LEAN MANUFACTURING TRAINING, HELP, RESOURCES, AND IMPLEMENTATION SERVICES…
GETTING LEAN SHOULD BE A LEAN PROCESS!


SO WHAT DO WE MEAN BY “GETTING LEAN SHOULD BE A LEAN PROCESS?”

Well, this is a subject we could go on and on about, but that wouldn’t be very
“Lean” of us now would it! Here are a few bullet points that should give you a
good sense of it:

You can also read about our Lean Manufacturing Implementation Process by
clicking here: Lean Manufacturing Training & Implementation.

Conduct an Assessment – This will cost a couple days time and some money but a
true “Lean” assessment is quickly performed and value-adding. Read this
article The Lean Manufacturing Assessment if you want to know more about the
assessment process. This is a critical step that should not be omitted.

Take Action – Your assessment should result in a plan of action that helps you
know where to start your Lean Journey. Start working on your #1
biggest constraint (See “The Goal” if you’re not sure what that is,) using the
tools available to you in the Lean Manufacturing Tool kit.

Continuous Improvement… – At this point it is a matter of continually assessing
where you are, where you are going, and working and adjusting your plan. During
this stage you are further developing your team into Lean Champions and creating
the internal structure that enables your culture of ongoing or “Continuous
Improvement.”

Sure, there is much more that could be said, but we hope this brief overview
gives you a good sense of what to expect going forward. Don’t let anyone sell
you a “step by step package” to getting Lean, unless they have conducted a
thorough assessment of your company, and can tell you the How, What, Where,
When, & Why behind their proposal. Though many of the Lean Tools can be
generally applied, Lean is not a one-size fits all program and must be adjusted
to your specific and unique needs.
