I really thought LEAN was just another fad, but seeing this guy make it work makes so much sense to me! Thanks for taking it out of the seminar and putting it into the real physical world. Thank you John for telling his story!
Love how dialed in this guy is. He is clearly very intelligent and very well organized. Hardest part of lean is while in the midst of all the chaos of trying to get the day to day work done to carve out the time to do this stuff and have the foresight to know that there is a payoff if you do it.
That's why 3-Sing in the mornings is the best system. Building standards at the beginning of the day, before the chaos actually starts puts you in a particular mindset that will have you continuing that process throughout the day. It's not something you implement or achieve overnight. Kaizen=continuous improvement. Not an instant fix to all that ails you. :)
briancnc We didn't achieve this overnight. Lean is simply a collection of small incremental improvements. Just start small like sweeping in the morning and creating a spot for just 1 tool every day.
The beauty of lean is that it doesn't have to applied to just machining parts or in the production sections of business. I've been slowly trying to implement lean at my job were we do PC and mobile repair. We still use and have to order parts as well schedule jobs to be accomplished; overall making sure all tasks are completed in a timely fashion. Yes it is a very OCD and pain of a process to setup and figure out in the beginning - But the standardization and forward-moving flow you receive at the end is totally worth the effort you've placed in to it. Great job setting up a very successful business with minimal employee overhead Pierson Workholding! ( I simply love to watch your videos NYC CNC because you give me such great ideas that are applicable in all sections of business; and they're never over the top; simple ideas to make day to day work life easier in the end! )
GimmilFactory I finally got rid of all my socks that aren't the standard one make/model. I eliminated pairing of socks from my laundry routine and now all socks are just one fairly small pile in the sock drawer. to go on my feet I just grab any two socks. when one sock gets a hole or gets lost its only one, not a pair that is lost. indeed, lean isn't just for work :)
Honestly this video just made me feel calm by watching it. As a small shop owner and operator it highlighted some really great methods of streamlining things. I've been trying to implement many of these practices piece by piece, each one makes a big difference to general efficiency and peace of mind.
This is RUclips gold ! Thank you John for posting, and thank you Jay for talking us through your shop. Love your approach and attitude - keep it up. Those 28 minutes just flew by . . . I'm just a hobby machinist in my garage but still like to keep it as tidy and organised as possible. Everything needs a place, lighting needs to be nice, I just don't get those dark grimy places that some machinists seem to live in. Well done and regards UK.
I've been trying to try do the ''3 things'' method. I saw it on Wranglerstar's channel. basically every time you walk by the bench or whatever pick up three things and put them in their designated place. I haven't really been doing this, need to starts.
Very cool. I started on the lean journey in 1984 and it is actually so much fun. You are never done and that is part of the fun. There is always something to improve. You are always learning and being challenged in a good way. The two words that I hold dear are respect and value. It is all about finding the value and then adding to it. It come in layers and small increments but the payoff is huge in terms of your business, business family, you and your family. Best wishes on your own journey.
I watched this video, just mesmerized the whole time, and at the end of it I looked down and saw the 54 dislikes and I just can’t imagine the type of person who would dislike something as beautiful as this video and the two guys just loving their work and living their best life. First video I’ve seen of them and won’t be my last.
This video explains Lean better than the entire graduate level class on lean I took a few years ago. This should be used in every business model from the ground up.
Not often ya see somebody presenting Lean that ya don't want to hit with a shovel, but here it is. Well done at every level, and an excellent shop tour to boot.
I know this is an older video, but there is still A LOT of very good information here. When I was in charge of a group of routers, I came into it with people doing 6-8 setups a night and a complete clusterfuck disaster of tool and material storage/staging. Once I got everyone on board with it, we increased production by just over 30%. The most impressive was that we almost completely eliminated re-work. It was tough to get everyone to work together on it.
Excellent execution! In my similar pursuit - I discovered that getting the people to buy into the plan can be the hardest part. This guy has done an amazing job of identifying the challenges, creating a solution, and getting the people to join in. Well done.
Jay was a huge help in getting our dice boxes from being manually cut on a router to be a fully CNC process. Funny thing is I never knew Jay was the owner, I though he was one of the sales staff. Super down to earth guy. Pierson makes great stuff. Can't recommend them highly enough.
I can't believe I missed this video! I saw it come out and never found the time to watch. Truly amazing, especially that Job Routing Board. Such a lean shop, awesome!
Awesome embracing of lean. The key message/reality: You have to learn how to make Lean work for you - don't push a square peg into a round hole. Great Video. Thanks for sharing!
Following you and Pierson for a little while know but happened upon this older video while doing some research for my team. Still holds up incredibly well and man - Jay and his team get it at a really high level and clearly respect each other, themselves, and the process! SO AWESOME.
One of the problems with lean is that companies don't understand what it is. They think lean = trim the fat = spend as little as possible and pay crap wages. They keep maintenance nightmare machines from the early 90s, never upgrade their tooling technologies, never update their machining strategies, never upgrade their programming technologies and rather than hiring clever people who can help improve the process...they simply standardize the process with no plans to improve. Then they hire people who will work for bottom dollar to push the green button. Oh, and the biggest sin of all is that they think employee downtime is costing them money so they'll intentionally avoid doing things like deburring in the machine so the employee will look busy during the cycle. Even at the expense of spindle down time which is MUCH more costly. They'll build cheap fixtures which take far too long to setup and they skimp on tools and techniques that make setups faster. That's not lean manufacturing...that's just plain stupidity. Invest in the equipment, tooling, software, etc you need to get the job done efficiently. Streamline your process to reduce spindle downtime. Keep things organized and clean. Keep materials and tools close to where they're used (The machines don't move...why not store raw materials near them?). Take care of your employees and they will gladly take care of you.
Kenneth Higley Yes most companies don't know what it means. In a nutshell, Lean is the ability to see and eliminate waste (8 wastes to be exact) through continual improvement.
How can one person be this calm and smart? For Jay to established this effective system is amazing. He may or may not have done precisely everything, but still his leadership to get it all in place is what made it happen regardless. Really appreciative of him to share. Many thanks. Didn't think that a Minimill and the Toolroom Mill would as effective as they were shown. Reasonably cheap machines. The features in the controller are overpriced though.
This motivated me as a plant manager so much I want to sit on the beach and stare at a sunset thinking about how my life has just been successfully changed forever.
Pierson Workholding, your shop is so dialed! Thanks for doing the interview. I'm going to suggest at least two of these ideas to my boss once I get to work next. Thanks a ton!
Any tips for sourcing components at reasonable prices dispite limited competition? I have a bulk supplier that would not even go below online shop prices when I want to buy many components for production. I could buy them on Alibaba but I have no quality assurance there.
I have used his pallet changer on my 1100 from day one. Ordered it before 1100 was delivered. Nice to see his operation. Best Line: "He is a job shop with one customer"
This is probably my all time favorite video that you've done so far John!!! Huge thanks to Jay for sharing all of this info and inside look into his company! It really lays out an awesomely efficient way to run a business. Thanks again!!
John thank you for doing these shop tours! I always learn something and they are well worth the time to sit and watch them start to end. I just looked over at my white board and already my gear are turing on what I need to do to make it more better! Please do many more!
Lean, 5S Kaizan, Continuous Improvement... The hardest thing about it is getting people to adhere to it or change their ways. Seeing this place, having been Lean oriented from the get-go, is pretty damn impressive. Cleaner and more coordinated than some Aerospace and Nuclear shops I've worked in. That cleaning in the morning part is nice too, and makes sense. Check your levels and cutters and get things prepped for the day while you have your coffee and wake up.
Lean makes sense when used sensibly. This is the perfect example of that process....trouble is that many companies have been using it as a tool to beat their people over the head with and make short sighted decisions based on it. Managerial motivation and experience are a huge key to making it work.
Now THAT is a well run american shop! Excellent concepts and execution and what a cool self-made business story. Extremely good job Jay and as always thanks for sharing the knowledge John.
So awesome to see this before I am doing any sort of serious production! Going to get setup to do it right from the start. Thanks Jay for sharing and John for putting it all together.
It reminds me more of an electronics assembly line than a machine shop. Much better looking place to work than the average shop, that chaos wears on a guy.
Fantastic video. I love the video's you do which are more about the how to have a well run business. It's great that there are so many people like yourself and Jay who are willing to be so open about their businesses. Feeling inspired!
You hit the nail on the head with your comment about why some people have been turned off of lean. I worked in a large tier 1 producer for the Auto industry and the way they implemented Kaizen and the rest just added extra work without improving anything. I have to admit that I still hate the japanese terms for all the stuff, mainly because I associate it with the stupid way it was implemented the first place I encountered them. Everything shown in this video seems well implemented and makes life easier for everyone involved. A major part of this boils down to getting rid of clutter, a place for everything and everything in its place.
Well, hard to tell more good than has already been of this absolutely essential video... You guys are incredible and we owe you both so much for sharing so much value in such a condensed and entertaining way, and for free 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Oh, and if you ever want to make a little addition to go into just a little more detail about these boards at the end and the processes they embed... Please don't refrain! 😜
i think viewers are more envy than note-taking here lol, it's soooo much harder to implement a system like this in a regular job shop or other fast-changing manufacturing environment having a great product line like Pierson's is hugely conducive to lean manufacturing activities and implementation not to disparage the ingenuity here at all though, Jay is clearly an extremely intelligent machinist and shop engineer...those part picker and affordable crane systems are just amazing
This was an amazing video! Thank you John and Jay. I love the work boards, it's organisation at it's peak, well done. When the video finished, I was hooked and wished there was more 😁
Wow, amazing video. Lean is great, when you use it be productive and don't go over. Hmmmm, 3 S instead of 5 S, great idea. I like the work flow and Jay seems like an awesome person to work with or for. Super creative. Just amazing.
Hi John, great video once again! However i would suggest you suggest in a lapel mic for when you do these shop tours. It gets difficult to hear whats being said when the guide turns away. The lapel mic will also help reduce background noise. Looking forward to widget wednesday!
9:15 As to Jay's comment about Dovetailing a "0" Op. I see the logic of it. Many of the Dovetail fixtures I see, are rather slim in design. You can typically run a larger part on smaller machines, and or use shorter tools, and feed faster. Which make up for lost time making the dovetail. It really comes to a simple scenario for a particular part whether or not if the machine time can be improved that beats the time to make the dovetail in the first place. If it technically doesn't, than that Pre- Op can be nixed.
Whose job is it to update the magnet board? If the visual inventory system (cards between inventory is brilliant btw) is low, who is responsible for making sure the magnet moves over? Fantastic tour John, thank you!
i like how he says "we" and "co-workers" theres alot of respect there
I really thought LEAN was just another fad, but seeing this guy make it work makes so much sense to me! Thanks for taking it out of the seminar and putting it into the real physical world. Thank you John for telling his story!

I finally got rid of all my socks that aren't the standard one make/model. I eliminated pairing of socks from my laundry routine and now all socks are just one fairly small pile in the sock drawer. to go on my feet I just grab any two socks. when one sock gets a hole or gets lost its only one, not a pair that is lost.
indeed, lean isn't just for work :)

Jay, after 40 yrs. of doing it 'my way or the Hy-way' I look forward to implementing the process as our boss. Thank you.
this is the kinda place i wanna work, small shop, incredibly organised.

Your comments at the end hit the nail on the head regarding lean, 5S and 6σ.
I always clean in the morning, it honestly helps me start my day
Excellent execution! In my similar pursuit - I discovered that getting the people to buy into the plan can be the hardest part. This guy has done an amazing job of identifying the challenges, creating a solution, and getting the people to join in. Well done.

oh and jay, i'm straight up stealing your white board. that is pure genius.
Hey Charlie! Good to hear from you and thanks for the kind words. And please, feel free to steal any of my ideas :)
I can't believe I missed this video! I saw it come out and never found the time to watch. Truly amazing, especially that Job Routing Board. Such a lean shop, awesome!
he automates the entire process. I love it. the machines are doing all the work.
Wealth of knowledge here, thanks guys!
Awesome embracing of lean. The key message/reality: You have to learn how to make Lean work for you - don't push a square peg into a round hole. Great Video. Thanks for sharing!
Nice organized little shop that little Doosan lathe is the jewel of the shop Jay really has a good head on his shoulders.
Omg this production board is so genius and yet simple
Following you and Pierson for a little while know but happened upon this older video while doing some research for my team. Still holds up incredibly well and man - Jay and his team get it at a really high level and clearly respect each other, themselves, and the process! SO AWESOME.

THIS.
If good ideas are brought to management they see it as a threat.
Spot on !!
Please do more of these tours and videos! This is awesome! Give us more!
Awesome......congrats to you Pierson Workholding! So neat, so organized, so clean, so smart......thank you for the tour!

That automation setup with the vacuum / finish stack is wicked! Real creative way to use the machine, I have never seen something like this before!
I love the board idea at the end the most! This was great! Thanks!
thank you for this awesome video. and thank you to the guy that took us on the tour!
We ordered the quick change speed pallet system today! Can't wait to get it in! Great pricing on all their products.
Pierson Workholding, your shop is so dialed! Thanks for doing the interview. I'm going to suggest at least two of these ideas to my boss once I get to work next. Thanks a ton!
Any tips for sourcing components at reasonable prices dispite limited competition? I have a bulk supplier that would not even go below online shop prices when I want to buy many components for production. I could buy them on Alibaba but I have no quality assurance there.
You can absolutely create QA agreements with Alibaba suppliers.
Great video! Between you two guys you could rule the world
Just re-watched this one. Interesting and inspiring!
i want to like this many more times. thanks for taking the time to put this together John and cheers to Jay for sharing your awesomeness.

That was a good intro for me into a real Lean shop! Thank you for all the help and great videos!
John thank you for doing these shop tours! I always learn something and they are well worth the time to sit and watch them start to end. I just looked over at my white board and already my gear are turing on what I need to do to make it more better! Please do many more!
Great video, probably the best example I have seen of proper lean.
One of the best videos I've seen in a long time! Gotta get in gear and get lean boys!
That process and production board is a great idea!

devore1776 Lean for profit = failure. Lean for people = success.
Pierson Workholding truer words rarely stated!
Now THAT is a well run american shop! Excellent concepts and execution and what a cool self-made business story. Extremely good job Jay and as always thanks for sharing the knowledge John.
So awesome to see this before I am doing any sort of serious production! Going to get setup to do it right from the start. Thanks Jay for sharing and John for putting it all together.
This place is cool, his employees are fortunate to have such a well organized shop, opportunitys to work in shops like this are few and far.
It reminds me more of an electronics assembly line than a machine shop. Much better looking place to work than the average shop, that chaos wears on a guy.
I'm so glad I can't sleep right now. This info is gold.
What a great setup and layout.
Thanks for sharing to both Jay and John!
Cool video John, very interesting to see how others work there business.
Jay, nice job... "The Process is the Boss!". Thanks John, love the shop tours.
Zen, and the art of machine shop organizing.
This guy is like a Zen master. lol.
I love these tours. Thank you for taking time to make all the videos you do.
Been excited for this since you started talking about it in the podcast! On to the watching!
Daaaaang!! That was extremely impressive! Thanks Jay and John!
awesome video, love how organized he is.
Great video, great shop, I love the Boss board!! Thanks John!
Definitely RUclips Gold; this is ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stuff ............. thanks John and thanks Pierson Workholding 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪
What a nice guy!! Thanks for the tour guys. We will certainly take on probably all those ideas lol :)
Great to rewatch. Wow, makes upgrading to a VF2 seem right, Thanks for this awesome video. I wouldn't be where I am without your work!
My god that task board is amazing.
very organised and a lot of thought has gone into their setup, I like it.
Man loving your tours. I live for your tour videos these days :)
Fantastic video. I love the video's you do which are more about the how to have a well run business. It's great that there are so many people like yourself and Jay who are willing to be so open about their businesses. Feeling inspired!
THAT WAS FANATIC!!!!
holy crap! I love that assembly and production board concept!!
You hit the nail on the head with your comment about why some people have been turned off of lean. I worked in a large tier 1 producer for the Auto industry and the way they implemented Kaizen and the rest just added extra work without improving anything. I have to admit that I still hate the japanese terms for all the stuff, mainly because I associate it with the stupid way it was implemented the first place I encountered them.
Everything shown in this video seems well implemented and makes life easier for everyone involved. A major part of this boils down to getting rid of clutter, a place for everything and everything in its place.
What an awesome shop! Great to see the Lean implementation!
Thank you both for this video. That Doosan lathe reminds me of a HAAS SL10. Kanban is a great idea
YES!!! Great stuff. (and... I share your "love" for Paul Akers.)
This is the stuff I absolutely live for. Thanks John.
Great video. I love the organisation. And come up with a system for things and follow the system. Wow.
Excellent shop tour John!
This is a really informative conversation. I hope NYC does a few more of these videos of other shops.
rad shop tour! definitely helps one support Pierson more 🙃🙃🙃
Awesome video showing some interesting examples of lean.
Great video. The people, process, product are top notch. 👍
We're big fans of Marcus Lemonis too!
Fascinating! Thanks for showing this John!
Well, hard to tell more good than has already been of this absolutely essential video... You guys are incredible and we owe you both so much for sharing so much value in such a condensed and entertaining way, and for free 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Oh, and if you ever want to make a little addition to go into just a little more detail about these boards at the end and the processes they embed... Please don't refrain! 😜
i think viewers are more envy than note-taking here lol, it's soooo much harder to implement a system like this in a regular job shop or other fast-changing manufacturing environment
having a great product line like Pierson's is hugely conducive to lean manufacturing activities and implementation
not to disparage the ingenuity here at all though, Jay is clearly an extremely intelligent machinist and shop engineer...those part picker and affordable crane systems are just amazing
YES! I've been excited for this vid ever since I heard Friday's podcast.
Love it! Especially all the techniques they're using for organizing the workflow - I wish I could try some of that ;-)
Great video, thank you Jay for being so generous with what you've learned!!!!
I love the shop and the vid. I am curious how big each shop section was.
Dudes innovative that's for sure
Funny to see you guys talk about all the principles (and terms in Japanese) we do at Toyota.
This was an amazing video! Thank you John and Jay. I love the work boards, it's organisation at it's peak, well done.
When the video finished, I was hooked and wished there was more 😁
Fantastically run operation! My favorite tour video by far John. +nyccnc
Thanks for the great video. I love seeing how others get work done...especially when successful!
Wow, amazing video. Lean is great, when you use it be productive and don't go over. Hmmmm, 3 S instead of 5 S, great idea.
I like the work flow and Jay seems like an awesome person to work with or for. Super creative. Just amazing.
haha. fun to see you guys "geek out" on this stuff.
Another great tour, John!
Thanks for sharing
Hi John, great video once again! However i would suggest you suggest in a lapel mic for when you do these shop tours. It gets difficult to hear whats being said when the guide turns away. The lapel mic will also help reduce background noise. Looking forward to widget wednesday!
9:15 As to Jay's comment about Dovetailing a "0" Op. I see the logic of it.
Many of the Dovetail fixtures I see, are rather slim in design. You can typically run a larger part on smaller machines, and or use shorter tools, and feed faster. Which make up for lost time making the dovetail. It really comes to a simple scenario for a particular part whether or not if the machine time can be improved that beats the time to make the dovetail in the first place. If it technically doesn't, than that Pre- Op can be nixed.
Whose job is it to update the magnet board? If the visual inventory system (cards between inventory is brilliant btw) is low, who is responsible for making sure the magnet moves over?
Fantastic tour John, thank you!
This is very impressive. Congratulations!!
