Lean Six Sigma Bursts

We share our takes and thoughts on a variety of topics related to process improvement (specifically Lean and Six Sigma methods), Bursts are rapid improvement activities, so this sounded like a good word to use for these short audio clips. We’ll try to keep them under 5 minutes each.

This is part 5 of the 2006 speech given by Rockwell Collins CEO, Clay Jones. I worked at Rockwell Collins from 1999-2017, and was heavily involved in the Lean Electronics program.

In this clip, you'll hear him discuss the 5 lessons learned from the first 8 years of the Lean journey at Rockwell Collins (1998 to 2006).

”If leadership isn't driving your Lean transformation, don't even start. It's like teaching a pig to talk. You're wasting your time, and you're annoying the pig” – Clay Jones

He shares some impressive results that were partly due to Lean implementation. Stock price increase of 260%, return on investment capital from 21% to 38%, sales almost doubled from $1.8B to $3.5B, net income over 80%, both business units over 18% operating margin, along with the traditional improvements to on-time delivery, customer acceptance (quality) and sales per employee.
