Fernando Gonzalez sent us this video showing a fantastically simple yet effective way to view blueprints on a job site on a rolling stand. Now that is lean thinking!!!

Think all the talk about Lean Manufacturing is a bit boring and all about charts and graphs? Read or listen to my lean manufacturing book online for free and be inspired by how easy and fun learning about lean culture, lean thinking and lean manufacturing can be. No flow charts or graphs, just the real life journey of one company and the astounding results a lean culture and lean thinking can produce. Take a few hours, read 2 Second Lean Book and change your life!

Paul Akers shares the video he took of his home town of beautiful Bellingham, WA using his DJI’s Phantom 2 Vision+ to capture them many clips from the air.

We recieved this note from Brad McMahan at POET:

Just wanted to thank you for writing 2 Second Lean. I’ve read it twice and now I’m having my maintenance crew read it. Today we had some of our corporate people fly in to visit our plant in Cloverdale, IN. Our director of operations asked our maintenance clerk how she likes her new job and what kind of things has she been doing and learning. I had the biggest grin today when she mentioned in her discussion that she was “fixing what bugged her.” That phrase if very simple and very catchy. We are all working on ways to fix what bugs us. It is definitely a journey.

Here is a before and after picture of our maintenance office. The first picture was our first year of production, 3 years ago. Very chaotic and unorganized. As you can see some improvements have been made and we are a little more organized. I’m ready to take it one step further and take out the chairs and build some stand up desks on casters.

Paul Akers, of The American Innovator, takes his friends and his daughter to Nooksack Falls, WA where he took over 100 photos but reduced it down to 16 of his very best shots. He learned this concept from Dylan Davies, a professional photographer, and shares some of Dylan’s beautiful photos.
