How did Art Byrne apply it and create great success stories for American Manufacturing companies?
Speaker Art Bryne While serving as CEO or an equivalent position, Byrne implemented lean principles in more than 30 companies (including subsidiaries) and 14 countries during the past 30 years, giving him a matchless knowledge of how to turn around companies using a lean strategy. Byrne began his lean journey as general manager at the General Electric Company. Later, as group executive, he helped introduce lean to the Danaher Corporation. As CEO of The Wiremold Company he quadrupled the company size and increased its enterprise value by 2,500% in less than 10 years.
Speaker Jim Benson is a Shingo-prize winning author, a civil engineer, an urban planner, a business-owner, a consultant, and owns seven bar-be-ques. He’s worked with cities as small as Albion, Michigan, and run multi-million dollar projects for the United Nations. He’s planned and designed light rail systems, freeways, and the transportation plans for literally every city in Oregon (and was glad when that project was over) He owned a successful software company and, as a consultant has worked with nobel prize winners, Fortune 10 companies, small two-person restaurants, governments, and so on. He is on the faculty of the Lean Enterprise Institute and the Deming Institute. He loves this stuff.
