“If we focus on the right things, develop the right habits, give things the right focus, then the results will take care of themselves.”
Paul Dunlop joins us for a second time to drill down into lean processes, measurements, effective communication, and daily production metrics.
Most manufacturers are too heavily focused on the outcome. Instead, focus on the process and measurements that contribute to that outcome. With that, communication and great culture follow.
Join Bryan and Paul as they dive into making processes work for you, understanding what to measure, structuring daily production meetings, and using those processes set to track against your goals.
Lean processes can be applied to virtually any industry, but the important thing to remember is that these processes are more than just tools.
“Lean is and always will be about what’s happening inside of people’s heads, in their brains... “We follow the tools, we follow the process, we follow the dogma, whatever it might be…but lean is fundamentally about people.”
Using real-world examples and tactics you can apply to your business, Paul dives into the world of lean processes, metrics, and even a little bit of psychology. Tune in!
