Lean Manufacturing Consulting Services
Is it Time to Put Your Enterprise on a Lean Diet?
Much like diets, lean production systems are designed to melt away excess fat and make your organization faster, flexible, forceful and more competitive. The Toyota-developed system for delighting the customer and enhancing the long-term profitability of the firm has earned a reputation for revolutionizing a wide variety of industries. And it’s accomplished with the participation of all employees focused on maximizing value to the customer through the relentless elimination of waste; whether the waste is excess production resources, overproduction or extra inventory, lean is all about doing more with less.
In today’s economy, you can’t afford to fund improvement programs that fail to deliver results. And successful lean manufacturers are weighing in with impressive results:
- 50-90 percent reductions in inventory and lead time
- 50-100 percent improvements in labor productivity
- 30-50 percent declines in defect and scrap.
- 30-50 percent less manufacturing space
- 20-50 percent decrease in job related injuries
- 50-75 percent reductions in time to market
