The Red Bead Redux is a new twist on the original Red Bead Experiment that Dr. Deming performed during his legendary 4 day seminars.  Jerry and Jim have found a way to teach some important lean lessons through the Red Bead Experiment in addition to the classic lessons of the System of Profound Knowledge.  Red Bead Redux is a must see experience for lean systems thinkers of all experience levels.

He also worked as an adjunct faculty member at Eastern Michigan University, teaching courses on lean manufacturing and statistical process control.

Jim received the Delphi Corporate Lifetime Lean Achievement Award in 2005.                                                                                                          Jerry Browne: Jerry is currently a Continuous Improvement Specialist at Emergent BioSolutions.  Jerry is an active member of the MLC and is the lean education events coordinator as well as member of the MLC events committee.  Jerry has facilitated and coached numerous kaizen and lean education events at Emergent since 2013.  He has completed the Bronze certification exam.  Jerry has facilitated many lean education events with Jim including the Red Bead Redux featuring the Funnel Experiment at the MLC annual conference, Red Bead Redux for students at U of M and a lean flow simulation for employees of Emergent as well as students at MSU.
