As a manufacturer myself from another part of the world, watching how this company applied the principles of Lean successfully over time is so amazing!! Thank you so much for posting this video.
I'd love to learn more about some specific improvements that they've made in the company. For example, the welding station, or office station that automates processes. Where can I learn more? 😊
i have a lot of custom contract manufacturing, many customer supplied components and some of our own, blanket orders with several work orders against blanket orders in a few releases of a variety of SKUs. how does kanban system work for that?
loosing 20 minutes on repeating exercises is hardly a lean manufacturing, have battery pack 30 inch closer is not saving much time. Its a lot of talk about lean manufacturing but not showing it where. Buzzword Video I'd call it. They had a good time producing the video, that much is sure.
In 2004 I worked at a Brewery in Tadcaster. 2010 then saw Heineken takeover and introduced TPM throughout its UK sites which I was involved with from its implementation. To this day I continue to use these strategies and methodologies. Continuous Improvement means to me challenging the status quo and using facts to drive the improvements, getting the workforce engaged from every level from the Top down.
Guys this is inspiring! I have a test next Tuesday on lean , and it’s great to see it in action! In my current job, anytime I try to make an improvement I get immediately shut down… You guys rock
This whole system is genius!! But one question that now remains in my head is: What if an employee becomes sick, pregnant, or is not able to work that day? As there is for example, one operator in the woodstation. Imagine if he is sick for 2 weeks, what will happen to the process, and how do they deal with that?
We have a great cross training system in place for every department, along with hundreds standard work documents & videos, allowing us to always serve the customer to the highest standard 😀
@@leanmadesimpleimpressive. I imagine that your SOPs and work instructions are so clear that anyone could basically come in and do the job. Why then do you also have a cross training in place? Is it just to make sure that another employee is fully skilled in that work, rather than relying exclusively on the SOP?
@@LeoBurca Having someone already trained means they will be faster and more accurate than a person who has to rely running straight off the SOPs. Cross training also provides a more interesting role for team members.
Single ownership. Opportunity for improvement. Two bins with order card on it. Using first in first out as much as possible so stock doesn’t sit on the bottom and used off the top. All great improvements. But their office has more labels than a b&q 😂😂
That is a awesome video Ryan, a morning meeting all together is the number 1 for me, to learning how to implement Lean daily, and do improvements to make a job easy, clean, organizing.
Made my weekend meaningful watching this video!! Innovation alone is not enough but the execution matters! Countries lose their jobs to other places not just bcoz of low cost but due to non-lean thinking...
I'm curious about what happens if that guy the woodworking sector (Party?) gets sick or in an accident since he's alone ... do you have someone ready to cover him? Or have like a super fast way of training someone to cover him? Or like a surplus of parts that can be used for some time?
Thanks for watching, we have a production Training Matrix, this helps us to identify any areas that we have very few people trained, we will always have more than one person trained in any one area. Contact info@leanmadesimple.com if you’d like a copy
I would love to know more about the Japanese learning technique you mentioned. I am familiar with KAIZEN but I'm curious to learn more. Any suggestions on a book would help as well 🫡💯
Great work! Amazing welding fixture! I'm working on a similar one at the moment and would love to know how it's able to lift up onto the wheels then lock in place?
When I seen the headlines I thought another company overselling themselves but got caught up in the enthusiasm and wow totally deserved all the plaudits and what a great team spirit this is the benchmark in excellence in manufacturing and social interaction
Awesome video !!!!! Love it but lean 6 sigma is American made not Japanese. America’s military went to Japan to teach them how to be more efficient because only 15 percent of the land can be used for agriculture because we had to help their economy after WW2
Haha come on man. Kyzen is so entrenched in Japanese culture and brought into the industrial age by Toyota and the TPS. Lean is Japanese through and through. I work for an American manufacturer and it’s scary how un-lean (wasteful) they are as a company. And to use the US military as as an example is laughable, probably the least lean government body to choose as an example 😂
@@frikkied2638 are you American? You must not know America. America has the greatest military in the history of the world, do your own research instead of believing me the truth is the truth …. And I didn’t use the military as an ”example” that’s where these techniques or derived from. Reread what I posted because you don’t make any sense at all
Hi Paul, Thankyou for watching, for us Lean refers to the reduction of non value added activities through the process of Continuous Improvement (Kaizen)
Attack the process, not the person. Gold.
call 8 wastes is D.O.W.N.T.I.M.E (Defect - Over production - Waiting - Nonutilized talent/performance - Transportation - Inventory - Motion - Extra processing)
Nice way of remembering them. Thanks for sharing :)
I like this better than TIMWOODS
What does that stand for? @@IrfanKhan-ze4yx
"Anything that stops flow is an oportunity to improve" loved it!!!
This is so inspiration on a number of levels. Thank you for sharing this Ryan. You and your team set the standard!

Thankyou for watching our journey 😀
Amazing tour! the team is super excited to see you in September!
Amazing x100! Great Job Everyone!
yo anyone know where they got the welding jig table/platform? is it homemade or readily available?
Hi , we designed and made these ourselves :)
I'd love to learn more about some specific improvements that they've made in the company. For example, the welding station, or office station that automates processes. Where can I learn more? 😊
Thankyou for watching and for your suggestions, we will continue to make content, my new book is now ready to PRE Order - www.leanmadesimple.com/store
@@leanmadesimple Hi Ryan. Congrats on the book. Where could I buy the audio version you mentioned in another video? :)
i have a lot of custom contract manufacturing, many customer supplied components and some of our own, blanket orders with several work orders against blanket orders in a few releases of a variety of SKUs. how does kanban system work for that?
Hi, we would love to help if we can, email us at info@leanmadesimple.com and we can schedule a call for more detail on the specifics!
Mind is still blown! 🤯 Thank you for leading from the front and impacting the world 🌍
Wow, just wow.... fantastic. Learned so much from this. Congratulations everyone at seating matters you are amazing
Mind-blowing tour, thanks for sharing, I really appreciate the time you took to create such an inspiring video. 😁
Working on this was an immense learning experience in lean. Ryan is a lean genius, and is changing how we produce content at ATTNx.

Great video, would be great to see more of these with that passionate team along with other processes in other industries.
Keep up the good work 👏
Wonderful work place for the people who seeking for creativity ❤
How do you guys interface accounting with your kanban system? My team’s big concern with letting go of ERP/MRP is losing transaction records
I'm a small business owner, and I enjoyed this very much. Such great insights to take away Thank you😊
Oh great, what small business do you run?
As a fresh pair of eyes I see a lack of ppe equipment.
Single ownership. Opportunity for improvement. Two bins with order card on it. Using first in first out as much as possible so stock doesn’t sit on the bottom and used off the top. All great improvements. But their office has more labels than a b&q 😂😂
This video is awesome... this make me think a lot of opportunity working in retail.. any book recommendation?
One thing to note is he should be using an impact driver, not a drill. An impact driver is much more forgiving on your wrist and probably quicker 8:26
Fantastic what a fabulous model of developing staff
Mind blown! I’m learning so much from your videos. Thank you for sharing your journey and inspiring others.
Backround music? Very annoying!
That is a awesome video Ryan, a morning meeting all together is the number 1 for me, to learning how to implement Lean daily, and do improvements to make a job easy, clean, organizing.
Thnx 💎
Awesome video!!! I am sharing clips with my team RIGHT NOW!
Thanks for watching and sharing!!
Amazing Lean experience. thank you

Thank you - this is worth so much more than the thousand words on Lean I'd already studied.

Great video. Love everything. What youre guys recommended starting course/books for learning lean?
Watch the Lean Made Simple videos and listen to LMS podcast, we have a decade of learnings in those. The first book is coming soon too :)
Fantastic as always.
This video has made me understand lean and I'm writing an exam tomorrow.keep up the good work
I would love to know more about the Japanese learning technique you mentioned. I am familiar with KAIZEN but I'm curious to learn more. Any suggestions on a book would help as well 🫡💯
2-Second Lean by Paul Akers is a great place to start!
Super organisation hats off . Ryan told we paying only for innovation of the employee not for their work - it is great thinking.
Hi team simplylearn, I want to use this video in my training programme, are you okay with this ?
Yes, you can use this video
The accent makes much better to watch
very nice -- examples for others
Epic. Epic tour and of course Epic concepts. Sold.
this is incredible👍🏾👍🏾
What label makers do you use, for all your labelling around the warehouse and office?
We simply use laminated word docs
Thank you for this video 😊
Great work! Amazing welding fixture! I'm working on a similar one at the moment and would love to know how it's able to lift up onto the wheels then lock in place?
Hi, send your request for more detail to info@leanmadesimple.com
Will do! Cheers!
great work and easy to understand.
Wonderful example of Lean Manufacturing, love the two bin system and Kaizen foam for tools.
Thankyou for watching :)
Absolutely fantastic
When I seen the headlines I thought another company overselling themselves but got caught up in the enthusiasm and wow totally deserved all the plaudits and what a great team spirit this is the benchmark in excellence in manufacturing and social interaction
Thankyou for watching and for the kind comment :)
Loved this!
Congratulations!!! What a great example!
Thank you! 😃
Made from Japan at least 80 year ago....Somebody whit bad english to explain lean is funny
Awesome video !!!!! Love it but lean 6 sigma is American made not Japanese. America’s military went to Japan to teach them how to be more efficient because only 15 percent of the land can be used for agriculture because we had to help their economy after WW2
Bro, get over. It is a Japanese thing.

Ryan how do your team handle the chat videos? checking, answering 20X1 minutes video is too much. Is there a dedicated time for that?
This is great, owner got the employees to improve his company and they do it everyday for the same compensation. Brilliant!
Great tour! Seating Matters just keeps getting better and better!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Any subtitles to this? I can't understand a word they're saying
Excellent
Thank you so much 😀
I spend no less than 15 minutes to find real lean examples, but all link told me about 5s, kanban etc. Thank you for this tour!
You're so welcome 😊 good luck in your lean journey!
Why is it referred to as "Lean" and not Kaizen ?
Hi Paul, Thankyou for watching, for us Lean refers to the reduction of non value added activities through the process of Continuous Improvement (Kaizen)
Go to china and you'll learn a lot more
