Other People’s Lead Times Are Killing Me | Lean Built - Manufacturing Freedom E89
About this episode
Andrew and Jay get real about one of the biggest headaches in the shop: waiting on other people. Whether it’s parts, processes, or just plain slow responses, Other People’s Lead Times (OPLT) can absolutely wreck your schedule. They talk through the tension between outsourcing and staying lean vs. trying to control the whole process. Would Henry-Ford style vertical integration ever be worth it? Plus tariff talk, the dark side of lean, and so much more.
