Expert Resource Can Prevent Costly Mistakes
Because of the fundamental structural change that Lean Manufacturing
represents to a company (a different way of doing business), its
leadership must get it right the first time. If not done right the
first time, failed attempts to bring about fundamental change can
seriously damage any company. This is why it is critical to select an
experienced consulting company that provides Lean Manufacturing
training, hands-on preparation, and implementation consulting. Do not
accept training for training’s sake alone. On-site consulting along
with your top management’s commitment are the two keys to success.
Starting the Lean Manufacturing Journey
To start a journey toward Lean Manufacturing, you begin with the
commitment to continuous improvement. Without the discipline to remain
on track with continuous reviews of the different functions of the
company, Lean Manufacturing will not be attained. This is not a quick
fix or overnight solution to processing problems. It is a combination
of new production techniques, facility layout and corporate culture.
Dramatic results in efficiencies and inventory reductions can be
realized within 1 to 6 months but the total changeover to lean can take
from 3 to 5 years on average. It is not uncommon to see 50% - 70% reduction in costs.
