Your best bet is the "An Introduction to Lean Manufacturing" video from the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME). It is the first in a series of VHS tapes/DVD's which go into varying depths of detail on specific lean topics. A must-have for Lean orientation, as well as continuing training.
Here's a link:

Hello,
I think a fairly good example of a LEAN Video (DVD) is "Toast Kaizen" An introduction to lean principles.
It is available at www.gbmp.org
I use it in many of my training sessions for people new to lean and as a reminder for those in the know. It is about 1/2 hour long and pretty simple in it's approach. I think most people find it easy to relate to.
Good Luck!

Tim,
Lean has a strong tradition of getting people to learn the subject though playing simulation games. The ones that work the best have role playing which helps migrate behaviour from the dysfunctional behaviour necesary to survive in a mass-production culture, to the intelligent working which is the foundation of Lean.
Most of these games are based on assembling small Lego products. The one I'm familiar with was Henry's House of Hydraulics which did sterling service teaching Lean at Ford where I worked before retiring last year. It usually had four rounds and took a whole day each round was separated by some basic Lean teaching relevant to what the team might consider to implement in the next round. Reactions from the audience were that it was both the worst experience and best training they had had.
I am sure there are other games around which are commercially available.
Showing a Lean video may help but it might be second-best unless its a facility in direct competition or very similar to your operation. If you are in the electronics sector and you see a video on a Lean foundry, you will face the usual chorus of "Yes buts" or "I can see it working in that environment but here.............".
I hope this helps.

Productivity Press has a lot of material; books, training, video, etc.
Much of their material is designed to sell more of their material and they publish just about anything they think they can sell. I have found several jewels amoungst their offerings but I would not buy anything that I have not evaluated in advance or that I cannot return after evaluating. the jewels are there, but they are mixed in with a lot of stones.
I hope that helps. productivitypress.com
Take care.

I have the 5S instructor/facilitator package from productivity press.
I use the first video, "Intro to 5S" frequently, and in combination with Standard work training and some other sessions I teach.
I do not find any of the other material useful.
I do not know if they sell that 18-minute video seperately or only as a peice of the package, but I think the video is gold.
I have had this package for several years and I can not guarentee that it is still the same.
Take care.
