One of the key elements on my American Lean Weekday podcast is the weekly interviews that I conduct with companies on their Lean Journey. These companies are from various industries and are all different sizes. I have interviewed leaders from family-owned businesses to multi-national organizations. These are keynotes from a conversation with Tim Bayer, President of Hansen Plastics in Elgin Illinois. https://www.hansenplastics.com/ (Hansen Plastics) is an employee-owned (ESOP) and they maintain a can-do attitude because their employees are also owners. Respect and trust for each other are key elements of their True North. They have over 70 molding presses pressing custom parts across multiple industries. These are some key points taken from my interview with the President, Tin Bayer.  We started our Lean journey in 2012. I was excited to bring my family in and show them the shop and it did not look good. The presses were a mess and it didn't reflect well on us. "I realized I was making excuses for people. It was a reflection on me." "We wanted to design our culture and not have it by default. It went the way of default and we let it happen. We decided we needed to make a change."  "we've been able to cut our customer complaints by 1/2 each year. We've had sales per FTE increase every year. Scrap has decreased by 32% year over year." Our backlog has gone down from $615,000 to $2,000. "Our employees are better leaders because of the growth, but they are also better parents and spouses as well!"  "It's not just about the dollars, people feeling good, positive energy, everything that makes people want to come to work and do their best."  "We would chase shiny objects when we began doing kaizens events in the plant so we began policy deployment about four years ago. That helped keep us focused."  "We wanted to maximize our greatest asset- our employee owners. A big surprise has been how hard they have gone after getting to the root cause and making change. "There is no perfection so just go do it." http://getpodcast.reviews/id/1499224100 (Rate and Review Here) More show notes are https://americanlean.com/blog/hansen-plastics-sees-huge-success-from-their-12-year-lean-journey/ (here) https://americanlean.com/contact/ (Schedule a free 1/2 call) with Tom Reed.https://www.amazon.com/dp/1645162818 (Buy) the Lean Game Plan Follow me on https://twitter.com/dailyleancoach (Twitter@dailyleancoach)Join me on https://my.captivate.fm/www.linkedin.com/in/tomreedamericanlean (Linked In)

Paul Sharp of Straight Blast Gym Illinois and Sharp Defense comes on the show to provide some additional much needed perspective on the current anti-police sentiment, the state of Law Enforcement and the current riots. Paul is a veteran Elgin Illinois police officer, a black belt in Jiu-Jitsu and is a preeminent expert on multidisciplinary and integrated martial arts under the Shivworks Collective.  Paul hits on some history around previously used police weaponry and tactics in the 30-40s such as full auto BARs, military L-ambushes, and more,, yet the current attitude towards police is that they are too militarized.  Paul picks that myth and many more apart and provides some insight into his training philosophy and his incredible work ethic in the gym.  Paul shows us that he is a true lover of music and the EvoSec crew closes out the show with their accountability and the drill of the week. https://www.sbgillinois.com/ www.evosec.org EvoSec Drill of the week.  From 5 yards, 2 IDPA targets 3 feet apart.  String 1- Draw and fire 1 shot in T1 and one shot into T2.  Sting-2  Same drill except 2 shots on T1 and T2..  String 3- Repeat but with 3 shots on each T1 and T2.   Total up all three times, and add 1 sec added for any points down on the target.

I like how you can clearly review your projects and stash. You can also share your projects on facebook easily with the Wooly App.The reason why I love Wooly is that the Wooly app inserts your pictures first on your projects page instead of last like Ravelry does. This helps people on Iphones and Ipads easily update their project pages with the latest progress on their projects.You are able to see the basic information about the pattern such as which yarn weight, yardage and needle size is recommended if entered on your project page, however you are not able to see your pattern instructions or see the details about your yarn unless you specifically loaded that information when and if you entered it in your stash.This is because Ravelry had previously limited the types of information they would release to the developers to make the applications.I love Ravelry for access to Patterns and Yarns as well as sharing information in the forums.
