Principles of Lean
This introductory program includes hands-on, interactive simulations available through a variety of workshops applicable to various manufacturing and industrial settings such as high volume manufacturing, job shops and process industries. These simulations showcase the benefits of Lean principles in comparison to traditional manufacturing processes.

Value Stream Mapping
This visually maps a process flow, including both materials and information, from supplier to customer. Value Stream Mapping can serve as a starting point to help management recognize waste and identify its causes. The result of this process is a 'future state' blueprint, which often serves as the strategic foundation of other Lean improvements.

Visual Workplace organization (5S)
5S is a method used to improve workplace safety, reduce waste, simplify work processes, improve equipment maintenance and trouble-shoot to ensure process quality.

Standardized Work
Applying the concept of Standardized Work, which is the difference between random process methods and a standardized approach, is one of the best ways to improve an operation or processing step.

Kanban Systems
Kanban incorporates visual signals to improve process efficiency through reduction of cycle times and inventory. Kanban tools improve customer delivery performance.

Cellular Flow
Through the arrangement of people and equipment into efficient, process-based cells, cellular processing creates a smooth flow that shortens the lead time for delivery while supporting low inventory production, space saving and continuous improvement.

Set-Up Reduction
This system emphasizes decreasing changeover time resulting in improved machine or worker based uptime and product quality, while reducing work-in-process inventory, lead times and cycle times, and allowing for smaller batch sizes.

Total Productive Maintenance
Total Productive Maintenance is a production-driven improvement methodology that optimizes equipment reliability and ensures efficient management of plant assets through the use of employee involvement and empowerment, linking manufacturing, maintenance and engineering.

Lean Supply chain Management
Our supplier Lean Integration Management process is a modular approach to rapidly develop and deliver solutions that extend the value stream improvements to improve overall performance, reduce costs and improve profitability.

Kaizen Facilitation Training
This type of training fosters a cadre of skilled, Kaizen event facilitators or leaders to aid in developing effective policies and practices. Participants help their fellow workers become more knowledgeable in identifying waste and to practice those skills necessary to implement and sustain improvements.
