AME Toronto, Lean Accounting, and BMW X5 Seat Manufacturing!

By Ron Pereira Updated on December 7th, 2017

We’ve been EXTREMELY busy over at Gemba Academy! Here’s a short list of what we’ve been up to:

  1. We talked all things lean with John Shook, Jim Womack, and Dan Jones at the recent AME conference in Toronto.  This 70 minute interview is in post production and will be available soon!  Trust me when I say this is 70 minutes of video you will NOT want to miss.
  2. Kevin Meyer, co-founder of Gemba Academy, interviewed Jean Cunningham and talked Lean Accounting.
  3. We shot a Gemba Live! episode at Lear Corporation where they make the seats for the BMW X5.
  4. We shot Gemba Live episodes at NFI Industries, a 3PL, and Platt Tech, a vocational high school in CT, where young adults s are learning all about lean.  Super inspiring stuff!
  5. And we’re preparing for our next “studio” course where we’ll take a deep dive into the topic of Lean Accounting.
