Description

Jason shares mind-blowing lean concepts from Nicholas Modig's YouTube video "This is Lean Management" that changed his perspective on continuous improvement and quality. He uses airport toilets as proof construction does not continuously improve, highlighting how primitive our standards remain after 100 years. Main focus is quality must be built in at source and treating every day like day one with fanatical continuous improvement culture.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Are we lean? Hard to say because I wasn't here yesterday, lean is continuous improvement today vs yesterday
• Treat every day like day one: Quality and continuous improvement must be core rock solid belief system
• Stop, call, wait: Lexus plant workers trained for month on what to do when problem occurs
• Start with one crew experiment: Create anchor project to train and brainwash quality culture at source
• Check work before moving on: Crews notice defects, fix before moving, know what bugs them and eliminate waste
• Construction doesn't know quality yet: Need to experiment with companies ready for total participation and visual systems

Joy is in the journey not just destination, if you have a crew ready to partner on quality and continuous improvement reach out.
