Abstract:  
It’s Friday 2 p.m., and the weekend begins in 30 minutes for the 50 or so Clemco welders, assemblers, part handlers, and other plant employees who are sitting in the front office’s main conference room. But today, like every Friday for the past half-year, the manufacturing team meets to screen their latest 2 Second Lean videos. In a nutshell, 2 Second Lean is a business philosophy that promotes efficiency. 2 Second Lean encourages all employees to share ideas that can shave wasted time from production, even if only by two seconds, and then video their ideas. On a typical Friday, the Clemco manufacturing team watches 6 to 12 of their coworkers’ videos to see the time-saving ideas they’ve implemented.
