Many in the world have heard of the topic of Lean Manufacturing, very few people truly understand it. Monte Mitchell is the best we’ve ever met at implementing Lean Manufacturing with a group.

1. What is Lean Manufacturing?
2. How do I understand it?
3. How do I make it truly work?

Lean manufacturing (also known as lean production, just-in-time manufacturing, and just-in-time production, or JIT) is a production method aimed primarily at reducing times within the production system as well as response times from suppliers and to customers.

Beyond the obvious, one thing we know is that Lean Manufacturing means a lot of different things to different people. Most consultants explain the tools and steps – the “what and how”. But they miss the “why”, meaning the culture and people side.

Monte Mitchell started working in the Toyota organization, on the line, making cars, in California. As he would tell the story, “he made suggestions for things that he did not see as right in the plant”. One day, a Toyota lead suggested that he use those thoughts to solve the problems, instead of just pointing them out. That step began a life-long journey through the Toyota organization and mastery of the Toyota Production System.

Today, Monte is now the principal of Fourtre Consulting which he leads with a group of highly-skilled, past professionals from the Toyota organization. He applies years of experience from working with companies and individuals from around the world, to help solve complex challenges, by applying simple solutions.

Monte has a way of enabling a practical representation of the concepts of Lean Manufacturing and how they apply to an individual situation that is unique.

We will have a great discussion regarding business optimization using the principles of lean, from an individual that the Moderator, Jeff Daniel will personally suggest is the most skilled in “what makes it work” that he has met.

Come join the discussion to learn the “Secrets of Lean” from an individual that truly gets it! The Agenda for the discussion will proceed as follows:

1. Introductions of the presenters
2. What is Lean Manufacturing and How does it work?
3. How do I learn how to make these things work for my group?
4. Careers and Opportunities discussion
5. Implementing Lean processes – practical approach and lessons learned
6. Panelist to answer Viewer Questions

Attendance for this session is Virtual.
The session will start at 10:04 AM CST. Questions are welcomed!
