Our Lean Whiskey Debut; Fiat Chrysler Plan; Getting Started with Lean

Recorded April 14, 2019 -- Mark and Jamie chat out their hopes for the podcast, “lean coffee,” a news story about a Fiat Chrysler plant, a reader question about getting started with lean, and more.

In the very first episode of Lean Whiskey, Mark Graban and Jamie Flinchbaugh, longtime friends, lean thinkers, and whiskey enthusiasts, join forces to enjoy a casual conversation — mostly about lean and a little bit about whiskey.

In Episode 1, which we labeled as a “wet run” instead of a “dry run”, we share some of our joint interests, explore our whiskey choices, react to an article about lean in the news, and take a listener question. What follows are some topics and relevant links:

• Mark and Jamie both attended MIT's Leaders for Manufacturing program, now rebranded as Leaders for Global Operations
• Mark shared his selection for non-Kentucky American whiskey as Garrison Brothers — the award-winning Balmorhea release
• Jamie shared his Wyoming Whiskey Outryder
• Mark and Jamie discussed this article about the Toledo Jeep factory
