Welcome to graduate school, manufacturing style! Ed and Alvaro level up from last episode's basics to tackle the advanced skills that separate individual contributors from true business leaders.They dive into what it really takes to grow beyond being "too functional" – from mastering cross-functional collaboration to understanding how your decisions impact the entire enterprise, not just your corner of the operation.
The duo shares hard-won wisdom about the three-to-five-year journey of implementing TPM or Lean Six Sigma ("there is no instant pudding"), why losing trust on the shop floor takes three times longer to rebuild, and how one plant went from rock bottom to top 3 globally in just two years. Whether you're ready to break down silos between departments or looking to leverage AI without abandoning the fundamentals, this episode delivers the advanced playbook for manufacturing excellence.
