Lean Manufacturing
Ensure tomorrow's competitiveness
WHAT WE OFFER
The future of a company depends on the efficiency of the model it chooses to ensure its competitiveness and sustainability. Today's competitiveness does not guarantee tomorrow's.
4.0 companies cannot fall into the trap of applying Lean Manufacturing as you would have decades ago; the very concept of manufacturing has been completely reimagined within the parameters of Smart Industry. The market has changed and so must your way of applying Lean. Anyone trying to apply the same pace and practices as if our environment hadn’t transformed, is likely to fail.
The process must be tailor-fit to your organization. This means designing the transformation process (lean roadmap) taking into account your start point and Industrial / Digital Transformations goals. Lean projects need to be carefully crafted to ensure success, leveraging tools adapted to the industrial requirements of today. They should efficiently blend Continuous Improvement with the Radical Improvement the technological revolution has brought and whose enablers must be present in the Lean project as well as in the human team through Human 4.0.
HOW WE DO IT
Properly and comprehensively implementing Lean Manufacturing in a modern plant involves:
- Understanding (or creating from scratch) your Industrial Strategy.
- Process Mapping - VSM.
- Analysing your starting point and identifying any losses resulting from too broad an approach (e.g. issues such as safety or sustainability and industrial costs).
- Establishing a work plan geared to quick wins and returns (Fast Lean) from 3.0 or 4.0 approaches.
- Synchronization with Transformation projects.
- Integration of Continuous Improvement and Radical Improvement.
- Team building.
- Lean Thinking and Cultural Change Management.
- Dashboard creation and visual management.
- Project Governance and Team Supervision.
- Deployment of Lean with well-defined challenges.
