The best ever video I have watched in my life. I was making a presentation on Lean for a training session, but now I realize where we have gone wrong! I simply deleted the whole set of slides which was filled with Lean tools which makes lean so complicated. Instead I found some great videos and bunch of exercises for my students to understand lean.

Hi Paul! Stunning video presentation above and have learned from every video viewed. I believe my dear Father was natural Lean in personality and work ethic. I have a poignant remembrance as a youngster growing up on a wheat ranch in eastern Oregon (dad was a John Deere man :). I was struggling one day and implored of my dad, "Dad I can't work any harder". He looked down at me an stated calmly, "it's not about working harder, but working smarter: This was an epiphany to me as a child and has stayed with me my whole life as well as other sound proverbs he taught me. I am 59 and would have loved to work for you or a company based on this philosophy. Since I am already employed at a job I love, I will employ 'Lean' principles to make my job simpler, smarter, with less 'waste' and also becoming a more productive employee with the bottom line of serving 'my customers' which are the students and staff I love. Thank you!

Well I couldn't agree with you more about restaurants being wasteful. I think it is fantastic that you have found a way to continuously improve. I'd love to see a video of those improvements. Paul

Thank you for this inspiring video to take charge of change using the Lean concept. Lean can be used in our ways of thinking, cutting waste in movement be it human or mechanic and in any area of your life. Like the video says, improvements in anything. When Lean is backed with the juices of creativity and backed by sheer determination, amazing results happen.

Hi Paul.. first, happy holidays season!; second, I should say that watching some of your videos reaffirms the fact that the are always cool guys to interact and work with. And not only because of the "lean philosophy" (which I consider is one of the most useful ones in general), but also for the "sharing/teaching philosophy" so that more people seize the experience and knowledge.. I am studying a postgraduate course at the moment in Liverpool, UK, but I am from Guanajuato-Mexico, so if you happen to have some businesses or work-acquaintances around these places please let me know, as I consider it interesting getting to know more people, and moreover working with that people, that share ideas like yours.

First View! First Comment! So far the video is great. Spelling error in the description Love fastcap!

It is really good to see the improvements done to machines ( like in CNC machine and printer thing).But, there is a one negative thing I see in those improvements. For an example, is the printer tray is designed in a way as it can bear with the stress which is applied by the cable? in the CNC machine, did you think about the safety and how the improvement long term effect the relevant system of the machine? sometimes, if something happens to the machine because of improvement, warranty does not cover it.

Sergio don't think of lean in terms of specific to any one industry. The lean philosophy is basically - see waste - eliminate waste thought daily continuous improvement - everything you do is a process. - all processes are filled with Waste If you give me any process in any service industry I will immediately be able to identify the waste and show you how lean apply. The reason why I can do that is because I understand what waste looks like that is the key. Once you begin to see waste you can't unsee it it's everywhere!!!!!

in India we have huge and heavy waste all across. with this methods we would further improvise our economy.
