Built by Russell

Hi I'm Russell, I've worked in lean for over 25 years. Upskilling thousands of people to drive forward 100+ businesses in the UK, Europe, the US, China, India, Japan and South America.

Russell Watkins lean expert

I was trained by Toshiyuki Muraoka, a Toyota Production System Master who worked under Taiichi Ohno in Japan.

Our line balance course is Real-world tested: Built from the same line balancing method we use with clients, including HelloFresh.

WHO THE LINE BALANCE COURSE IS FOR

This course is for you if…

  • You’re chasing output every day and still missing the plan

  • Work is uneven (some operators overloaded, others waiting)

  • WIP builds up between stations and you can’t see the real constraint

  • You want a simple, repeatable way to balance work against Takt

  • You need something your team can actually use — not theory
