Lean Manufacturing is Changing VIBCO


Adopting and embracing Lean is about more than simply reducing waste and improving processes. It's about a revolutionary change in organizational culture. Lean isn't something that individual employees "do", it is how a whole organization "lives and breathes". VIBCO has undergone a remarkable cultural metamorphosis via our Lean efforts and we are firmly committed to the sideways sharing of our knowledge and experience — yokoten. We believe in the collective power of lean to transform our economy and create a better future.

The Lean Nation radio show hosted by VIBCO President, Karl Wadensten, airs daily from 4-5pm on 790AM Talk and Business in Providence, RI. The Lean Nation is globally available via webstream.
