S5E4 Gospel on Manufacturing

Guest: Sandy Munro, Munro & Associates/Lean Design
4

Yet, another inspiring encounter with the great Sandy Munro, of Munro & Associates, and with their activities in product design, engineering and manufacturing solutions, that has revolutionized industries over decades.

In this episode, we hear Sandy Munro emphasizing the importance of manufacturing, and the profound knowledge it carries, and in a geo-political context of United States, Europe and China in particular. And the wisdoms shared are not few - remarkable to hear about the story with Toyoda-san on “where there is arrogance, there is opportunity” - and much more!

I can recall since the early days of my industrial experiences, as a student doing internships, and working in final assembly of car manufacturing. I learnt so much, and manufacturing and fabrication has been a backbone since then. There were times when arrogance of management, did not allow me to harvest the profound knowledge from manufacturing.

These days, the sentiments are to have a stronger inhouse control of the vertical value chain, it is back to the origins of what Mr. Ford once set up, and mimicked by many founders, CEOs and companies to various success.

A big thank you to Sandy, a giant in the product engineering and manufacturing space, and ready to share own knowledge with others…
