    I really thought LEAN was just another fad, but seeing this guy make it work makes so much sense to me! Thanks for taking it out of the seminar and putting it into the real physical world. Thank you John for telling his story!

    Honestly this video just made me feel calm by watching it. As a small shop owner and operator it highlighted some really great methods of streamlining things. I've been trying to implement many of these practices piece by piece, each one makes a big difference to general efficiency and peace of mind.

    This is UA-cam gold ! Thank you John for posting, and thank you Jay for talking us through your shop. Love your approach and attitude - keep it up. Those 28 minutes just flew by . . .
    I'm just a hobby machinist in my garage but still like to keep it as tidy and organised as possible. Everything needs a place, lighting needs to be nice, I just don't get those dark grimy places that some machinists seem to live in. Well done and regards UK.

      I've been trying to try do the ''3 things'' method. I saw it on Wranglerstar's channel. basically every time you walk by the bench or whatever pick up three things and put them in their designated place. I haven't really been doing this, need to starts.

    Love how dialed in this guy is. He is clearly very intelligent and very well organized. Hardest part of lean is while in the midst of all the chaos of trying to get the day to day work done to carve out the time to do this stuff and have the foresight to know that there is a payoff if you do it.

    • @Wrenchmonkey1
      @Wrenchmonkey1 7 років тому +4

      That's why 3-Sing in the mornings is the best system. Building standards at the beginning of the day, before the chaos actually starts puts you in a particular mindset that will have you continuing that process throughout the day.
      It's not something you implement or achieve overnight. Kaizen=continuous improvement. Not an instant fix to all that ails you. :)

    • @PiersonWorkholding
      @PiersonWorkholding 7 років тому +31

      briancnc We didn't achieve this overnight. Lean is simply a collection of small incremental improvements. Just start small like sweeping in the morning and creating a spot for just 1 tool every day.

    • @GimmilFactory
      @GimmilFactory 7 років тому

      The beauty of lean is that it doesn't have to applied to just machining parts or in the production sections of business. I've been slowly trying to implement lean at my job were we do PC and mobile repair. We still use and have to order parts as well schedule jobs to be accomplished; overall making sure all tasks are completed in a timely fashion. Yes it is a very OCD and pain of a process to setup and figure out in the beginning - But the standardization and forward-moving flow you receive at the end is totally worth the effort you've placed in to it. Great job setting up a very successful business with minimal employee overhead Pierson Workholding! ( I simply love to watch your videos NYC CNC because you give me such great ideas that are applicable in all sections of business; and they're never over the top; simple ideas to make day to day work life easier in the end! )

      I finally got rid of all my socks that aren't the standard one make/model. I eliminated pairing of socks from my laundry routine and now all socks are just one fairly small pile in the sock drawer. to go on my feet I just grab any two socks. when one sock gets a hole or gets lost its only one, not a pair that is lost.
      indeed, lean isn't just for work :)

    @mchiodox69 7 років тому +12

    Very cool. I started on the lean journey in 1984 and it is actually so much fun. You are never done and that is part of the fun. There is always something to improve. You are always learning and being challenged in a good way. The two words that I hold dear are respect and value. It is all about finding the value and then adding to it. It come in layers and small increments but the payoff is huge in terms of your business, business family, you and your family. Best wishes on your own journey.

  • @JSAFIXIT
    @JSAFIXIT 3 роки тому +1

    I know this is an older video, but there is still A LOT of very good information here.
    When I was in charge of a group of routers, I came into it with people doing 6-8 setups a night and a complete clusterfuck disaster of tool and material storage/staging. Once I got everyone on board with it, we increased production by just over 30%. The most impressive was that we almost completely eliminated re-work. It was tough to get everyone to work together on it.

    Jay was a huge help in getting our dice boxes from being manually cut on a router to be a fully CNC process. Funny thing is I never knew Jay was the owner, I though he was one of the sales staff. Super down to earth guy. Pierson makes great stuff. Can't recommend them highly enough.

    How can one person be this calm and smart? For Jay to established this effective system is amazing. He may or may not have done precisely everything, but still his leadership to get it all in place is what made it happen regardless. Really appreciative of him to share. Many thanks.
    Didn't think that a Minimill and the Toolroom Mill would as effective as they were shown. Reasonably cheap machines. The features in the controller are overpriced though.

    You hit the nail on the head with your comment about why some people have been turned off of lean. I worked in a large tier 1 producer for the Auto industry and the way they implemented Kaizen and the rest just added extra work without improving anything. I have to admit that I still hate the japanese terms for all the stuff, mainly because I associate it with the stupid way it was implemented the first place I encountered them.
    Everything shown in this video seems well implemented and makes life easier for everyone involved. A major part of this boils down to getting rid of clutter, a place for everything and everything in its place.
