Featured Podcast: Designing New Facilities to Be Lean
Lean Expert: Jamie Flinchbaugh
Size: 8.79 MB
Length: 9:34
Just as its possible to design new processes using lean principles and techniques, it’s also possible – indeed, it’s vital – to use lean to design, build, and launch new production facilities – factories, warehouses, service depots, and other operational locations. Lean expert Jamie Flinchbaugh explains the importance of having a collaborative design process that captures the needs and insights of all user communities – operations, maintenance, material handling, HR, quality, -- using kaizen principles to create a lean plant design; he also makes clear the importance of re-designing the culture and work practices of the workteams, so the entire operation benefits from the new lean environment.
