Our approach typically entails a four-step process:

Meet with you to understand areas of concern.

Perform an assessment of your operations to determine factors contributing to strengths and weaknesses of processes. Depending on the scope of the project, this typically takes two days.

Develop a plan targeting your particular needs, which can include:

• Training – Training and introducing people in your company to fundamental lean concepts is often an important part of ensuring that people are ready to make changes.
• Value Stream Mapping – This involves gathering people together to prepare visual, graphical analyses of how processes work.
• Kaizen Events – These team projects often last one week with the goal of getting as much done as possible in a rapid, but effective manner. Areas of focus can include:
• • Improving processes in office functions such as sales, marketing, inside sales, shipping, tax, accounting, and customer care.
  • Production and warehousing issues such as cycle time reduction, quality improvement, materials distribution, 5S improvement, ergonomics improvement, workload balancing, preventative maintenance, equipment improvement, inventory reduction, moving line enhancement, and layout improvements.

Follow-up with you to ensure effective results.

Throughout the emphasis is on doing things simply, inexpensively and gaining team members' buy-in.
