## Resource

Andrew shares a recent experiment in his shop: installing a full Sonos sound system and changing the structure of morning meetings and 3S time to give employees more room to pursue real improvements. Meanwhile, Jay discusses several new internal tools he has built, including an AI-powered quoting system and digital production boards designed to replace traditional analog shop boards. The conversation also includes the difference between Two Second Lean and traditional TPS-style lean, how AI is changing the speed of experimentation inside businesses, the hidden problems with too many meetings in manufacturing organizations, and what shop tours can teach you (and why you should never show up as a tourist.
