  12. Output • Dollars per person per week has doubled • Standardized work • Focus on flow impediments

  13. What I would do different • Hire a work team expert – • much different than a lean expert • Begin with the end in mind • define, dream and document what the team looks like and then be comfortable knowing it will change • Be patient • Focus on defining, teaching, talking about, correcting & modeling good teammate behaviors
