My goal for today was to give the highest-level overview of lean to my employees, and get them pumped about it.
And I succeeded! Ideas were flowing, energy was positive, people were excited!
I haven't done a full-staff meeting in months. My biggest weakness as a leader is lack of communication, and that's a part of this as well.
Here's were implementing to start (started today).
Morning meeting
The 3 S's
Every day, immediately following the morning meeting, we will do the 3 S'S
Sweep (clean our work area)
Sort (organize our work area and remove things that aren't necessary)
Standardize (work on a small change or improvement that will remove at least 2 seconds off of a process)
And that's it. For now, we will just do those things each morning, and see how things go.
The Lean rabbit hole is deep, and we will build upon it as we go.
The goal: empowering all of my employees to be leaders, and to take ownership of their work.

Morning meeting
- First thing, same time, every day.
- Go over metrics from previous day (sales, shipping errors, production mistakes, backlog status)
- Brief lesson on lean
- Share improvements made the previous day
