A Unique Approach

As a certified Total Quality Institute lean manufacturing consultant, our approach to Lean Manufacturing is different from others. We follow the same principles and holistic approach to all of our services.

Many lean programs (Six Sigma, lean, value mapping, and so on) concentrate almost exclusively on the work processes.

o Suppose the organization has leadership issues contributing to low morale?

o What if the processes are not aligned with the overall company strategy?

The perfect process will still fail if there are strategy or leadership weaknesses!

Conditions for Success

A Total Quality understanding and work environment is necessary for any Lean Manufacturing campaign to succeed. It requires alignment of the strategy, leadership, and processes. Our recommended approach is to evaluate the organization and verify that conditions for success exist. An Executive Seminar is available to provide the leadership team with an overview of Lean and the leadership actions necessary for success.

Eliminating Variation

We have the experience and skills to work with you to identify sources of waste and errors, and then develop effective solutions. If your process is not producing consistent, quality results, this step is necessary.

Cycle Time Reduction

Once the causes of variation have been eliminated, an exciting and unique TQI workshop is available to help you gain rapid results. In today's environment, sustained high quality is a given - delivering products and services faster than your competition is a point of differentiation. This customizable program is an integrated lean manufacturing system geared toward getting cross-functional teams immediately into process improvement. The program is a great platform for process re-engineering and supply chain management as well. The program is designed to run 5 days, with the team implementing process changes at the end of day 5.
