E104: The Lean Journey at Rockwell Collins with Clay Jones - Part 1

For the next few podcasts, I'll be sharing clips from a 2006 speech given by Rockwell Collins CEO, Clay Jones. I worked at Rockwell Collins from 1999-2017, and was heavily involved in the Lean Electronics program. I credit Clay and the "Lean Electronics" program for giving me the skills and experience to make this my passion, allowing me to eventually open up my consulting business, BPI.

In this video, you'll hear him discuss how he first learned about Lean from Boeing, and what the customers were telling him about their products and services and what needed to improve.
