For years, I watched organizations invest in software, systems, and tools, yet warehouses stayed disorganized and inefficient.
The problem wasn’t technology.
It was the lack of standards.

In Episode 8 of Lean in Government, Part 2 of our warehouse transformation series, I share what happened after the initial improvements and what it took to sustain them.

We talk about the power of naming conventions, why speaking the same “inventory language” matters, and how tools like Cityworks only start working once Lean standards, visual management, and daily discipline are in place.

This episode focuses on moving from firefighting to predictability, from tribal knowledge to shared understanding, and from manual chaos to reliable, electronic inventory management.

If you manage warehouse, supply chain, fleet, or inventory operations, especially in government, this episode will resonate.

Warehouse inefficiency is not “normal.”
It’s expensive.

In Episode 6 of the Lean in Government podcast, we focus on one of the most powerful Lean tools for understanding and improving processes: Value Stream Mapping.

Many organizations struggle with delays, rework, and frustration, not because people are the problem, but because the process is broken. In this episode, I explain how Value Stream Mapping helps you:

• See the entire end-to-end process
• Identify real bottlenecks and constraints
• Separate value-added work from waste
• Expose hidden problems that slow teams down
• Make better decisions based on facts, not assumptions

This episode is especially relevant for government, public sector, healthcare, and service organizations, but the principles apply to any organization trying to improve flow, quality, and delivery.
