1000 SOPs in 120 Days at Fat American Manufacturing | SOP Tour

Описание: Tom Hughes summed it up best: “Without a standard, there can be no improvement.” At Fat American Manufacturing (‪@LeanbyDoing‬ ), the pursuit of excellence is clearly just getting started!

Join Tom, CEO of GembaDocs as he tours Fat American Manufacturing with Brian Meyers to uncover how Lean practices and 1,000 SOPs revolutionized their manufacturing operations - from creating clarity in complex process to instilling maintenance practices.

Brian takes us through the value they've all gained from standardization, integrating SOPs with Kanban systems, and the employee burden eased when knowledge is shared.

Thanks to Brian, and Team at Fat American Manufacturing for the video tour.
