Check out the video and please share your own thoughts and experiences. We are certain that others would benefit from hearing your perspective.

Begin the Learning with Waste
February 24th, 2010We have been developing, deploying, and evolving a practice we call the Lean Learning Laboratory since 1995. It is a method for going an inch-wide, mile-deep into lean change and follows a model of Learn it, Apply it, Reflect on what you learned. Many groups like to start with things like 5S. We like teams learning and using waste early in the process. In this video, Andy Carlino and Jamie Flinchbaugh explain why.
