Norman Bodek, the Godfather of Lean, was a visionary, great promoter and always willing to help. His recent passing has many in the lean world sharing stories of his contributions and how he impacted their lives. For Chris Barnes, it was simple, as the host of Supply Chain is Boring, he wanted to share his story and he was willing to oblige. They started by discussing the session length. Norman was concerned with having enough to talk about. Chris indicated if they could get about 50 minutes of content, they would be good. A couple hours later they were finished. As an end-product they created 3 separate podcast episodes. That was Norman. Loved what he had accomplished and was able to recall everything as if it happened yesterday. Given that Chris started his career implementing JIT (and Lean) solutions, he felt like a pupil sitting at the side of a great philosopher. He was always teaching and enjoyed sharing the benefits of what could be. He viewed the future as full of possibilities.   Little did Chris know one of the best parts of being a podcast host is getting to know people like Norman Bodek.   Upcoming Events & Resources Mentioned in this Episode: Subscribe to Supply Chain Now and ALL Supply Chain Now Programming Here: https://supplychainnowradio.com/subscribe Leave a review for Supply Chain Now: https://ratethispodcast.com/supplychainnow Connect with Scott on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/scottwindonluton/ Connect with Chris on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisrbarnes/ Supply Chain Now Ranked #3 Supply Chain YouTube Channel: https://tinyurl.com/yazfegov Download the Q3 2020 U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index: freight.usbank.com/?es=a229&a=20 Watch the Replay of The Connected IoT Supply Chain: https://supplychainnow.com/the-connected-iot-supply-chain https://www.leanblog.org/2020/12/mourning-the-loss-of-a-mentor-norman-bodek/ https://leanblog.podbean.com/e/remembering-norman-bodek/ This episode was hosted by Chris Barnes. For additional information, please visit our dedicated show page at: https://supplychainnow.com/scn-classic-bodek
