Lean Manufacturing Practice

Lean manufacturing is a methodology that focuses on minimizing waste within manufacturing systems while simultaneously maximizing productivity.

Waste is seen as anything that customers do not believe adds value and are not willing to pay for.

Some of the benefits of lean manufacturing can include reduced lead times, reduced operating costs and improved product quality.

We can help you to achieve these goals in 3 steps.

1. Identify value from the customer's perspective.

2. Map the value stream.

3. Create flow. Eliminate functional barriers and identify ways to improve lead time.

4. Establish a pull system.

5. Pursue perfection with continual process improvement, or Kaizen.
