Bryan Wehmeyer
Lean Program Manager
Agilent Technologies

Bryan will provide stories detailing successes (and pitfalls) at the early stages of Agilent’s lean journey, pointing to the usage of lean tools as well as the challenges of establishing the organizational culture required to support it. Bryan will touch on implementation projects that highlight cellular flow manufacturing, poka-yoke (mistake proofing), 5S, kanban and visual management.

Bryan’s background in lean began over 16 years ago as a consultant in the nation of Singapore. Since that time, Bryan continued to develop skills in lean implementation through private consulting in small to medium sized businesses followed by a leap to Hewlett-Packard in 1998. Following the spin-off of Agilent Technologies, Bryan has worked as an internal lean facilitator across multiple business functions. Currently, he is helping to facilitate the launch of an order fulfillment lean effort. Bryan holds a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Cincinnati as well as a Quality and Process Improvement MBA from Miami University.
