We need to see a bonus episode 3 -- which is a facility tour showing all of his improvements. Epic content. Can't get enough of these lean businsses.

[@UpFlip]

Great idea! Glad you're interested in lean, it's pretty awesome.

[@bobthebuilder5172]

Paul, I just have to say that you are by far my favorite interviewer for UpFlip! When they had the other guy interview Joe, he didn't carry the same enthusiasm and genuine interest as you did. Keep up the great work!

[@nicholasdavidson5683]

When I worked in hospitality I saw that having an adaptive environment was important. The needs of the restaurant change and the work flow needs to change directions depending on bookings etc. Putting things on wheels really helped. The restrictions were plumbing, but you can also have gas hoses and water and waste hoses that follow moving stations. If the business was fitted out correctly from the start it wouldn't cost time and money and profits later (having to try to fix everything). It was a great practical excercise in lean and I payed using my own wages and time and energy but I'm blessed to have captured the wisdom of lean. Being a owner or having a owner that is willing to use lean is what I would advise though as i found it really tough to pull off with many people resisting the change and not being able to see what they couldn't see

[@UpFlip]

Hey Nicholas, thank you for sharing your story. It definitely would have payed off to have implemented lean practices earlier on in your business, as you implied!

[@andrewlowes3224]

Wow, Joe's the real deal! What an awesome entrepreneur and success story!

[@UpFlip]

We agree!

[@malekquronfoleh5251]

[@UpFlip]

Thanks for the love! Thats our goal!

[@gamin4jesus]

Amazing video! Love lean. Watched Paul Akers interview, and read his book. Making my work life and home life a lot more enjoyable. Great interview!

[@UpFlip]

Thank you!

[@Mike-dy8bq]

Love the lean mindset! Thanks for these types of videos. I can't help but think about all the money that is tied up in the parts sitting on those shelves not to mention the real estate as well. Need to investigate a way to eliminate that.

[@servant74]

I'm retired now and have followed Paul for several years. I would like to see you do something on 'leaning your garage' or hobby workspace. I know it is specific and not a huge general audience. Even a pointer to another resource would be helpful.

[@UpFlip]

Hey there, thank you for the recommendation, we'll keep it in mind.

[@SimplyTastyCo]

Y’all need to get picked up by some tv channel already 👍🏽 great stuff guys

[@UpFlip]

Maybe one day!

[@paul-akers]

Wow amazing interview!

[@Sharkdog11b]

This guy is my spirit animal

[@jutau]

Gotta push for Right to repair movement in all parts of the country. In the end if large corporations have their way, businesses like this will be made "illegal" due to pro corporate IP laws.

[@innercharm909]

Thanks so much. A lot of value 💚💚💚💚

[@UpFlip]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nicholasdavidson5683]

One way to look at it is that you are simplifying and compressing the processes. This leads to reduced cognitive loading and less errors. The output means more satisfied customers. Instead of having five seperate departments, you have one or two of which the people in them are crossed trained to cover more bases. Being employee focused rather than total focus on customers means you get a happier customer and more profits as a result. The employees are also the customer.

[@UpFlip]

That's a great explanation! Customers are what determine your success!

[@jasperdualcirclesbikerenta4788]

What is that box they use for standardization?

[@hamedmn949]

[@harbanssingh-nl7qm]

Hello brother, I need your help I have to make assignment on pick one company and find issues which the company facing now (facing past 2 years) and then apply lean product to that problem to solve it( which we learned in class in lean production system subject). Can you please tell me how I can find company's two problem (any company manufacturing or service)???? Waiting your response Thanku

[@UpFlip]

So the best way of doing this is to look at the production process or just how the employees work when producing the product, you want to figure out ways you can do things quicker and easier, for example, if someone is using a drill to put something together and the drill is somewhere in a spot that takes a while to go get, figure out how you can get that drill to be conveniently right by the person so he doesn't have to waste time going to get it.

[@shaneduffy4853]

The WiFi bit hurt me, the leanest right way would be to set them all up with the same SSID and only do it once

[@nicholasdavidson5683]

What hot wheels car was that? :)

[@shamashmindful]

Really excellent and informative videos guys. Congrats! I'm thinking of making a series of videos about how to be lean when working from home, as now there are an extra few million people working from home. I've been working from home for 10 years, but only now beginning to start my happy lean journey. You're welcome to steal my idea and do that yourself too :)

[@UpFlip]

Thats a good idea!

[@shamashmindful]

@@UpFlip another idea is to share how you are growing your own business. What's your business model and what are you guys doing to stay lean :)

[@khaingzaw1715]

I want to translate lean videos with Myanmar subtitles and then I want to share them with our people.

[@mrmeadowsiscool]

The Toyota way....

[@UpFlip]

Thank you for taking the time to watch! ☺️

[@deepimagination5939]

That guys got some huge calves

[@Folgemilch21]

“Lean” = talking about really obvious things in a weirdly excited, almost cultish manner… so bizarre

[@kareemeastman233]

Yeah everyone totally does spaghetti diagrams and pareto charts and 5 ys lol. So obvious

[@shanerhoden]

A lot of talk. Very little of showing lean improvements. Wasted time…
