Joining us in this episode of Room for Improvement is Alex Boddy, Head of Operations and Maintenance (South) at Ancala Water Services, who provide water and waste services to a thousand Ministry of Defence sites across England and Wales.
Alex talks about how witnessing the gold standard of Lean application at Toyota inspired his ‘structure and order’ approach to consistently generate high-quality output.
