Robert(Bob) Weiner, Chief Executive Officer of PAS Technologies Inc, visited the Business901 podcast. Bob is renowned as an expert in implementing Lean and Six Sigma on a global scale with incredible speed and remarkable sustained results. PAS was one of the bottom rung players in providing cost-effective repair and overhaul solutions for the aerospace, oilfield and industrial markets. In the first week of taking over, Bob implemented Lean training and started weekly Kaizan events with the key metric of turnaround time. PAS moved to the top of their field by installing a Lean culture and the use of innovative and proprietary high-technology repair processes. His description of this process is nothing short of a testimonial to building a Lean Culture. As Bob said: “If Lean is not at the core of your business, you are missing the boat.”

He discussed several interesting ideas on how to leverage Six Sigma and other tools in developing operational excellence. There was a slight problem with Robert’s microphone, but only from having a clean audio. The sound level and content is great.
