Lessons from the Gemba Summit in Belfast | Lean Built - Manufacturing Freedom E119

Fresh off the Gemba Summit in Belfast, Andrew shares lessons from across the pond with Jay. What starts as a deep dive into lean culture at the Titanic Belfast turns into a candid conversation about scaling small businesses, visiting your vendors, and rethinking what it means to “fix what bugs you.”

Andrew and Jay unpack how lean principles evolve when your company outgrows the two-second mindset. Andrews tells about conversations with Toyota UK’s Alan Weir, British Rototherm’s Oliver Conger, and Tom Hughes of GembaDocs. They also discuss the practical takeaways from Greg Crabtree’s Simple Numbers and Jerry Wright’s The Insanity Trap.
