Cleanliness is the best indicator of a project's health and stability. If it's not clean, it's not going well. The set point must be set to perfection. If the superintendent's set point is set to dirty, it will always return to that state.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Cleanliness as pulse check: can't assess safety, quality, morale, materials, flow, or schedule on dirty project
• Set point concept: works like thermostat, must be set to perfection not good enough
• Clean and steady rallying cry: Tucson lab story, no cleanup crews, led by example in English and Spanish
• Deliver results without excuse: don't tolerate bad morale, lack of safety, uncleanliness, chaos, poor communication, unbalanced lives
• Muda, Muri, Mura: waste, overburden, unevenness cause project failure beyond just management or finances

If we expect and strive for anything but perfection we will get mediocrity, and only when people know that we expect perfection will they get out of the normal, mediocre, and disgusting state of our industry.
