E107: Lean Methods for Sustainable Businesses – ISBF Webinar Series
Update: 2023-12-12
Description
In this podcast, I share a presentation that was Part 1 of a 2-part sustainability webinar series sponsored by Iowa Sustainable Business Forum and Iowa Lean Consortium (part of CIRAS). It was geared towards introducing those in sustainability roles to Lean methods, which have become some of the most popular improvement methods used in high-performing organizations in manufacturing, healthcare, government and many other industries. Lean is a continuous improvement method that applies to many organizations – not just manufacturers. I share the basic pillars and principles of Lean along with case studies of how organizations like the St Bernard Project, City of Denver, Free Geek, and Province of Saskatchewan have applied Lean to reduce environmental and social issues. Through this video and podcast, you will learn:* The origins of Lean methods along with the basic principles
* About the eight types of waste, and how they impact the environment negatively
* How Lean has been applied to other organizations looking to improve their environmental or social impact
* About resources and websites to enhance your Lean knowledge You can watch the video below, or go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aHHIap4-0k
