Creating Respect for People by Scrubbing the Floor | Episode 7

Follow the lean journey of a growing donut shop as it troubleshoots the adoption of lean manufacturing tools and principles.
EPISODE 7 SUMMARY
Discover how "respect for people" was developed at the Lean Donut Shop by the owners themselves as they scrubbed the floor. This humble leadership is essential for creating world-class teamwork and performance. In fact, respect is a prerequisite for acquiring the permission to grow people. While we did not have the opportunity to "start lean in the bathroom," as some say and do, something similar was accomplished by scrubbing the floors.
ABOUT THE LEAN DONUT SHOP
The Lean Donut Shop is a real-life company (aka The Donut Theory, thedonuttheory...) that was birthed in 2020 in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. Starting in a home kitchen, the business took off! It grew into a temporary shared commercial kitchen and a 1947 Ford Half Ton mobile donut truck, and later into a brick-and-mortar storefront in the Fall of 2021.

Should change the drains to larger, bigger ones. Water flows faster into them, and with a larger squeezy, it´s faster (time and movement). Also, put all your equipment on wheels, pull them off the wall, and clean easier. Now that´s Lean.
