Hi Paul, Just sharing one way to make it much easier to remember the 8 Wastes. Key word is DOWNTIME. D - Defects O - Overproduction W - Waiting time N - Not ulitizing talent T - Transportation I - Inventory M - Motion Waste E - Excess Processing. Thanks for sharing your experience in executing lean culture. It is very valuable, it adds immense value to day. I'm a beginner here and now taking a different approach to my area of responsibility. Cheers!
mat2513 here’s the problem lots of people memorize it through an acronym but in my opinion that is not a good way to do it. This is the way I was taught to do it and it never worked I didn’t understand the eight ways I just memorize them. you must understand it always originates from overproduction when you make too much of things. now that you’ve made too much you have to transport it what are you gonna do with it now you’re going to stick it in inventory. Do you see where I’m going with this it’s simply a story no need to memorize an acronym just understand the story of waste. so now you’re over production is sitting in inventory and your customer orders but they want it different than what you’ve already made so now you have a defect and you have to overprocessing waste emotion meanwhile your customers waiting because you’re over processing your defects and you’re wasting your potential because instead of doing value added work you’re caught up in the waste cycle
mat2513 You don’t you don’t wanna use an acronym it defeats the purpose you wanna understand where Waste comes from a need originates from overproduction.
@@mat2513 Matt, my philosophy after doing Lean for 24 years is it best not to use an acronym I will explain. When you understand that waste comes from overproduction that is the origin of it. Then you begin to understand that remembering an acronym is not as powerful. It is best to have a deep understanding of waste so I think of it as a story. You overproduce too much of something then you have to transport it then you have to put it in inventory then you retrieve it from inventory and you find a defect or the product is not what the customer wants any longer because you made it five months ago then you have to overprocess it, you have to change it repair it fix it effort you have access motion while you’re doing all this crazy work. Your customer is waiting and you’ve wasted your potential as a human being because instead of refining the process and producing the product just in time you’re overproducing, stacking it on shelves repairing defects and the way cycle just goes round and round and round no need for an acronym just understand how waste is originated and how it flows through your life
81 People aren't lean. Thank you Mr. Akers for elaborating the simplicity of Lean. The company I work for has definitely taken up this process. All of us here are currently listening to your book (again lol). I believe you even have talked to my boss personally at OHI. Thank you again!
Hi Paul, I loved the energy & fun way that you read the audiobook. I'm inspired by what you've shared to apply the lean principles to my life. Let's see if hubby picks up on my lean way of being! Biggest take aways - 1: Focus on taking daily action on what's bugging me to eliminate waste of resources & time 2: Resist the temptation to change others (I will stay in my lane) 3: Applying the Lean principles are simple 4: Make it fun! 5: Perfection isn't in the Lean vocabulary
Thank you so much Paul for all you do. This has revolutionized how I run my business and even in my personal life. I think this is my 3rd time through this book.
I just listened to your interview on the Business Bootcamp podcast with Mike Andes. It's obvious you love lean and it has much to offer the world. Imagine my shock at finding that YOU made all digital versions of this book free. I am blown away. Thank you.

Just thought I would share, while I listen to your book Paul I walk around and lean my whole house. Audio & hands on = the best way to learn! Btw on Monday I start my new career as a lean specialist! Thanks again for sharing!
I absolutely love the statement made in this and other videos that orders are received, the products made, packaged and sent out in two hours. This process is the dream of most companies. I know that Lean is focussed on making the process, all processes, easier. But the fact that your order, creation and shipping process is down to two hours. That is awe inspiring and a hell of a standard. Good job and thanks for setting a great example. Cheers.
Great Content, love the book. Really getting into Lean, have had some experience with my current job in a cabinet manufacturing. Now I see my self looking at everything differently. also Shout out to UpFlip for tuning me onto Paul and Fast Cap with all this great content.
We are a small start-up in eastern Canada , sawmill actually, wow didn't know you were a cabinet maker! Thank-you for sharing this. We need a lot of improvement and implementing these practices can make all the difference. Cheers !
Hi Paul - this is a great book so thank you! I work for a company that introduced tools and techniques before the people/culture piece and needless to say, the results have been less than inspiring. We now find ourselves rethinking as to how to turn the focus back to the people/culture aspect without losing what we have gained on the tools and techniques portion. With hindsight being 20/20 we obviously should've started with the people/cultural aspect first. Regards, Joe
I’ve always resented simple concepts being explained in a unnecessarily complicated way. I think this is why so many people read management books without actually executing the concepts. Nothing about lean is intimidating. It’s very difficult to NOT do lean once you start thinking about it!
thank you. I'm starting to implement lean in my own life. I already feel more clarity with how to do things and why. The simplicity makes it easy to implement in small ways.
Just so you know I have now turn the book into a video here is a link so you can actually watch what I’m talking about as well it’s completed up to chapter 12 feel free to pass it along to everyone. Did you know….. that 2 Second Lean has a video book? That means in your morning meeting you can watch 2 Second Lean chapter by chapter in a video we’ve completed up to chapter 3 here is the playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLROkf9gKrj_6JlgeQgO-GEYex184cMHpd.html The best life in the world is an improving life! Paul
It is refreshing to listen to it and remember once again: LEAN is simple. And it workes. Again. thank you!:) I think we need more LEAN activists as you!
Hi, Paul. Excellent presentation of excellent material! Thank you for your work and the fact that your books are free (I listen using your app, which is great also!) If the list is handy, would you please share the names of the books you suggested reading in your 2 Second Lean audio book? I wasn't able to write them down while driving and listening. Thank you.
@@paul-akers- we are learning about lean tomorrow and I am presenting. I am really excited about it. Also - the dishwasher idea is great for home too. Thank you
I simplified the 8 wastes; they're actually made of 4 interlocking wastes. Wastes of space and time, effecting employees and products. (Space, time, employee, product)
Thank you for posting this. It's ironic how you talk about using splenda and eating toast and in your book "Lean Health," these things are anathema to you. I'm happy you have seen the light of health and fitness!
I don't either. No regrets. I don't miss the flour, sugar, bread, pasta, potatoes, etc. Maybe I miss the bread...I can email you a Keto "bread" recipe, works great.
Awesome book Mr. Akers, I just did my first video a couple weeks ago. And I plan on doing a lot more. I hope the manufacturing plant I work at, looks like yours some day!
You can write books like lean hapiness, lean home, lean cooking and books about how your employees use lean in their life it will be awesome and very very beneficial... ❤❤🎉🎉
Have you done any seminars on LEAN SIX SIGMA? I am wanting to learn more about LEAN SIX SIGMA and feel that you are incredibly great at making these strategies easy to learn. your "Lean Is Simple" seminar was amazing. Thank you.
I was about to ask for a track marked copy and here it is! :) Thanks Paul, I should've known that you'd have this! :) Could you also do the audio download with track marks if you haven't already.
Hi Paul Do you have a dedicated workcentre for each one of your products. We have a large range of products so should we try make small jigs that can be moved in and out of the same workcentre or create a dedicated cell/workcentre for that a specific product assembly?
I'm loving this! Really looking at this and seeing how I can apply it to software development. Would you happen to know any literature or text on this?
Ian The key to Lean is very simple. Most people prefer to complicate it. - understand that everything you do in life from brushing your teeth to making your lunch to managing your health is a process, there are no exceptions to this rule. - contained in every process is an abundance of the eight different kinds of waste. - learn to see the waves in these processes - eliminate the waste by making small improvements to the processes every day. - you always start with yourself. You have enough waste for 10 lifetimes. Never look at anyone else, Just start improving you! Lean is no more or no less than this it's that simple. Make sure you tell your people lean should be fun and that it should improve the quality of their life and their work. They will get it intuitively!
Hey Paul! It would be pretty lean if you added hyper links in the description to the time in the video where a chapter starts. Then there's no wasting time if you want to jump to a specific chapter. You could also add links in the "video" to the other videos you are referring to. I'm enjoying listing to this from my phone because it's so easy. I've got several questions as a result of the book though.
William Great to hear from you I will pass this on to my profile and see what we can do about getting that done if you have any questions for me I'm happy to answer them the best way to contact me though is on Voxer or WhatsApp or Voxer is my favorite.
William William I just talk to my tech guy and he told me that the annotations are still available if you listen to it on the computer but UA-cam took those away on the smart phones he's gonna go through and make the chapter breaks as you suggested it might take them a little while but working on it great idea.
Paul Akers / Greg I like that it has the times and that it links to a site with the videos. It does take me out of the UA-cam app which is not ideal but is probably the best solution for easily resuming the bill where you last were. This is good. Is it possible to make it so that when you click on the chapter time it jumps to that part in the video?
Hi William, Looks like UA-cam has a bit of a disconnect between their features on computers vs. smart phones/tablets. The timestamps link right to the chapter from a computer but don't appear as links on smartphones/tablets for some reason. I've contacted UA-cam to see if we can efficiently remedy that issue and awaiting their reply. I'll let you know when we have an answer. Greg
Hi Paul, A question, I love listen your books when I am in my lunch break, when need a pick me up motivation 🤣🤣, or I am doing something only can listen. You had a Playlist or can be a Playlist with all the books in 1 place, and can choice one quit 😊, no scrolling or take long to find it, please
Hi Elizabeth, you can always compile your own playlist of all the videos you would like and it will always be on your own page. Just click “Save” and select the playlist you want to add it too… if you go to my page you will see I have a playlist called “Favorites” and those are all videos I have added to that list.
I think we need a new category of LEAN, some of us practice LEAN, others dabble, but some of us are extreme, even Radical.....I think we need a place for us radical types. Radical lean would elevate it to almost a philosophy or like Bushido in Japan. Radical lean followers would be the cutting edge advancing the entire system. Worth a consideration.
Mr.Akers this is the first reply I ever got from you. I am very honored sir. Please if you ever need a collaborator on a book called Radical Lean please consider me. I even get in and out of elevators in a LEAN manner, it amazes people. I live it and breathe it 24/7. Your work is helping people world wide.@@paul-akers
I don't want to be too hard here because I think your basic principles work for people who have never asked "can it be done faster" but this book is obnoxious. Your whole point is to cut the fat, be lean and yet your book is thick and overflowing with fluff. You must mention the word lean like 1000 times. We got it the first 100. You could have used your own principles to scale this down to the core values you talk about and it would have fit in under 5 chapters. Adding 5 new chapters of mostly the same content on repeat added little value. Again, the stuff you talk about can help the people who don't think like this but for the ADHD among us, this book was too long.
As someone actually diagnosed with ADHD, I found the fluff enjoyable. However yes, a summarized version would be useful to save time...but also very boring.
The loan officer toured my facility and said: .." Paul Ill give you any amount of money you want!". 😅😅🤣 Sounds like your typical Bank Loan officer to me. Gtfo. I agree though, basic principles are here.
@@sarahwestliddle567 Finding fluff enjoyable with ADHD? Damn I must have a rare kind of ADHD that makes my focus shift so fast that I want things straight to the point in as less time as possible, otherwise you lose me.
What’s the point of writing any book if you just want the spark notes version of it? Most people don’t read books only just get the info-listening and reading books is for enjoyment. Every book has “fluff” Repetition is also important in learning to really drill down the core knowledge. You won’t get points down without lots of exposure to them.
Wow, I just lost seven minutes and sixteen seconds of my life! Perhaps I need to start a channel explaining how people can be more effective by getting to the point a bit (a lot) quicker.
Oh wow..Paul, I love your passion and enthusiasm and positive high energy. 💜🤗 My friend recommended this book when I was talking about crappy corporate and I found it while with him yesterday. This isn't what I was looking for yet deep down it WAS if that makes sense. On a subconscious level.
Thank you for releasing this book for free I appreciate it
You are very welcome! Pass it on to others!
The cool thing is I have a new app and you can listen to all my books and nine languages and everything is free.

Hi Paul, Just sharing one way to make it much easier to remember the 8 Wastes. Key word is DOWNTIME.
D - Defects
O - Overproduction
W - Waiting time
N - Not ulitizing talent
T - Transportation
I - Inventory
M - Motion Waste
E - Excess Processing.
Thanks for sharing your experience in executing lean culture. It is very valuable, it adds immense value to day. I'm a beginner here and now taking a different approach to my area of responsibility. Cheers!

I think we need a new category of LEAN, some of us practice LEAN, others dabble, but some of us are extreme, even Radical.....I think we need a place for us radical types. Radical lean would elevate it to almost a philosophy or like Bushido in Japan. Radical lean followers would be the cutting edge advancing the entire system. Worth a consideration.
You are 1000% right you are 1000% right you are 1000% right thank you
Mr.Akers this is the first reply I ever got from you. I am very honored sir. Please if you ever need a collaborator on a book called Radical Lean please consider me. I even get in and out of elevators in a LEAN manner, it amazes people. I live it and breathe it 24/7. Your work is helping people world wide.@@paul-akers
This stuff works, I drank the koolai-aid, enjoy it with me.

So what actually is lean? Because all I’ve heard is what lean does for your company not what it is
The ability to see the waste in everything you do and systematically eliminate it through small improvements on a daily bases
It’s a mindset :) 🙏🏽

Could you please make translation in Arabic language
Ilove my Kids My book is in Arabic the audio version is not completed if you go to my website PaulAkers.net you could download it right now.
I don't want to be too hard here because I think your basic principles work for people who have never asked "can it be done faster" but this book is obnoxious. Your whole point is to cut the fat, be lean and yet your book is thick and overflowing with fluff. You must mention the word lean like 1000 times. We got it the first 100. You could have used your own principles to scale this down to the core values you talk about and it would have fit in under 5 chapters. Adding 5 new chapters of mostly the same content on repeat added little value. Again, the stuff you talk about can help the people who don't think like this but for the ADHD among us, this book was too long.
As someone actually diagnosed with ADHD, I found the fluff enjoyable. However yes, a summarized version would be useful to save time...but also very boring.
Recommend us better content?
The loan officer toured my facility and said: .." Paul Ill give you any amount of money you want!". 😅😅🤣 Sounds like your typical Bank Loan officer to me. Gtfo. I agree though, basic principles are here.
@@sarahwestliddle567 Finding fluff enjoyable with ADHD?
Damn I must have a rare kind of ADHD that makes my focus shift so fast that I want things straight to the point in as less time as possible, otherwise you lose me.
What’s the point of writing any book if you just want the spark notes version of it? Most people don’t read books only just get the info-listening and reading books is for enjoyment. Every book has “fluff”
Repetition is also important in learning to really drill down the core knowledge. You won’t get points down without lots of exposure to them.
Wow, I just lost seven minutes and sixteen seconds of my life! Perhaps I need to start a channel explaining how people can be more effective by getting to the point a bit (a lot) quicker.
It just goes to show yeah we’re all waste generators including me!
Which are the 7:16 of waste?
@Kevin and Erika You also wasted minutes writing such an uninspired, boring, and unproductive comment. 😂
@@YumegakaMurakumo Haha, and so did you - it must be catching 😂👍
@@ekmakes8969 read or listen to the rest of the book and take something from it instead of being a dickhead
all he is doing is promoting his own products.. ;)
Clearly you don't know Paul because you could not be further from the truth...
Really - this is what you took from this! I feel sorry that you don't see the big message. Try listening again with an open mind.
Oh wow..Paul, I love your passion and enthusiasm and positive high energy. 💜🤗
My friend recommended this book when I was talking about crappy corporate and I found it while with him yesterday. This isn't what I was looking for yet deep down it WAS if that makes sense. On a subconscious level.
