Lean Manufacturing Management
Lean manufacturing principles and its tools play an enabling role to optimize the flow of products through manufacturing operations.
This approach often involves developing new skills and techniques. In particular, it requires that operations personnel learn to see the value stream and the sequence of value creation steps required to manufacturer products and identify waste within processes.
Our consultants will work with your teams to link operational objectives with specific action plans necessary to achieve "breakthrough performance" improvements in key areas within your operations. Manufacturing managers will challenge all assumptions about the status quo regarding efficiency, quality and delivery performance.
Our approach to manufacturing excellence is based on working closely with our clients to deliver measurable and sustained business performance improvements. We are guided by "The Five Principles of Lean Thinking":
- Identify the Value Stream from the "Customer" perspective
- Make value flow
- Pull from the up-stream supplier
- Optimize the whole value stream
- Continuously strive for perfection
Our consultants use proven tools to move manufacturing operations from one level of performance to the next-level. We utilize lean tools to drive sustainable improvements. A key component of enabling process improvement and establishing lean competence is the Kaizen process which should be thought of as a rapid improvement event. Lean Value Solutions will mentor teams and teach the required skills, concepts, methodologies and tools to guide successful process improvements.
