I said to myself “there has to be a better way” I started researching and came across Lean on YouTube. Being exposed to this new way of thinking was a light bulb moment for me. I went into work the next day after discovering ‘2 Second Lean’ and I announced to our entire team that we were going to start practicing this transformative business philosophy.</p> <p>Now my business stands as an example of world class Lean Manufacturing.
