Measure customer lead time, not utilization

In this episode, I read off an article I just wrote, based on my 20+ years of teaching Lean concepts and principles. These are the topics that get the most attention, solicit the most questions, or are the most eye-opening for my students and clients. 

I also announce the launch of a new Lean course I helped create, called Lean Fundamentals.

You can access the FREE Lean Introduction course (first 5 modules) using coupon code "KICKSTARTLEAN-LSSE"
