Prior to General Electric, as VP Manufacturing for Multilin, he championed a significant Lean transformation, and it was there he started to dabble in what he thought was the essence of 3P, in the absence of a lot of public information on the topic. Even the partial application of a full 3P process led to strong gains where it was applied. This continued throughout his GE career, culminating in the learning of, and application of, a total 3P process based on the Toyota Way, under the guidance of the Shingijutsu Corporation. The phenomenal results achieved through these lessons and applications, saw 3P spread at a wildfire pace through General Electric. Dan also learned much of his Operational Excellence knowledge base with 20 years in a variety of volunteer leadership roles within the Association for manufacturing Excellence, and all of the networking opportunities that provided with a myriad of great Lean practitioners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrew Locher \u003c\/strong\u003eis currently the Managing Director for Change Management Associates.
