I'm very excited to announce that I will be recording a LeanBlog Podcast interview with Dr. Sami Bahri, the “First Lean Dentist,” on Tuesday July 17. If you have any questions for Dr. Bahri, you can email me at leanpodcast@gmail.com or you can send me a voicemail question by calling 817-776-LEAN (or contacting me via skype ID “mgraban”).
Here's a quick Google link to articles about Dr. Bahri.
Dr. Bahri presented at the Shingo Prize conference and has been featured in articles by the Lean Enterprise Institute, American Society for Quality, and the Society for Manufacturing Engineers, among others.
Dean Bliss also wrote a guest blog piece about seeing Dr. Bahri speak.
Here is a recent article from his local Jacksonville newspaper.
