Ep. 671 - Steps to Lean Implementation

Jason Schroeder lays out six distinct phases of lean implementation, from early awareness and trying a few tools, all the way to system implementation and real accountability. He shares a story about a job that had hit a wall despite good effort, because it lacked the full integrated production control system, and explains why accountability is the phase most consultants skip entirely.
