In this episode, we hear from Dave Staehle, Manufacturing Change Manager at RBW, a LED lighting production company, on his journey from fine arts student to production manager. 

Dave talks about how he helped scale the lighting production company from “wild chaos” with out-of-sync systems and manual time studies and lead it on an Industry 4.0 journey. He shares the lessons he learned, why the frontline worker and streamlining their experience matters, and how design and wisdom from his fine arts background served him well in the end.
