2 Second Lean started our company on the path to Lean Manufacturing. Every meaningful advance here comes from us adopting the concepts we first learned from Paul. Eliminating waste, building a culture of mutual respect, constant improvement became the core values of our company. When we began, Paul took the time to speak with me several times via Skype while we got our footing, then lost our footing and found it again.

I have a long story, but the short of it is I trained and operated with a lean manufacturing mindset when it was fairly new to the US. I have been out of it for a long time (that is the long story). I worked with several factories producing 100's of millions of dollars using lean to the level Paul is demonstrating with a much higher success rate in all measurements over fancy computer systems the other divisions implemented. Even though the corporation was all profit $$$$$ driven the most successful business units were driven by these principles Paul talks to, including RESPECT. "Just because I'm the boss doesn't give me the right to come in and destroy anyone else's work area." Paul Akers. This interview has excited me again. Many things and ideas are coming back to me. Explosive, I am excited!!! Thank you!!

@carmencarmen6105 2 жыл бұрын

First I want to thank you for these great videos and second I want to felicitate you for this incredible job. This third thing is: I got a job as a QC Tech, in a company that's small but jumping so fast in growth, they have waste ( time waste) but they're not aware of, and me by instinct I can sometimes identify it sometimes it's couple of minutes sometimes is an hour. The shop floor is disorganized if someone is coming from outside this company or even from inside he can get lost in components boxes, product in process, and finished orders. The second waste ( materials) in 80% of cases we can prevent it if we have a vigilant worker who cares about the quality, and the reason behind this lack of motivation is that there is a lack of respect and we don't offer a value to everybody's idea and effort. So almost all workers are just waiting for 4.30pm or Friday. I stressed out these questions and problems to the manager and I want to implement lean, but I have not a solid background in that, I have law background not even in management or industry. But I feel I have lean by instinct I'm always keeping my house clean and keep only what I need to use even when I want to cook I clean everything before I do that. So what do you think and from where I need to start? How I can convince the team or the workers to come up with ideas to make that place enjoyable for all of us because I believe if we're comfortable in our work place we can do more and give more, I hope you take my comment in consideration or anyone here who can give an advice, I would be thankful. Thanks a lot

I have worked in the lean manufacturing environment in Texas for about 10 years building Cabinetry and countertops! It's hard to explain you don't realize you're being mean but it just ends up becoming a way of life I routinely showed up to work 30 minutes early it even starts before I leave my home. The last time I build commercial Cabinetry for the salon industry was in 2013. Since then I have been building templates and doing the field measurements for countertop companies doing Natural Stone. I just took a position as a bench Carpenter for a Millwork company after being out of the game for about 7 years! I just want to say it's extremely tough to transition to a company that does not use the five s's of lean manufacturing!

Still, the concepts discussed in this video are very valuable.

Hi ! I'm a French engineering student in production management, as it I'm learning and experiencing what is Lean management, manufacturing, thinking. One question came to my mind while I was working on Lean manufacturing in small and mid size company was : how to perpetuate Lean in this particular companies ? This video answered me a lots of it I think. Here are a the key points I want to keep in mind : - You are not working for profit but for a customers with needs (JIT) - You are working as a team with respect, keeping the quality of life at its best, and the will of solving problems. - You want to see the problems, see the waste, 3S'ing will benefit this even in the long term. - Last but not least, all of this points touches ALL collaborators, from the direction to the operators.

Nicely done Paul, FastCap and UpFlip. Great camera work & editing. Loaded question: I love your statement "If you make it about money, you lose." So with respect and gratitude - how do you go about setting prices? I used to work for actuarial and it's always amazing to me, how much information goes into a price. Everything is a process and carries risk, cost & demand.

@aleksandertesenkov1421 4 жыл бұрын

It is many ways to set a product price. Lean manufacturing is about production cost and how to minimize it. The FastCap increases its product prices only once in 7 years, but it is profitable. FastCap is looking in a bit different direction: how to make a valuable product a customer is willing to pay for and how to make it profitable by reducing cost. A lean company never produce more than was ordered to minimize the risk of overproduction.

I've spent almost 40 years in industry. Paul Akers is telling the absolute truth. It baffles me as to why more people don't listen to him.

maybe because he talks like an angry old man slightly off his rockers

My dissertation is currently about the impact of lean manufacturing on operational performance of manufacturing firms. I am so excited about this video. However lean is affected by moderating factors in which the firm operates. For instance, I have investigated the lean-performance relationship in the size of the firms, the type of manufacturing firms and the level of economic development

Nice video, explained well about lean implementation and it's benefits. The overall focus is on smooth flow and respect for people, can have feel of that. Other interesting part is the practical implementation of main tools like kanban, visual management, poke yoke, 5s, 7 waste, etc. Overall a interesting video, worth watching...thanks for sharing.
