FastCap Lean Tour 2.0

[Music] everyone Paulie Corso I'm a fastcap and I get so many calls and emails every day people say we want to come tour here you want to see what you're doing well the bottom line is we only get about eight tours a year now because we have ten requests a day it's just crazy and we can't do that because we have to work so I'm going to tell you the tour requirements number one you have to make a minimum of 100 videos and your CEO has to be present regardless of the size of your company and you have to be doing lean actively a morning meeting three asking if doing all those things so those are the minimum requirements before we even consider it because we don't have time basically to convince you that lean is the right thing as far as we're concerned lean is like the only way and if you don't get that well when you get it then maybe we'll consider letting you come here but only after you've proven it to us because you've actually implemented and built a lean culture you want to come here to further your league learning so that's the basic requirement but what I'm going to do real quick though and is give you a quick tour of our facility because the bottom line is we've produced over 2000 videos 5 million years the lean toward video alone as I think 170,000 views right now from people all over the world so we've actually created lean learning tools the lean way you don't have to come all the way to Billingham Washington to check out what we're doing so that's one of the other reasons why it's way leaner just to watch the videos yes it's inspiring to come here and see what we're doing but the bottom line is you've got to go to a pretty high level before you let you come here so when you walk in the front door you can see our office it's all stand-up we've made all the pipe deaths out of fast pipe it's very cool and you can see we don't have any walls because that's the back room floor right there shipping and receiving connected right to everything we're doing and most importantly this is my desk this is my office and this is my crazy dog Yoshi right here thinly as could be and so I'm just going to scoot it around a little quick and I'm going to show you a fast captain you don't have to come here you can get an idea of all the cool things we're doing so the first stop is the showroom which is really really cool and showroom everything's on wheels as well and you can see all of our cool products or best vent system our great Cayenne foam panel here our conference room which is world-famous because there's no chairs check that out we have a nice little display here of the history of health products and results going from the rude early going from the crude all the way up to the finished product we both the laser jam and different products we have a simple rolling board where we have our leadership meeting all the time and it's very lean very efficient because we're standing up and we're not wasting a lot of time everyone getting comfortable we get back to work doing the value-added work for our customer so then now this is reminiscent of a chore I did several years ago that's so popular and then of course my hot car amazing Porsche it's gets parked right there and then this is graphic design right here notice everything's on wheels everybody scanning up so this graphic design marketing that's where all this happened again the showrooms behind me and we have the most amazing bathroom in the whole world which I'm going to show you right now which is one of our claim to fame of course a nice 8-step process right there on how the bathrooms clean she's responsible for cleaning it I actually cleaned the bathroom this morning president country and I clean the bathroom because everybody takes responsibility for everything everything is flawless clean immaculate look at this is the best out into the whole world better than the ritz-carlton I stay in the wrist Carlton sometimes of time and my bathrooms are way way way way way way way way way better because we have Japanese the Kate Willett seats to heat your everyone the only place the people I can fit in our place so it is just rock and roll immaculate clean check this out you walk into our supply room look at this it's just magic cleaning stations for all the different areas everything's convo and everything's dialed in there's not a mess anywhere in fastcap everything is so perfect because we take the time to improve everything that's a two-second lien is all about we're always improving everything so all about this are standardized the men's and women's of the same notes and then seat are down there's no toilet paper there's cleaning stations for everything everything's totally dialed in and it stays that way all day long because we keep the Rope tight we say we keep the Rope so tight you could bounce a dime to the moon that means we hold very high standards and everything we do so this is the way we maintain a great work environment so this is a cool little area up here a little place you can have coffee you can sit down and relax if you want over here this is our training center right here and this is our gym up over here and this is our dojo where we actually train people on how to do need improvements so let's continue on one other amazing thing is we get around our entire facility on these little razor scooters which allows us to overcome the huge area of course you can do that because the floors are spotless all day okay so now we come over to the kitchen area of course no walls again this is where we eat notice the tables perfectly clean everybody cleans up after themselves with the chairs and wipes up everything flawless you know our famous magnetic salt and pepper shakers everything's dialed in everywhere and of course our kitchen which for dinner there's no kitchen world like our kitchen confiar who has kitchen drawers like this tell me about this who has kitchen drawers like this no cupboards low levels of inventory on the plate because the dishwasher does a load in - and of course an eight-step process for cleaning the kitchen and the forks and spoons and the knifes are all very neatly arranged so they're easy and visual so this is the way we maintain very high standards here we're trying to be thoughtful about everything Oh a great new improvement that we made is this is our mistake and zero action aboard so every day somebody updates their name on whether or not they had an accent or what not they made the entire day without making a mistake very very cool and this is our grateful box right here which is also awesome so for years now we've been all putting our grapples in six a day from everyone in the company and we never fill it up because we want to be grateful people and that is the key to life right there and this area right off the kitchen where we eat this is where we have our morning meeting and every morning where everyone meets we call it the sandbox is where we play teach and learn so we'll continue on it's our main production area so this is all down production row right here and these are all our machines that are doing just-in-time producing everything is just
