 Are you concerned about job related stress? 
Are you worried about your company's future
Are you troubled by slow growth and earnings?

If so, you've come to the right place. Here you'll find 
a cost-effective, "win-win," training opportunity to 
help you and your company reach their full 
growth and earning potentials.


Do any of these problems plague your operation?

  • Too many challenges on your plate

  • Problematic ERP/MRP systems integrity

  • Production and quality problem finger pointing 

  • Poor inventory utilization performance

  • Shop floor fire-fighting and an end-of-month crunch

  • Supplier rejects and untimely shipments

  • Production scrap and rework

  • Customer returns and warrantee charges

  • Scheduling confusion cause by MRP reschedules.

If you answered YES to any of the above, you no doubt will find value for whatever time you spend reviewing the content of this lean manufacturing training Web page.

Individual and company success is relative to how well they master the basics of their profession... basics that provide the foundation for optimizing performance and results. Without a tenacious execution of these basics, individuals and companies will never reach their full growth and earning potentials.

8-Basics of Kaizen Based Lean Manufacturing™ 

If you've ever said, "There must be a better way." 
... there is, and it's not more computerization!

If you are in search of a better way to run your business, you have come to the right place. Here you will find Bill Gaw's 8-Basics of Kaizen Based Lean Manufacturing™ ... 8-BASICS for optimizing MRP, ERP, and lean manufacturing implementation success... 8-BASICS for increasing speed, improving quality and reducing operating cost... 8-BASICS for bullet-proofing solutions that permanently eliminate factory chaos and the end-of-the-month crunch... 8-BASICS for creating a fun working environment.

The mastering of Bill's lean manufacturing training can help you and your company reach their full growth and earnings potentials. Best of all, work will become fun again.   

It's the Basics, Friend!

I realize the word "BASICS " is not very sexy. But it is a very important thing to understand. 


Many years ago Vince Lombardi led the Green Bay Packers football team to unprecedented success by having an almost obsessive focus on doing the BASICS very well. 

It’s amazing how many individuals and companies have great visions yet fail to achieve their full growth and earning potentials. They're a lot like the Green Bay Packer's football team before the arrival of Vince Lombardi... all the potential in the world but with no focus on executing the basics of their business. 

The fact is, the basics of lean manufacturing... the things that serve as a solid foundation for growing and enduring success have not changed since before I was born... and won't change after you're dust.

It's tempting to think that they do... that the introduction of a new panacea like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relations Management, (CRM) and/or Six Sigma can change the basics.

I understand the temptation.

I can only caution against it, and invite you --- urge you --- to be a serious student of manufacturing history and both the evolution and revolution in manufacturing.

Mastering the proven basics of what has worked in the past will give you the foundation needed to predict what will work today... and tomorrow!  

Are you aware that much of the Japanese world class manufacturing success can be attributed to their study and mastery of Henry Ford's manufacturing basics.


Henry Ford first introduced manufacturing basics at his River Rouge operation in 1920. Using these basics as a basis for his production line concept, the Ford plant was able to go from receipt of iron ore to casting the engine block, and to shipment of the machined engine block in a final assembled car in an astonishing forty-eight hours. NOW THAT'S LEAN!

The Japanese used Ford's manufacturing basics and Juran's & Deming's quality concepts as their roadmap to world class manufacturing.

The first thing lean manufacturing teams need to do is identify the basics that are requisites to change initiative success. Next, they need to provide a process for obtaining “top-to-bottom,” company commitment to the flawless execution of these basics. This commitment becomes a launching pad for achievements beyond all expectations.

The mastering of Bill's lean manufacturing basics can help you and your company reach their full growth and earnings potentials. Best of all, work will become fun again. 

And, it's the "how to" that really makes a difference.

"The more you know how to do, and 
the better you do it, the more valuable you become."

Most lean manufacturing implementation materials today are PowerPoint® presentations... a simple slide show. Bill Gaw's e-Tutorial on the other hand include 180 powerful, PowerPoint® graphics, "plus" annotated note pages with explanations, and "lessons learned" by Bill Gaw, a "been there, done that" manufacturing professional. A  value added, learning experience on "how to" design, implement, and deploy lean manufacturing for personal and company success.


One of our customers saying it even better than we can:

"Bill Gaw's training is focused on the "how to." Unlike other lean manufacturing implementation materials that tell you only what you need to do... Bill present what you need to do and then he shows you how to do it."

                                    T.J. Imholts, VP Operations, Adstore Inc.
