But there’s one waste – in my opinion, the biggest one of all – that we don’t talk nearly enough about: the waste of employee turnover. It’s a huge problem – in the United States alone, 4.5 million workers quit their job every month! It’s gotten so bad that it has its own name – The Great Resignation.

To produce various products at high-volume, industrial manufacturing plants rely on circuit boards and electronics to precisely and efficiently control the process from the receipt of raw materials onward. Over time, these crucial components can be compromised by processes, chemicals, and airborne vapors that promote corrosion. The result can be costly unscheduled production downtime.

While the core principles of Lean are generally agreed upon (delivering value to the customer, eliminating waste, showing respect for people), one of the places where opinions differ is the application of Lean in Job Shop environments. In Lean-speak, we call these places “High Mix – Low Volume” environments. Because of this inherent variety in part mix and complexity, it does become very difficult to see the benefit of implementing some of the tenets of Lean.
