Hi everyone we are going to be suggesting some other places to look for Lean Lessons that will show use that even if the names get changed in some situations they concepts are still those that drive Lean.
Reality television has brought us many new shows and channels. Some of the best of these are come in the culinary field. One such show that truly highlights the benefits of Lean features British Chef Gordon Ramsay. The show is Kitchen Nightmares by the Fox network, and the British version was Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares by the BBC. In both series you see Ramsay work to try and save a struggling restaurant from closure.
As you watch the shows, you see how Ramsay works to improve process flow, reduce inventory, eliminate defects and rework, and build quality into the product. To do that he uses his understanding of what the customer truly wants and needs, so that he can deliver to them a product and experience that they will consider of value.
He may never use many of our words such as 5S, or Value Stream Mapping, yet what he is doing on the show is applying Lean in a totally practical way.
His shows are worth watching for more info search Google in your area, and here is a link to Fox’s Website just click the picture.
