidden factory but I am not familiar with the name. Can you please tell me a little more detail so I can do some research please? Thanks

I really think this has a major factor in company success in flows in preproduction processes and the end result of customer satisfaction against expectations.

Is there a link to the podcast? Thanks in advance

Thank you for sharing this wisdom guys! Y'all are on point!

This is all so valuable and painfully spot on.

Love it guys - fantastic work!!

Great video, very true statements

Great job Lynn and Brad describing that front end process, preparation, what you refer to as the hidden factory, and how it can be a companies constraint. The most intriguing part of this episode for me was when Lynn started talking about the gate between preparation and production, and how there might need to be a buffer there. In my 23 years of manufacturing, I found that to be absolutely true, and to be the very best way to protect my delivery dates. Gates are to keep things in AND to keep things out, so this gate between preparation and production, managed well, will keep the folks in preparation from releasing too soon, and the folks in production from snatching too soon. Even more helpful is it provides a little visibility for preparation as to what does “full kit” look like, and how do we know when full kit has been reached. Thanks for a very insightful topic that was approached from an incredibly relaxed solution based approach rather than revealing a mysterious problem that you can have the revealed solution only if you call BR549. Also, great job on the videography.

You are amazing, down to earth and practical. I LOVE IT!!!!!

You need a totally open rectangular building with overhead bridge crane type hoists in major lift areas, you need convers,manual roller type to move parts from on operation to the next.employes should be trained to be able to move around as needed except maybe cabinet makers doing custom work,they should have their own area for the most part.do you people use the dowel pin type designs? Everyone should be able to communicate verbally to save time.open floor plan

I just noticed your shirt says no standard no kaizen. What does that mean as we do Kaizen events at my place of employment and nothing comes out of them.

Question Boss, so when the kanban is replenished. What type of transaction is preformed to take the material out of live stock?

Great interview. I'm also looking forward to the addition of the B-roll. Checked out the Hunter Trim & Cabinet Shop Tour video all I can say is WOW!

Brad, This information is invaluable! I'm glad to see a fellow woodworker making these videos, bringing to light all the essential knowledge we need to be successful. This interview with Joseph is excellent-one of the best I've ever seen on the topic of creating standards. See you at IWF next week! A Ward Design

Great episode with a lot of great information.. except - 29:30 on allowing an employee to choose whether or not they participate (which is their choice) and waiting for them to “self select” out. If they don’t participate, it creates an exception to the rule and others will ask why you hold different standards/requirements for different people. I believe that will tear a team and culture apart especially if you are just starting to implement lean. They should participate or choose to leave. If they choose to not participate but want to stay then you have to have a conversation and tell them they need to go. You can’t allow them to stay and not participate in my opinion.

First to view! First to comment! 😛 -Jerry

Another great episode that keep getting better. Thanks Brad and Dustin

The description of the “line” was absolutely beautiful. Would love a B-roll of this set up, capturing the perfect world; showing people or stations supporting up and down the line. Absolutely brilliant, and motivating.

What are you using (software and hardware) for your production timers? Can that software also calculate the necessary takt time?

This... is incredible. It is going to change my entire kitchen inventory as a SAHM.

Great results, and just is the starting. Waiting for the next video

How can I get included on the WhatsApp group of Quantum Lean??? My BOSS is in it, but i would love to share with all of You our improvments

Love it!

very nice

Very, very interesting, you are talking about melamine but call it TFL, no one calls it TFl but that's what it is!!!! I don't make melamine cabinets any more, I make cabinets from TFL.

Josh mentiones Kaizen-ify (?) while talking about the pallet rack. Does anybody happen to have a link? I think I'm spelling it wrong on google.

Manually??

Your absolutely right, people often misunderstand 1 piece flow. It is something to strive towards NOT something to be implement outright. That makes about as much sense as walking into the gym for the first time ever and immediately trying to bench press 1,000 pounds. Thank you for explaining and demonstrating these concepts in such detail. The transformation you helped them realize was fascinating. Thank you for sharing!

I am so pleased you two have produced this video it is just deep enough to touch the core of my business, it gave me focus and a deep sense on how to prioritize my business plan. Thank you both so much

Love it thanks Josh and Brad
