In this episode, Jason delves into the complexities of lean principles and how to decide which principle to follow in the face of conflicting priorities. He explores a key dilemma with Ryan, his CFO, regarding over-processing and respect for people in the context of lean, and uses Eliyahu Goldratt's Theory of Constraints to offer guidance on how to resolve such conflicts.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• How to navigate conflicting lean principles on the job.
• The importance of the Theory of Constraints in lean decision-making.
• Why some lean principles can conflict and how to resolve that.
• The practical approach to identifying the most limiting factor in a situation.
• How striving for perfection can sometimes conflict with eliminating waste.

When faced with a tough decision, are you identifying the most limiting factor and applying the lean principle that will provide the greatest impact?
