Raw material shortages. Parts in incorrect locations. No visual queue to replenish parts. Line down time.
Discrepancies impossible to adjudicate. Unable to do root cause analysis on inventory inaccuracies. No layered process audit.

Improvement Methods

Empowering Management

Our systemic approach to continuous improvement plays an integral role in the lean transformation of your operation. We work to empower management with the skills and tools they need to identify manpower strengths and resolve weaknesses affecting the overall culture and workflow structure.

1. Your Vision

Our process begins with a clear vision —your True North. This vision is rooted in a thorough understanding of business requirements, responsive to market changes, and dedicated to crafting a strategic path forward.

We delve into your Value Stream Mapping (VSM) to assess the current state of operations, pinpoint bottlenecks, and illuminate the path to your ideal future state.

2. Project planning and Implementation

Our project planning and implementation revolve around the PROJECT A3 framework. This disciplined method sets new standards, establishes key metrics, and outlines actionable approaches. We evaluate your operations as they are, setting the stage for impactful change.

3. Process Validation Form

At the core of our methodology is rigorous process validation. Our Process Validation Form (PVF) ensures that new standards are not only met but are consistently aligned with our high benchmarks. Through frequent process checks and daily project team reviews, we maintain a close eye on progress, guaranteeing that every step taken is a step toward improvement.

4. Project planning and Implementation

Sustainability is not an afterthought; it's woven into every layer of our process. Daily management practices, such as regular communication, departmental KPIs review, continuous improvement, and Gemba Walks, ensure that the improvements we implement endure. We don't just set the standard—we make it stick.
