Angad talks about what he's seen on plant floors where lean work lives on spreadsheets, paper and whiteboards with tags pinned by hand. He covers why paper means there's no data, and no data means no action items to track, why homegrown fixes break down after a few years, and where he tells people to start instead. He ends with the question he asks to see if any of it is worth it: how much admin work is going into managing all this today.
