This episode is jam-packed with tips and stories from our previous lean exploits. Picking up from an audience question, the team quickly get on to the topic of discussing their 'Best' Operator experiences. Also, how lean (if applied effectively) should helping the operator through making life less painful whilst maintaining safety levels and quality product. John discusses his 'Ingot' experience, Alan his 'calm under pressure' employee, whilst Russell reflects on a 'gliding' Japanese operator.

The #TRIL Team then discuss the sharing of best practice and where it works well and not so well. From individual to individual, to plant to plant in a global corporation. The phrase "Buddy" Plant is discussed.

Finally, Russell begins to teach us some Japanese terms that may come in useful!!
