Episode Synopsis
Got a problem? YouTube probably has a solution. From changing your air filters to replacing a passenger side mirror on a 2018 Toyota Tundra (Eric, we’re looking at you), today’s video platforms are chock-full of step-by-step DIY instructions for solving everyday problems. In this week’s episode, Eric shares how he potentially saved hundreds of dollars performing a simple repair on his truck by following a step-by-step tutorial he found on YouTube — and how this principle applies to manufacturing. Eric and Phil discuss the money and time-saving power of detailed, accessible digital how-to content and why it’s so important for manufacturers to leverage it in their facilities. From enhancing training programs to accelerating mechanical troubleshooting, simple visual tools like YouTube videos can go a long way in a busy plant. Why? Because this is how today’s workers access information and communicate in their daily lives.Learn how L2L’s connected workforce platform helps modern frontline workers leverage digital tools to streamline maintenance, repairs, machine setup, and other technical processes: https://www.l2l.com/why-l2l l2l.comYouTube: @leading2lean l2l.comYoutube: @leading2lean
