Lean Manufacturing

We have helped 100's of companies use Lean & Flow principles to deliver dramatic improvements in leadtime, work-in-process inventory, productivity, workmanship quality and delivery performance.

Many manufacturing operations look straightforward, but have critical complexities that resist textbook solutions and require sophisticated understanding of the business and the right lean tools to apply.

Lean Service Operations

For many service businesses, the actual lead-time experienced by the customer is 50-100X the amount of time spent actually working on the process. This presents an enormous opportunity to transform your business by collapsing lead-time, eliminating waste and improving productivity through effective application of lean principles.
Service processes carry their own unique set of challenges and in many ways are more complex than other environments. We are experienced in leading businesses through these challenges to unlock shorter lead-times, improved productivity and higher customer satisfaction.
