Co-host Richard Fielder, a controls engineer at Peterbilt, takes the guest seat to show how small performance shops can borrow factory systems. He and Kevin cover 5S and per-car bolt bins, cutting product variation, building a bill of materials with labor and margin, shadow boards for tools, and standard work checklists for repeatable jobs like engine builds, all with examples from their own shop.
