Currently Playing: 8 Years of Continuous Improvement: A Full Lean Factory Tour

#LeanManufacturing #ContinuousImprovement #FactoryTour What does a factory look like after eight years of continuous improvement? We created this factory tour for the Association for Manufacturing Excellence (AME) to share some of the changes that have occurred since we began our Lean journey in 2018. This isn't a tour of a perfect factory. It's a look at how Lean has gradually changed our processes, our workplace and, most importantly, the way we think. Along the way, we'll share practical examples of standard work, visual management, quality at the source and hundreds of small improvements made by our team. You'll also see how we've reinvested some of the gains from Lean back into our people and workplace. Our goal isn't simply to become faster or cheaper. We're trying to build a company where our people flourish, and excellence thrives. 00:00 Welcome to goba Sports Group 01:08 Our Lean Journey 01:55 How We Start Every Day 03:27 Standards, Ownership & the Lean Washroom 07:01 Lean in the Office 10:07 Building a Multi-Skilled Team 11:39 The Bridge That Saved 500 Days 13:20 Lean on the Factory Floor 16:06 Employee Ownership & Continuous Improvement 17:11 300 Improvements in One Work Area 18:42 A 5-Second Improvement That Saves 60 Days 20:52 Making Quality Easier 22:27 Karakuri: Automation Without Power 26:25 Our Lean Improvement Store 28:55 Visual Management Everywhere 29:44 Investing Lean Gains Back Into Our People 31:08 Lean in the Kitchen 33:24 My Favourite Improvement 👉 Subscribe for more practical Lean improvements and real-world manufacturing ideas.
