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.
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.

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
Hi Lynn so my brain has finally caught up and I think its an UK/US accept thing! Are you referring to Kanban boards in the video (we hit those a's hard like can ban) Thanks again for the great content - love that you are putting this out there for others to share.❤
This episode is now training video for my office. I’ve been trying to implement these principles for a long time
