3s and Lean Improvements 6th March

I'm Jack, Innovator & business owner in the UK. I started my manufacturing journey in 2013, producing a small range of products made from sheet metal. As the the business and demand grew we faced many problems, defects, long production times, un-engaged work force and general chaos.
In 2018 after spending weeks trying to find management software or systems I discovered a Fastcap tour video that introduced simple version of Lean Manufacturing ( • Lean Manufacturing - L... ). I saw a wonderful smooth running work place with engaged employees and wanted that for my own factory! So I quickly read Paul Akers book 2Second Lean! From there on we have been making small improvements every day.
I have a team of around 20 employees and we manufacture and ship 1000s of products per year. Each and every day we 3S (Sweep - Sort - Standardise) our work place and make daily improvements to make the job easier and increase quality of the product for our customers. Each employee sends photos or videos to our Lean WhatsApp group everyday, I edit these into a daily video that we watch together every day in our morning meeting. I share these publicly here on KZbin to hopefully help and inspire other businesses around the world, so watch this in your morning meeting and it will help start your own Lean journey and help create a continuous improvement culture!
