Video: "Everybody Everyday: Managing for Daily Improvement"
Lean is not just about deploying lean tools. It is about engaging every person for continuous improvement every day.
The pace of this continuous improvement is what defines a genuinely lean company.
Hear Jamie Flinchbaugh, Founder and Partner, Lean Learning Center describe principles, tools and systems for
managing daily improvement. Principles guide every person through daily continuous
improvement no matter what role they play or what time of day. Learn how to build a
culture on true behavior-based principles. Also learn how to build a true ideas system,
not the suggestion systems that most people deploy, that allow people to engage quickly
and easily in continuous improvement of their own work. Finally, learn the critical success
factors that make daily improvement work, including the REAL purpose of lean tools such as pull and 5S.
