Seeing Waste: The Toyota Production System and the Lean Mindset

from Intellectually Curious · host Mike Breault

What if continuous improvement isn’t about working harder, but spotting waste others miss? We unpack Toyota’s Production System—the ideas of muda, mura, muri—and the two pillars JIT and jidoka, plus kaizen, genchi genbutsu, and hansei. Explore nonprofit case studies and learn how to apply these lessons to your own projects by turning friction into value.Note:  This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.  Please double-check any critical information.Sponsored by Embersilk LLC
