LEAN PRODUCTION
BEHIND EVERY PROBLEM LIES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT
What is it?
Manufacturing and logistic systems must be more and more proactive and flexible in order to satisfy an ever changing demand. Lean production methods and techniques are universally recognized as basic tools to improve efficiency and flexibility. But they are not enough because in a company people more than techniques are the main factor of change and improvement. Our distinctive approach in dealing with lean transformations is that we are not only lean experts, but also agents of change who can lead and motivate project teams.

The benefits
Better service level One of the most evident benefits of a lean transformation is a drastic reduction of delivery times and a drastic improvement of on time delivery ratio.
Inventory decrease More flexibility and shorter lead times cause a decrease in inventory and an increase in inventory turns.
Lead times reduction flow manufacturing brings about a drastic reduction of lead times
Better efficiency A reduction in setup times and an improvement in machine reliability and performance cause a significant increase in efficiency and productivity even though the size of production batches is reduced
Better organizational climate in a company where performances improve, non value added activities are eliminated and people are called to take an active part in the process of change, organizational climate cannot but improve.
“Every day we work on projects aimed at improving manufacturing and logistics. We are not soloists but we work in team with our client’s people and our purpose is to help each person become the true protagonist of change and improvement. Changing manufacturing processes is not enough. Most wastes, and consequently most opportunities for improvement, depends on information. As a consequence we think that no lean transformation can be really effective without changing the logic of production planning and purchasing”.
