"Achieve Operational Excellence"

 

Unleash the Power of Lean In Your Organization and Cut Waste 25%!

 We have been able to reduce waste 25% on average in our client processes to help them:

  •  Cut defects to 3.2%+

  •  Boost first pass yield to 91% +

  •  Improve on time delivery to 95% +

  •  Raise throughput to 95% +

Did you know that top performing manufacturers use Lean methodologies to achieve 120% to 320% more reductions in bid preparation, manufacturing and order to shipment cycle times?

You can use Lean to transform your organization and better respond to competitive threats while:

  •  Slashing operating costs

  •  Achieving business agility

  •  Enhancing customer service

  •  Cutting waste across your value stream

Companies that have implemented Lean and/other continual improvement methodologies have experienced enormous reductions in their order to cash cycle times! 

 Companies achieving “Best in Class” in order to cash cycle time employ the following strategies:

  •  Simplified operations/processes to eliminate non-value-added costs (waste) 

  •   Implemented continuous improvement culture and methods

  •  Identified and eliminated bottlenecks to optimize throughput

Are you driven to achieve operational excellence? We can help you streamline your operations to remove waste and establish/sustain a culture of continuous improvement throughout your organization.

Why Become A Lean Enterprise?

Companies who have achieved a successful Lean implementation significantly out perform their industry average competition. These companies enjoy:

  •  62% lower defect rates
  •  17% higher first pass yields
  •  4% more on time deliveries
  •  6% more throughput

The Lean Migration

Our Capabilities

Value Stream Analysis

We can help you analyze how you deliver value to your end customers. Our value stream analysis process consist of the following steps:

  •  Suppliers/Inputs-Outputs/Customers determination
  •  Define the value the customers receive from the value stream
  •  Establish the business case for improving the value stream
  •  Develop key performance indicators
  •  Walk the value stream to observe and collect data
  •  Create "Current State" map of the value stream-product and information flows
  •  Create the "Future State" map of the value stream
  •  Develop action plans to achieve the "Future State"

We can help you transform your organization into a lean enterprise by providing a structure to ensure that your lean implementation team functions effectively and deliver sustainable results. You will learn to define value from your customers’ perspective, identify your value stream, eliminate the seven deadly wastes, improve the flow of work, implement a pull system, and continually improve your processes.

Lean Enterprise Training

Our Lean Manufacturing and Lean Enterprise Training include an introduction to lean, a lean manufacturing or lean office readiness assessment, and lean simulations to stimulate the learning experience. You will explore and practice alternative solutions to traditional batch logic, be able to recognize and demonstrate the benefits of applying “Lean” techniques, and learn to measure the key financial and productivity performance of implemented changes. Many service companies are adopting lean enterprise principles to dramatically improve administrative, professional and service value streams.

Our New Lean Office Workshop 

Lean Simulation Workshops

Our Lean Business Simulation workshops are highly interactive and hands-on. The workshops have been used by many organizations to introduce the core principles of the lean enterprise and continual improvement. Your organization will develop a vision of the “ideal” production or service system and experience the difference between traditional and lean production systems and their impact on the bottom line. We also offer a Lean Office Simulation to introduce your office staff to Lean concepts and motivate them to make improvements in their office processes by eliminating waste.

Lean Management Systems

Lean implementation can become another program of the day if it isn't sustained. Sustainability can be achieved with our Lean Management System (LMS) process. LMS will help your department managers improve process cycle time and customer satisfaction. LMS is based on the pull system. A flexible and simple method of controlling and balancing the flow of work through a department. Work (projects, orders, products, quotes, etc.) is processed based on a managed FIFO basis. LMS promotes flexibility because it emphasizes cross training of employees so they can perform any task in the department. Our LMS implementation experience includes projects in North America, Europe and Asia.
