Manufacturing Engineers pride themselves on precision, but what if the biggest waste is hiding in plain sight—inside the equipment itself?
In this episode, we challenge the status quo: excess feeds, slow speeds, and bloated cycle times that no one questions. Even worse, capital equipment is often purchased without alignment to Lean principles—locking in inefficiency for years. Learn how to look at Capital Equipment from a Lean lens…you will find out that equipment vendors are not your friend!
We’ll break down how this happens, why it persists, and what engineers should be doing instead. If your machines are running, but not improving, this episode is for you.
