i like how he says "we" and "co-workers" theres alot of respect there
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.
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. :)
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.
Pierson Workholding would you name the robot system you didn't get on with? an inspirational setup you have...
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 :)
this is the kinda place i wanna work, small shop, incredibly organised.
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.
Jay, after 40 yrs. of doing it 'my way or the Hy-way' I look forward to implementing the process as our boss. Thank you.
Omg this production board is so genius and yet simple
This is probably my all time favorite video that you've done so far John!!! Huge thanks to Jay for sharing all of this info and inside look into his company! It really lays out an awesomely efficient way to run a business. Thanks again!!
I always clean in the morning, it honestly helps me start my day
Not often ya see somebody presenting Lean that ya don't want to hit with a shovel, but here it is. Well done at every level, and an excellent shop tour to boot.
This video explains Lean better than the entire graduate level class on lean I took a few years ago. This should be used in every business model from the ground up.
Following you and Pierson for a little while know but happened upon this older video while doing some research for my team. Still holds up incredibly well and man - Jay and his team get it at a really high level and clearly respect each other, themselves, and the process! SO AWESOME.
Awesome embracing of lean. The key message/reality: You have to learn how to make Lean work for you - don't push a square peg into a round hole. Great Video. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent execution! In my similar pursuit - I discovered that getting the people to buy into the plan can be the hardest part. This guy has done an amazing job of identifying the challenges, creating a solution, and getting the people to join in. Well done.
This is John at his best: learning from others and sharing to the rest. So inspiring in many ways. Thanks so much!
I can't believe I missed this video! I saw it come out and never found the time to watch. Truly amazing, especially that Job Routing Board. Such a lean shop, awesome!
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.
John thank you for doing these shop tours! I always learn something and they are well worth the time to sit and watch them start to end. I just looked over at my white board and already my gear are turing on what I need to do to make it more better! Please do many more!
So awesome to see this before I am doing any sort of serious production! Going to get setup to do it right from the start. Thanks Jay for sharing and John for putting it all together.
Awesome......congrats to you Pierson Workholding! So neat, so organized, so clean, so smart......thank you for the tour!
I love these tours. Thank you for taking time to make all the videos you do.
Please do more of these tours and videos! This is awesome! Give us more!
Pierson Workholding, your shop is so dialed! Thanks for doing the interview. I'm going to suggest at least two of these ideas to my boss once I get to work next. Thanks a ton!
This motivated me as a plant manager so much I want to sit on the beach and stare at a sunset thinking about how my life has just been successfully changed forever.
he automates the entire process. I love it. the machines are doing all the work.
Great video, thank you Jay for being so generous with what you've learned!!!!
i want to like this many more times. thanks for taking the time to put this together John and cheers to Jay for sharing your awesomeness.
Your comments at the end hit the nail on the head regarding lean, 5S and 6σ.
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.
oh and jay, i'm straight up stealing your white board. that is pure genius.
Hey Charlie! Good to hear from you and thanks for the kind words. And please, feel free to steal any of my ideas :)
What a great setup and layout.
Thanks for sharing to both Jay and John!
I love the board idea at the end the most! This was great! Thanks!
That was a good intro for me into a real Lean shop! Thank you for all the help and great videos!
That automation setup with the vacuum / finish stack is wicked! Real creative way to use the machine, I have never seen something like this before!
Great video, great shop, I love the Boss board!! Thanks John!
This was an amazing video! Thank you John and Jay. I love the work boards, it's organisation at it's peak, well done.
When the video finished, I was hooked and wished there was more 😁
We ordered the quick change speed pallet system today! Can't wait to get it in! Great pricing on all their products.
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.
Fantastic video. I love the video's you do which are more about the how to have a well run business. It's great that there are so many people like yourself and Jay who are willing to be so open about their businesses. Feeling inspired!
awesome video, love how organized he is.
One of the best videos I've seen in a long time! Gotta get in gear and get lean boys!
Great video! Between you two guys you could rule the world
Jay, nice job... "The Process is the Boss!". Thanks John, love the shop tours.
I have used his pallet changer on my 1100 from day one. Ordered it before 1100 was delivered. Nice to see his operation. Best Line: "He is a job shop with one customer"
Man loving your tours. I live for your tour videos these days :)
Great to rewatch. Wow, makes upgrading to a VF2 seem right, Thanks for this awesome video. I wouldn't be where I am without your work!
thank you for this awesome video. and thank you to the guy that took us on the tour!
This is the stuff I absolutely live for. Thanks John.
I watched this video, just mesmerized the whole time, and at the end of it I looked down and saw the 54 dislikes and I just can’t imagine the type of person who would dislike something as beautiful as this video and the two guys just loving their work and living their best life. First video I’ve seen of them and won’t be my last.
holy crap! I love that assembly and production board concept!!
Great video, probably the best example I have seen of proper lean.
YES! I've been excited for this vid ever since I heard Friday's podcast.
Just re-watched this one. Interesting and inspiring!
very organised and a lot of thought has gone into their setup, I like it.
Daaaaang!! That was extremely impressive! Thanks Jay and John!
Definitely UA-cam Gold; this is ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stuff ............. thanks John and thanks Pierson Workholding 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪
What an awesome shop! Great to see the Lean implementation!
Nice organized little shop that little Doosan lathe is the jewel of the shop Jay really has a good head on his shoulders.
Now THAT is a well run american shop! Excellent concepts and execution and what a cool self-made business story. Extremely good job Jay and as always thanks for sharing the knowledge John.
Thanks for the great video. I love seeing how others get work done...especially when successful!
Great video. I love the organisation. And come up with a system for things and follow the system. Wow.
Thank you both for this video. That Doosan lathe reminds me of a HAAS SL10. Kanban is a great idea
Been excited for this since you started talking about it in the podcast! On to the watching!
Fascinating! Thanks for showing this John!
Another great tour, John!
Thanks for sharing
This is very impressive. Congratulations!!
THAT WAS FANATIC!!!!
That process and production board is a great idea!

Well, hard to tell more good than has already been of this absolutely essential video... You guys are incredible and we owe you both so much for sharing so much value in such a condensed and entertaining way, and for free 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Oh, and if you ever want to make a little addition to go into just a little more detail about these boards at the end and the processes they embed... Please don't refrain! 😜

Way cool. I'm going to share this with our shop guys. And their boss.
Thanks,
John
This is amazing.
Fantastic video !
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.
great video, awesome little shop!
