The daily, continuous improvements through the morning meetings are impressive. He's correct, you shouldn't have to go to work and struggle all day! Using a simple jig to assemble their brackets is a great example of what can be done. Great work inspiring your team.

Love the way you include the backoffice lads in the podcast. You are all going to be very successful if you keep this up!

I love how they changed the mindset to focus on a company that makes improvements instead of a company that makes chairs. This way they are able to do what they are actually needing to do instead of wasting a ton of time.

While every incremental improvement had a cost (production of a person briefly halted, creation of fixtures or software, equipment bought, signage, etc.), the benefits improve efficiency for every day thereafter. Plus, worker morale and productivity improve which should help keep good workers and avoid turnover. As noted, real benefits are experienced (shorter lead times, less waste, happier customers) which will eventually result in greater sales and profitability. Investing smartly is more than spending on hardware, software, and people, but improving how all of those things are used. So glad to have watched this real life example of lean in action.

Great Breakdown as usual by Ryan. This is the stuff that makes lean sizzle.

This is incredible, "improving the process" is ultimately creative as well.

really organized and well thinking to making a great improvement. Work smart not hard.

Thank you for this. Pocket of Time is a great way to build in reserve capacity to avoid the downsides of 100% utilization.

22:42 Wow, that’s so true!

Really liked this one.Thanks for making this video!

absolutely incredible. livened my morning at my place of work!!! excited to try some of these

Takt is definitely a brilliant concept! I’m wondering how you guys make it visible for everyone. Can you share some thoughts on it? Thanks.

This presentation was flawed. In the batch version 2 people were not employed during the whole process, of course if you have them later on all employed that the customer will receive items faster when 3 people were working for him at any given moment and not just one working while others are waiting. In real life when you are doing batch work each station always has a job to do, the one who starts the order first is the one who begins the next order first. One piece flow can have better efficiency but this was flawed example of showing it.

Absolutely incredible

HUGE !!

Great discussion! Very insightful!

Stream deck is a macro keyboard. As someone who used one for around 7 years as a creator I can recommend them to anything ne

By far this is my favorite.

Great video. Any reason why no part number on kanban ticket or identification label?

Wow this is amazing!

Thanks

Great illustration! Yet so simple! Thanks, Ryan

Love the dice example. That's a keeper.

This demonstration worked because each step required zero setup. For many manufacturing steps, this would fail horribly. If my employees took one item and set up the paint sprayer and loaded it with paint and then painted ONE thing and moved to the next step, we’d fail immediately. The paint sprayer would have to be cleaned out and we’d lose tons of paint. I like the idea here, but sometimes these principles seem presented as a one size fits all, and there is a lot of nuance.

Tremendous video!

Ryan, this video is the best example of one piece flow. I saw and shared many videos related, but this one is super clear, simple and on pont!!!!

Powerful demonstration. Thank you. Would love to see more of these examples and philosophies demonstrated beyond the production realm and 'in the office'. Great job Ryan.

For years, I have worked to shift our production towards a one-piece flow approach. However, certain processes with setup times exceeding five minutes-such as configuring a timber moulder for a specific profile-diminish the benefits of one-piece flow. Products with only a few, same-sized components are also better suited to batching. Despite these limitations, we can still incorporate elements of one-piece flow into our assembly process. For example, packing corrugated boxes one at a time as products are completed reduces the need for stacking and improves efficiency. Even so, I have only managed to achieve a one-piece flow for about 30% of our processes.

Great illustration. Thanks Ryan

I don't remember doing that, but I'm glad you like what you see.

I just started to learn about Lean 3 months ago. I find this video both supremely fascinating and convicting. Convicting because I realize how stubborn and narrow minded I can be towards the process. This really has hit deep and I can say I feel a paradigm shift in my mentality.

Great clarity Ryan. Much needed. Your coaching skills are world class sir!

Paying me weekly is batching! I want to be paid for my work as I complete it.

To make Lean Manufacture, mindset need to change.

Lean gets a bad name when uncaring companies launch it as the next, shiny new thing, but no one cares. Maybe we should start with Love and Respect Does your company love and respect its employees? Do employees love and respect the company in return?" If nobody gives a toot, then Lean is not the next step. Bottom-up is great, but I recommend top-down. Starting in the C-Suite with 5S in shared areas - coffee, copier, etc so LEADers can experience LEAN and demonstrate their buy-in.

Question, I’m trying to introduce a 2 card Kanban in my place of employment for heavily consumed materials by production. We currently issue materials to work orders that use mostly the same items. I stated each card could have a cost center that the material can be charged. Without getting into the weeds, how can I introduce this system to my organization? Great video by the way.

Awesome video! Using it in our morning meeting today! Thanks

Thank you

The whole QR Code thing, is the cellphone inside a company intranet? I mean, what if I wanted to use QR Code but do not want employees sharing the videos with outsiders?

This whole system is obsolete ...ask toyota which used it 30 years ago.

That was a great explanation, and I love how you had good examples of all 3 levels of improvements, all in one area. What I love about this channel is that you don't just explain the "how"; you explain the "why".

Creating an environment where everyone feels comfortable suggesting changes can lead to significant organizational growth.

The "mirror" pronunciation can't get any more Irish than that. Great improvements, kudos from Brazil.

Excellent clarification! Definitely makes a difference!

You articulated an important but often unclear matter clearly. Thank you! Fantastic videos! In our organization, we are in the process of building a lean culture. We have started where it's easiest, namely in production. Our intention is to get all functions involved through the power of good example.

Love it great job, love the video format 👍

Do you have a “Top 5” list of lean books?

"You can label your pens all day long, but sometimes you just need to go and buy the CNC machine." Ryan Tierney Awesome advice, so true.
