I have used it in many hospital and healthcare settings as a fun and unintimidating way of gaining practice in observing a process and looking for waste.

We had already done some introductory lean overview training, including talking about the types of waste. The laboratory team liked being able to point out waste in someone else's process. I encouraged them to do so while the "current state" was playing and we even found some waste in the "future state" toast making.

I sent my formal complaint to GBMP and they said they were going to get back to me months ago. Sorry, stick to the English version until it is improved.

I guess if you're in a factory that hasn't yet been introduced to lean, I'm surprised you're even still in business, forget the lean training!

Cooking examples help explain bills of material, standard work, bringing the work to the workplace (mise en place), work processes, process improvement, the cost of defects (burned food) and rework (yuk)... the list goes on.<br/><br/>I think I'm going to have to get a copy of this for training.

He allows the viewers to pause and talk about process improvements, then shows them the principles simply.

Last time I saw it, the maintenance guys were sitting behind me, grumbling. I told them that they’d like it – it’s funny — and sure enough, they came around.

Mark, let’s not get too competitive, or I’ll bring out my butter kanban and office coffee replenishment system!
