Lean Manufacturing Blog

The author of this blog is Michael Baker, and here's a little bit about him in his own words:

"Just to give you a little background on me.

I have been working in manufacturing/production for 12 years now, ever since I was Honorably Discharged from the Nuclear Navy. I was an MM during my 6 years.

I have held various positions in this industry, including: Quality Manager, Quality Assurance Supervisor, Production Supervisor, Quality Engineer, and currently Industrial Engineer. I have worked on all 3 sides of production.

I also have my BS in Nuclear Engineering Technology, which I obtained in 3.5 years while going to school at night and still working full time during the day. Obviously, I have yet to really use the 'nuclear' part of this degree, but it has opened doors.

I do not consider myself some sort of guru or expert, although I think I have a pretty good understanding of Lean. I have been one of the major players at each of the companies I have been at, and have implemented big cost savings projects and initiatives. I'll get into some of these later on, as I just don't have enough room here.

But from plant layouts, to product travel, to automating certain processes (not robotic automation), to training, to writing procedures, and a few more things I am sure I am leaving out, I have seemed to cover much of them."
