I work in a leadership role at a cannabis cultivation site on the side of manufacturing. I hear the phrase "Lean Manufacturing" thrown around a lot, and would love to learn more about the practical applications to my field.
I'm also new to any leadership role and a staunch believer in diversity, equity, and inclusion and workers' rights. So anything with a lean towards maintaining my values while being tough but fair towards my employees would be ideal!!

Oh ugh. My relatives company started that. It apparently means, in practice, when someone leaves, you don’t replace them. Others then take over their work. Relative, is now 2 managers plus a purchasing boss.
No-one gets overtime anymore, yet they must do the hours. Bonus payments which were great are now a supermarket voucher.
Basically the profits before people style
