Processes and Problem-Solving
Although a Lean transformation cannot succeed without a change in management styles and the implication and motivation of employees, the physical gains of Lean Management come from more efficient processes, or 'value streams'. Whether in a manufacturing, administrative or service environment, the basic approach to Lean improvements is the same :
- specify value in the eyes of your customers
- identify the value stream and eliminate waste and variation,
- make the value flow at the pull of the customer
Lean Business France can accompany you in all aspects of the more technical side of a Value Stream Transformation, from the initial Value Stream Mapping analyses through to the use of Lean tools and methods to systematically eliminate waste from your processes. We can also introduce certain Six Sigma techniques to help resolve problems and eliminate variability to further improve the performance of your processes.
Along with our close proximity support to your management and shopfloor or office teams, this provide a powerful combination to drive efficiencies and take time and cost out of your processes, enabling you to better provide the value that your customers are looking for.
