Written by Remembrance Ranch is a 12-month transformation experience for teenagers and their families in high risk situations founded by Patrick Adams. Patrick is a lean and six sigma expert and founder of Lean Solutions.
In his interview with Ron Pereira of Gemba Academy, Patrick talks about the inspiration for creating the nonprofit due to his own his personal journey of transformation, stemming from a difficult childhood involving abuse, neglect, and substance abuse, leading to him running away and engaging in gang activity.
He also shares how lean methods like 5s and visual management have been used to make things easier for staff, campers and volunteers at Remembrance Ranch.
