In this podcast, I share a “Lean and Green” case study I supported for a prefab home manufacturer in California in 2020-2021. I was asked to speak to the Industrial and Systems Engineers class by Professor Corey Kiassat at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, CT. He contacted me after my presentation at the Lean Global Connection conference in 2022 and my first book Lean Six Sigma for Good, to see if I could share some more Lean and Green case studies. He is incorporating more sustainability into his coursework. The case study discusses how this organization took the online Lean training from 6sigma.us and the coaching from me to evaluate their processes. They identified many opportunities using process and spaghetti maps, 5s, time studies, visual controls and preventative maintenance. After the improvements, they saved $6,000 per week in material cost, and $3,000 per month in wood waste. They reduced 165 hours of time in the processes, and saved a total of $290K per year.
