On today's podcast, Molly welcomes back NCG Business Coach, Jim Bradley to continue the conversation on LEAN thinking and how to apply the concept to operational processes. LEAN is a concept that holds many tools in its toolbox that can be used to help us identify and overcome the barriers, problems, or interruptions to flow. You will quickly learn that FLOW plays a critical role in the LEAN concept. The first tool we're learning to use today is "TIMWOODS". (Yes, that is an acronym!) Listen in to learn what it is and how to help us identify forms of waste or "flow interrupters" in a process. A quick pro tip - be sure to listen to our intro to the LEAN principles episode released in October 2022 before jumping into this conversation.
