First introduced several decades ago, Lean Manufacturing has gradually become a standard across industries. Its principles are widely recognized and require no further validation. Yet, many plants continues to lag behind in this domain retaining significant untapped competitive potential.
Our approach is founded on three simple principles: set ambitious targets that reflect management’s vision, engage all employees to align the organization’s collective goals behind these goals, and adopt a pragmatic 80/20 approach when deploying Lean principles.
Our methodology is structured around 3 phases:
Phase 1
Analysis and conception
– Carry out a quantified diagnosis of the situation, and get the teams to do so.
– Get the teams to define targets, showing the methods they can use to reach them.
Phase 2
Deployment
– Organize joint operational/consultant teams to carry out actions.
– Pilot the entire process, highlighting the company’s contributors.
Phase 3
Sustainability
– Valuing the success factors of the approach.
– To perpetuate the system using only the company’s resources, by standardizing the Hoshin Kanri approach.
