Hi, it's episode 5 of our “Lean Whiskey” podcast where we mostly talk about Lean and maybe chat just little bit about whiskey.
Joining me today is a guest host, my friend Paul Critchley. Paul has been a guest blogger here on LeanBlog.org. A few months back, we also collaborated to host a “Measures of Success” workshop in Massachusetts. We had some whiskey together after the workshop so we're doing the same here in the podcast.
In today's episode, we talk about whiskeys from places we visited recently. We'll get into meatier issues related to Lean transformation, automation, leadership, and the future of jobs. Then, we whine about a few pet peeves (actually, Paul's was far more substantive than a peeve).
Jamie Flinchbaugh will be back for Episode #6. Thanks for listening and scroll down to listen, get show notes and links, and more.

Episode #5 Show Notes
- Whiskeys — Theme: A place you've visited recently
- Paul: Ole Smoky Straight Bourbon Whiskey from Gatlinburg, TN Aged 4 years in white oak barrels
- Mark: Rabbit Hole Straight Bourbon Whiskey finished in PX Sherry Casks
- Mark can't help talking about layout, flow, and the value stream…
- In the news:
- Mark introduces this article — not really news, but a good piece from The Lean Post (Lean Enterprise Institute)
- “How Are You Supporting Your Own Lean Transformation?” by Dr. Lisa Yerien of Cleveland Clinic
- Mark introduces this article — not really news, but a good piece from The Lean Post (Lean Enterprise Institute)
- Lean Pet Peeves
- The airing of the Lean grievances… it's Lean Festivus, LOL
- Mark:
- Jamie and I have both talked about “LEAN” in all caps before…Â
- I'll add articles that say “lean Six Sigma” where Six Sigma is capitalized like a proper noun, but lean is not. I asked the editor of the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers about this inconsistency and he pointed to the AP Style Guide or something. So, that's a form of “standard work” but does the publication really have to follow it?
- Paul — a more substantive issue
- Lean failure rates
- Paul's blog post about this
- Back to the news
- Paul introduces this article from IndustryWeek
- “No, Automation Is Not Causing a Decline in Workers' Income“
- Fun question – what's a non-Lean podcast you really like?
- Paul — The Crime Junkie Podcast
- Mark — Dan Le Batard Show – ESPN, but not really sports
