About this listen

In this episode of OpEx Podcast, we sit down with Bill Katsilis, a veteran of lean manufacturing with deep experience working alongside the original Japanese masters of operational excellence. With decades spent transforming businesses worldwide, Bill shares lessons from the factory floor, insights on the evolution of lean, and stories from his work across 60+ countries. We also explore how humor can make change management more effective, the importance of seeing processes with fresh eyes, and the surprising connections between stand-up comedy and continuous improvement. If you've ever wondered how a manufacturing veteran transitions to stand-up comedy, this episode has you covered. Get ready for a conversation filled with wisdom, humor, and some unexpected bloopers we left in—because, as we like to put it, “Say yes to the mess.”
