TPM is long in the tooth, isn’t it time to reinvent seventy-year old system? Well, the stars aligned when George’s client and Mike Wroblewski came up with the same idea at the same time. Today, the UPTIME@ System for Equipment Effectiveness will forever change the way you look at and care for your equipment.
As a sensei, coach, consultant, author and keynote speaker, Mike shares his experience with the world. Mike is President and Founder of Dantotsu Consulting.
He is the co-author of the book Creating a Kaizen Culture which was selected for a 2015 Shingo Research and Professional Publication Award. Mike has over 25 years of experience in industrial engineering, continuous improvement and kaizen. He was the former Director of Kaizen Institute USA. He has also served as an internal consultant and Lean Sensei with Batesville Casket Company with three factories winning the IndustryWeek “Top 10 Best Plants” awards a total of nine times and one facility awarded Assembly Magazine North American Plant of the Year.
He is a Certified Six Sigma Black Belt from the Milwaukee School of Engineering with a Bachelors Degree from Miami University and Masters Degree from Kettering University. Mike is a popular keynote speaker at numerous national and international conferences sharing his insights and experiences leading kaizen.
He started his career at Motor Coach Industries in 1994 where he received Lean coaching by the best consultants in ERP systems, Just-in-Time manufacturing, and Total Quality Management. Having lead change for over 10 years, he later started a successful consulting practice in 2003. It grew to become one of Canada’s Fastest Growth Companies by 2006. George later partnered with Dr. Jeffrey K. Liker, best-selling author of the Toyota Way, and Norman Bodek, known as the Godfather of Lean. George is now one of the most knowledgeable people on the topic of Lean and more importantly, a practitioner and learner. George speaks at conferences where he met Mike Wroblewski. They have been friends ever since.
To implement AI applications you must start with a good core of leaders understanding how to problem solve. This book will get you there.
The Lean Leadership Development Model (LLDM) presented in this book is intuitive, and aligns well with accepted principles of operational excellence. It expands significantly on the elements of Lean, structuring them in a more specific way that can be operationalized by lean practitioners.
In Developing Lean Leaders at all Levels we build on the theory in the original book, The Toyota Way to Lean Leadership, and answer the questions: How can I apply this in my organization? What concrete actions can I take to begin the journey of becoming a lean leader? How can I spread this learning to all parts of the organization? What critical tools are needed to turn the theory to practice? TThe book treats you as a student who will be actively engaged in developing lean leader skills as you read. It acts as a tutorial for beginning the journey!
Today, George and Mike dedicate time to coaching high-level executives as well as teaching the next generation of leaders a better way to lead. They call this leadership excellence. These virtual master classes in leadership cover over twenty-seven topics and stretch through 10-weeks of learning with the masters. You will receive a certificate in “Leadership Excellence.”
Each certificate will have George and Mikes’s signatures for completing the instructor-led course.
The newly-created online course will be available by June, 2023. If you would like to be featured as a case study in this course, connect with us immediately as we are now taking on clients who wish to implement rather than discover. Connect now!
