I have always considered PDCA as the culture of Lean. I get frustrated when I hear about Lean only discussed in terms of flow and waste reduction. In a recent Business901 Podcast, Gemba Coach talks PDCA, Dr. Michael Balle and myself had a discussion on this subject. This is a transcription of the podcast.
Dr. Balle is a multiple Shingo Prize winner as an author of the The Gold Mine and The Lean Manager. His newest Shingo Prize was on the adaption of The Gold Mine: A Novel of Lean Turnaround to an audiobook that features performances by multiple readers who bring its realistic business story and characters to life.
Dr. Michael Balle is the Gemba Coach at the Lean Enterprise Institute
