Besides having conversations with Operations leaders, we also have conversations with Subject Matter Experts on issues, technologies, and trends that greatly impact manufacturing.
And there are few trends as important today as the focus on sustainability.
Today it is my pleasure to present my conversation with Nigel Lenegan.
Nigel is the Executive Director at Energy & Carbon Reduction Solutions. He has over 15 years of experience helping pharmaceutical companies to minimize their carbon footprint and executing other sustainability projects that reduce energy consumption.
Nigel started his Pharmaceutical industry career 30 years ago as an apprentice in AstraZeneca and later specialized in engineering and building facilities and cleanrooms for pharmaceutical companies.
Nigel shares how companies in all industries can and should accelerate their sustainability efforts by reducing energy consumption and their CO2 emissions BEFORE they invest in expensive solutions on the energy supply side.
We talk about why Operations Leaders should act TODAY on sustainability, rather than sometime in the future, and about the role of Frontline Workers in sustainability efforts.

You might be wondering:
Who is this guy?
What does he know about manufacturing, or lean, or technology?
Why should HE be the host of this show and not me?
What kind of name is Errette, anyway?
Don't worry, I have you covered.
From working in leading industrial companies like Toyota, Airbus, and Eurocopter, to the startups of Silicon Valley, this mix of experience provides an unusual result.
Welcome to The Next Frontline: The Future of Manufacturing, Operational Excellence, Industry 4.0, and the People building it
You might be wondering: is this podcast worth my time?
Great question! I would ask the same, which is why I made this episode, so you can decide whether you want to continue listening or not.
IF you are an Operations Leader: a Plant Manager, a VP or Director of Operations, Head of Supply Chain, VP of Digital Transformation
AND: if you love the ideas behind Operational Excellence in all their shapes like TPS, Lean, Six Sigma, TPM... especially, the central role that people have in this (meaning: you don't seek to generate savings just by firing people)
AND: you just like to explore new technology and trends
THEN: YES, absolutely, this podcast is for you!
