When Simple Systems Beat Smart Ones | Lean Built - Manufacturing Freedom E130
About this episode
Jay and Andrew talk through everyday shop systems that seem simple until they aren’t: HVAC, shutdown routines, checklists, timers, and light automation. They compare notes on where “smart” solutions help and where they quietly create new problems, especially when reliability, safety, and human behavior matter more than elegance.
