Exciting News!
I will be a guest on the world famous The Lean Nation radio show TODAY, June 9th, from 4-5pm (ET) on 790 AM Talk and Business, hosted by Karl Wadensten. Today, guest host Linda Kleineberg will take over for Karl, and we’re going to discuss The Eighth Waste of Lean: Unused Human Creativity. This topic is at the core of My Flexible Pencil and is, in the eyes of some, the root of all other Lean Wastes. I’m looking forward to sharing my insights on air to a wide audience of business leaders and change agents.

The Lean Nation is the hottest new show on 790AM and airs from 4-5pm, weekdays and streams online at 790business.com. The Lean Nation features real world examples and actionable advice from local and national business leaders on how to reinvent yourself into a lean operation in business and in life. The show’s host, Karl Wadensten, is the president of VIBCO, a Rhode Islandmanufacturing company. Over the last 3 years VIBCO has created a Lean Revolution, using lean methodologies (based on the Toyota Production System).
Under Karl’s leadership, VIBCO is now a high performing business culture where lead times for over 1,300 SKUs have dropped from 4-6 weeks to “same day, next day”, inventory has been reduced by more than 50%, over 10,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing floor space is now freed up to accept future growth, and sales are well above industry trends. These impressive improvements are the result of a workforce that is empowered to improve every day and understands the power of Lean Thinking. Listen to The Lean Nation to learn how you can get similar results to do more with less!
