Episode page with video, transcript, and more Bill is both an accomplished business executive and leader who is frequently called upon for his credible voice, honesty, and pragmatism — and for his ability to leverage operational excellence and continuous improvement for long-term profitable growth. As former president of Thayer Aerospace, Bill doubled revenue in six years, expanded into Mexico, improved profitability, and increased inventory turns. He integrated the supply chain into a web-based pull system, consolidated divisions, and implemented an ERP system. Earlier in his career, Bill held progressively responsible roles in operations, including Vice President of Continuous Improvement at Invensys, Vice President of Operations at Learjet/Bombardier, Production Manager at Lockheed Arizona Missile Facility, and Materials Manager at Allied-Signal Aerospace.

Bill shares insights from his extensive career, including how he first encountered Lean principles at Allied Signal and the dramatic improvements achieved through lead time reduction and flow. We explore the critical role of communication and employee involvement in overcoming resistance to change, the deep connection between safety and quality, and the importance of leadership in both driving transformation and sustaining long-term improvement. Bill outlines TBM’s four-phase framework for turning around operations, emphasizing the need for a holistic evaluation of people, processes, and performance metrics. Finally, we reflect on how organizations can leverage Lean as a strategic advantage to drive growth and profitability while fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

Can you describe the initial transformation you led at Allied Signal, focusing on lead time reduction and flow? How did you address resistance to change when implementing the model line at Allied Signal? How did you ensure communication and involvement during that transformation? Can you elaborate on the connection between safety and quality and how improving one supports the other? How do you help leaders recognize that safety performance can improve significantly, even if zero injuries seems aspirational? Have you seen Lean improve relationships between management and employees, especially where trust was broken? What have you learned over time about the cultural and technical aspects of standard work? How do you balance moving toward one-piece flow without overwhelming a system that isn’t ready for it yet? How do you distinguish between a one-off performance issue and a sign of deeper trouble? How do you address it? What qualities or mindsets do leaders need to lead both Lean transformations and long-term sustainment? What’s the difference between leaders who are effective in transitions versus those who excel in sustaining improvement? How does TBM Consulting evaluate the state of a plant during a turnaround? What does the assessment process involve? Can you outline the four phases of turning around operations and share an example of how this approach was applied? How do you prioritize improvement work when constrained by resources, like capex or time? What warning signs indicate a plant is in trouble, and how do you help organizati

The Dangers of Overtraining: Jure Koscak’s Path to Self-Awareness and Healing

My guest for Episode #285 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Jure Koscak, a former professional table tennis player who competed for 15 years at the highest levels. EPISODE PAGE WITH VIDEO, TRANSCRIPT, AND MORE Alongside his athletic career, Jure pursued a deep interest in sports psychology, which eventually led him to earn a Ph.D. in physical education. For the past 15 years, he has specialized as a high-performance mental coach, working with over 50 professional athletes across various sports, as well as more than 1,000 private clients. Jure is a polyglot, fluent in six languages, including Slovenian, English, Spanish, German, Serbo-Croatian, and French. His diverse background and experience allow him to connect with a wide range of clients, helping them not just to survive but to thrive in both their sports careers and personal lives. In this insightful conversation, Jure shares his favorite mistake—his hip injury, which he attributes to a combination of arrogance and overtraining. Despite his professional success, Jure reflects on how he neglected the early warning signs from his body, overworked himself, and disregarded the balance necessary to sustain long-term performance. This mistake, which eventually led to a debilitating hip injury, forced him to confront the importance of listening to his body and respecting its limits. Jure also discusses his transformation from athlete to coach, explaining how he now uses his experiences to help others avoid the same pitfalls. The episode explores the mind-body connection, overtraining, chronic pain, and how unresolved emotional issues can manifest physically. Jure introduces the AEQ Method, a somatic approach that helps individuals reconnect with their bodies, reduce chronic pain, and elevate emotional maturity. His goal is to empower athletes and individuals to become more self-aware, both mentally and physically, so they can perform at their best without sacrificing long-term health. Questions and Topics: What would you say is your favorite mistake? How would you say injuring your hip was a mistake? Did your hip injury occur during your peak in table tennis? Did that injury end your career? Was there a moment when you realized you weren’t listening to your body, or had you been aware of the mistake earlier? Can you explain the AEQ Method and how it helps people? How did you transition into coaching non-athletes? How do people find you—are they seeking balance, dealing with pain, or something else? Why do people self-sabotage, and is it tied to trauma or fear? Why do people continue with behaviors they know are harmful? How did helping 1 million people with chronic pain become your mission? How much of positivity is personality versus something we can develop and learn?

Wright, PE, MBA, is an accomplished operations executive and teaching professional with over 39 years of experience in the manufacturing and service sectors. His extensive career spans various industries, including aerospace, consumer goods, healthcare, medical devices, diagnostics, and industrial sectors, where he has held leadership roles in engineering, operations, quality assurance, and operational excellence (OpEx). He is an expert on taking businesses from MRP "insanity" to Pull Systems (Kanban) and driving operational excellence through the implementation of Toyota Production Systems (TPS/Lean) tools and methods. He's a Master Black Belt and only the 7th person in the world to receive the Lean Gold Certification (LGC) from the joint alliance of ASQ, AME, SME, and the Shingo Institute.

Jerry reflects on his career, starting with his early Lean experiences at Kimberly Clark, where he encountered the challenges of forecasting, production scheduling, and the recurring "insanity trap" of MRP. He discusses the implementation of Kanban systems, the impact on inventory management, and how turning off MRP systems helped teams dramatically reduce shortages and excess inventory. Through real-life examples, Jerry illustrates how companies can shift from traditional MRP-driven processes to more effective demand-driven and Kanban-based systems, leading to operational improvements, better employee engagement, and more reliable supply chains. The episode also touches on the psychology of change management, navigating the resistance from those invested in outdated systems, and how leadership can foster a more adaptive, efficient environment by embracing simplicity over complexity.

How did Dell handle material constraints and lead time reduction when you were there? How does Toyota manage its supply chain and production planning without relying heavily on MRP? Can you talk about how Toyota's system recovers quickly from supply chain disruptions? What was the origin of your book The Insanity Trap? How can leaders and companies overcome the psychological barriers to changing their supply chain systems? How do you help employees transition from roles like expediting to managing Kanban systems? What are your thoughts on the promise of AI in demand forecasting and supply chain management? Who is the target audience for your book? What are your thoughts on supply chain planning versus execution in lean environments?
