THE GURU COMES DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAIN

Accompany the worlds greatest consultant as he analyzes manufacturing processes at an AT&T facility in 1990. This is the only documented footage that shows Dr. Shingo on the shop floor addressing quality and defects in his customary straightforward and often humorous manner. We have enhanced the raw VHS footage to provide the clearest image and sound as possible and added subtitles to reinforce key points.

Some of the topics covered by Dr. Shingo include:

• Mistake Proofing (Poka–Yoke)
• Goal of Zero Defects
• Fundamentals of Automation (Jidoka)
• The final chapter of this first video features a Question & Answer session that illustrates Dr. Shingo’s world-wide reputation as manufacturing’s greatest teacher.

We are proud to present the first of three exclusive videos that highlight the methods used by the inventor of the Scientific Thinking Mechanism. The STM is a powerful tool that Dr. Shingo invented to teach people how to manage creativity to produce solutions that work. The insights gained from these videos will fuel your internal drive to champion Lean Manufacturing.
