In Episode 18 of Force Tech Talk, Force Technologies’ Commercial Director, Charlotte Hughes, and Quality Engineer, Eder Fortes, dive deep into the most critical aspect of Lean methodology: Underutilised People’s Skills.
While many organisations focus on the physical seven wastes of Lean, failing to leverage the collective “brain power” of the workforce makes it impossible to fight the other seven effectively.
In this technical deep-dive, we cover:
The Concept of Gemba: Understanding the importance of the “real place” where value is created and why friction here stalls progress.
Culture as a Catalyst: How Force Technologies is shifting its internal culture to involve more staff in problem-solving and new initiatives.
Practical Tools (Kanban): A look at how we implemented Kanban boards to chase tasks, not people, and how this drives accountability and commitment.
Customer-Centric Outcomes: Why improving internal process engineering directly impacts lead times and quality for our partners in the defence and aerospace sectors.
About Force Technologies: With 40 years of experience, Force Technologies specialises in providing solutions for obsolete semiconductors. By maintaining a culture of continuous improvement, we ensure that our MRO, Prime, and CEM partners can extend the life of their legacy systems with confidence
