Beeindruckend Micha. Hat sich unglaublich viel getan seitdem ich damals, es muss vor 20 Jahren gewesen sein, ein Praktikum bei dir gemacht habe. Damals hieß deine Firma noch Zack! und Yellowtools war gerade erst in den Kinderschuhen...

[@stefan-bayer]

Great tour- a future video idea could be to show how it all started, to talk about the history of the first products and how the workshop evolved over the years.
At least I would be interested in that- other than that really inspiring workshop tour!

Hey Stefan, thanks for your feedback! We're happy that you enjoyed the video 😃 We definitely plan to do a video about the genesis of Yellotools and how we implemented LEAN over the years 👍

24:58 you might want to look at LocTide Dispensers instead of the bottle. Always ready to use, no Cap, newer too much paste on the screw. 2 secs per screw guaranteed. 🙌

[@janmrlth]

And if you switch to LocTide use the 2400 instead of the 'classic' 243. Same locking, but less toxic(!)

Wow Michael what an awesome team.. thanks so much for sharing, very inspiring

[@edkelley1912]

Thanks so much to both of us. What is a clutter room?

[@Yellotools]

Hey Ed, it's where you store all the stuff you want to sell or get rid of later after optimizing your workplace ;-)

[@jenstoben4718]

Congrats, How do you motivate employees?

[@Yellotools]

Being part of a team that does things differently is a great motivation for our employees: They can discover their individual potential and grow with their tasks. Their daily improvements benefit the entire company and are presented to the whole team. Recognition, appreciation and respect are important motivational aspects of our company's daily business.
