It is about leadership, discipline, problem solving, process improvement, and building organizations that can execute consistently in the real world.

    This episode introduces the themes that will guide the show: Lean thinking, quality improvement, daily management, root cause analysis, standard work, leadership behavior, accountability, culture, and factory transformation.
