The LeanSuite Podcast by Angad Singh

Angad talks about why continuous improvement rollouts stall when a company tries to open up everything at once, and what he tells clients to do instead. He covers the discovery conversation, the train the trainer approach, and staggering a rollout across facilities so the more advanced plants go first.

Angad talks about what happens when problems get logged, bounced around and closed without ever getting to the root cause. He covers capturing every problem in one place, tags that get reassigned instead of resolved, why a one point lesson expires after 60 days, and what it takes to make a fix stick.

Angad walks through why two lines down for the same ten minutes can cost you completely different amounts of money, and why downtime minutes alone hide the resultant losses. He talks about walking the floor hour by hour as a data analyst, how causal and resultant losses and cost buckets get mapped onto MES data, and what a prioritized loss tree changes in a war room. He also covers what happens to that prioritization when the underlying data isn't clean.
