Lean Saved Their Factory: Fire Prevention, Inventory Wins & Q4 Strategy | Lean Built - Manufacturing Freedom E123
About this episode
It's Cyber Monday, and Andrew and Jay dive into year-end strategy, the real cost of Black Friday sales, and why deep discounts often hurt more than they help. They also discuss how lean manufacturing practices literally saved an entire 60,000 sq ft facility after a major fire.
Elsewhere, Andrew shares the importance of using LinkedIn with intention, how handwritten notes beat (or should be combined with) AI transcription for capturing insights, and why business owners must prioritize end-of-year tasks before the December panic hits. Jay breaks down inventory strategy, shop-floor safety improvements, and the hard truth about tax planning, CPAs, and executing (not just dreaming) your business vision.
