PROCESS MANAGEMENT/LEAN

W Edwards Deming (The man who transformed the Japanese car industry after the Second World War) once said "If you can't describe what you are doing as a process, you don't know what you're doing"

Understanding Processes, particularly Key Processes and how they work is the first step to delivering improvements in efficiency and productivity to your business.

LEAN builds on this by maximizing customer value while minimizing waste. Simply, LEAN means creating more value for customers with fewer resources. The term LEAN was coined to describe Toyota's business during the late 1980s by a research team headed by Jim Womack, Ph.D., at MIT's International Motor Vehicle Program and although LEAN MANUFACTURING is a term often used, LEAN can be applied to any organisation in any sector!

We are able to provide complete Process Management and LEAN support ranging from initial training and advice to conducting reviews on your behalf.
