Episode 10: The Face We See Least Often: Lessons from Shigeo Shingo on Attacking the Status Quo

September 24, 2021 • Shingo Institute, Jon M. Huntsman School of Business at Utah State University • Episode 10

In this episode of the Shingo Principles Podcast, we hear from Bruce Hamilton, President of GBMP, a Shingo Licensed Affiliate. Bruce is also a member of the Shingo Academy, a Shingo Examiner, and a Shingo Publication Award recipient.

Shigeo Shingo is best known to many for Lean techniques like SMED and poka-yoke, but these methods were born from Dr. Shingo’s higher purpose: a relentless and never-ending attack on the status quo. Dr. Shingo’s ability to cut to the heart of a problem is, in fact, what enabled the amazing technical breakthroughs that are attributed to him. In this podcast, Bruce shares his personal experience learning from Dr. Shingo.
