Had a great time recording this with you Ryan and Matt. Thanks for the invite and for letting me look around the factory. You’re doing something very special with lean thinking over there at Seating Matters - the learning happened both ways!
Absolutely brilliant interview guys. Design isn’t talked about anywhere near enough! The quality lever concept used to be bread and butter but it’s been forgotten to our detriment. Looking forward to supporting you guys with making a step change improvement with your SOPs!
Matt, Ryan an absolutely outstanding podcast. I caught this on the way home as I was driving back from work and have to say I almost stopped on the side of the road to listen to it again. Ryan thank you for your absolute humility and lack of ego. This shows the strength of a truly leader. I can't wait until you release your book and I hope that some of the content from today finds its way in. Thank you both again. I will watch this podcast again and again regards Mark.
Great discussion. The safety glasses were interesting. The guest said having a sign and not enforcing is a bit “ambiguous”. My sense was that he saw the Anglo Saxon meaning of ambiguity rather than the Latin. Negative “unclear” vs positive “plurality” of meaning. As I venture into the world of “Lean” I am becoming very focused on the language and the notion of the intent statement being present in the language we use. A blanket statement on safety glasses suggests you did not conduct a hazard assessment to determine if a blanket statement was needed but blindly followed the ministry of safety.
Steven Spear also borrowed the 4 questions from Toyota, I used those questions for my HERCA Human Error Root Cause Analysis, however the causes are very rarely human errors. Great Podcast Guys
Guys another amazing episode. So much learning in this one. I really liked “design for production “ and “designers are paid to make complicated things simple “. Thank you all and keep up the good work!!🙏🙏🙏
Excellent video as always. Already subscribed to the_lean_ expert 😅. Would love to see a video just talking about the 2 japanese senseis visit with more details just to try to undestand the way they think.
There was very little time spent on Russell describing specific areas where improvements were needed. Safety, kitting and maybe scaling are all I picked up. I would have preferred a list of 5 area, then short explanations without digressions. Also the entire introduction of the guest, who we are, who guest is, what topic is should be no longer than 20 seconds. The value of the podcast is information not entertainment.
People and their developed mindsets are at the core of it all! So many businesses - manufacturing and non - do NOT invest properly here, at all. Mostly unstructured or simply lip service. Gold Standard Psychometrics is the missing critical ingredient.

23:39 time is just the shadow cast by motion 😮🎯
Incredible 🤯

Thanks Tom, Gemba Docs has made a huge difference for us already :)

Loving your pod casts, I love Ryan humility to embrace the negative feed back.

Yes. Love your podcast. I've watched this twice. Using your podcasts for our lean journey in a Truck workshop.
Great to hear, wishing you all the best :)
Phenomenal amount of value here ! More please!!

Great Podcast Guys
This was fantastic!
So much value here-probably the best episode of this podcast I’ve seen so far in terms of take always for me.
Thank you!
Thankyou Chris, Russell was a fantastic guest :)
Awesome, Russell is fabulous. We trained together with the Toyota engineers so many years ago. 👍😎
The best!
Guys another amazing episode. So much learning in this one.
I really liked
“design for production “ and “designers are paid to make complicated things simple “.
Thank you all and keep up the good work!!🙏🙏🙏
Glad you enjoyed it Hugo, great takeaways :)
Awesome pod.
Next time would it be possible to film the touring of the factory to help visualize the learnings/teachings of the pod?
Thankyou, and great suggestion!
Loved it.
The word is Ako. To both teach and learn at same time.
Excellent video. Regarding the safety, generally it goes back to “The road less stupid “. A rule unenforced is just a suggestion not a rule.
Thanks Dave :)
Fantastic as always 👏
Thank you Martin 😀

We deserve the behavior we accept…ooh, ouch!
I bet a lot of us felt that!
More value without the mirth.
