Mark Reich, LEI Chief Engineer of Strategy, and Karen Gaudet, LEI Senior Coach, talk with Michael Duncan, President of Viwinco, about his efforts to establish a robust daily management system in the family-owned window and door company and connect it to the company’s hoshin kanri process.

Michael grew up in the company and, after rising into leadership, spearheaded the company’s transformation, implementing lean principles and tools while developing people. This enabled the company to more efficiently manage its challenging business model of customized products, varying demand, short lead times, and no finished-goods inventory.
