🚀 Over the past two weeks, 17 professionals from nine different organizations dove into the world of Lean during two action-packed One Day Lean Overview sessions led by Dave Rizzardo.

📍 One session took place at Chesapeake College on the Eastern Shore, while the other was hosted by Hub Labels in Hagerstown. Both events were filled with hands-on learning, real-world insights, and plenty of fun!

🔧 A highlight of the day was the simulated product assembly line, where participants rolled up their sleeves and tackled three rapid-fire production rounds spread throughout the day.

💡 This "learn by doing" approach—learn, apply, improve, and repeat—kept the energy high and the lessons practical. With each round, teams worked together to refine their processes, and by the final round, they successfully met the customer’s requirements! ✅

🤔 How did we fit all that learning and production into a single day?
Simple—the production "shifts" were just three minutes long. (No sore muscles here! 💪) But the real magic happened during the debriefs, where participants analyzed their results and planned improvements for the next rounds.

📊 By the end of the day, attendees didn’t just walk away with a deeper understanding of Lean principles and powerful tools—they experienced firsthand how small, continuous improvements drive big results.

👏 A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for these dynamic sessions—your engagement and teamwork made it a day to remember!
