Make a fundamental change in how your organization thinks.
Lean is a practice that improves processes and reduces waste by harnessing the drive of the total organization. Six Sigma is a set of techniques and tools for process improvement that seeks to improve quality and remove the causes of defects in manufacturing and business processes. We can help you take the first steps toward the creation of a sustainable Lean culture, so that your organization has a solid foundation from which to pursue increased productivity and profits.
Lean Manufacturing
Do you seek perfection in eliminating waste and inefficiencies, while standardizing quality? Improve the competitiveness of your business through understanding and implementing Lean business systems.
Based on the Toyota Production System (TPS), Process Improvement teaches clients to apply lean principles to identify and eliminate wasteful activities while maintaining or improving processes. ” Lean thinking” improvement work involves:
- A review of how the current state of a process works
- Identifying wasteful activities in the process
- Establishing projects to eliminate said waste
- Utilizing a Lean Sensei and cross-functional teams to pilot and test potential solutions
- Conducting Kaizen Rapid Improvement Events (RIE’s) to pilot and test improvement strategies at the point of work, resulting in a culture shift toward continuous improvement
