Lean Manufacturing and Lean Six Sigma Consulting
Lean Manufacturing can help your company deliver quality products on time, meet customer expectations at a competitive cost, while respecting your employees, the environment, and the community.
Our consultants train your operations and production teams to identify and reduce waste everywhere in your organization, from order entry, purchasing, or engineering to the factory floor. We apply a customized approach tailored to your company’s level of competency as well as its specific constraints, including production schedules and employee needs.
If you’re new to the lean methods or still in the early stages, we’ll work with you to build a firm foundation, typically by starting with 5S and standardized work. We introduce more advanced tools such as value stream mapping, kaizen, cellular manufacturing, kanban pull systems , and setup reduction as you need them.

If you’re practicing lean manufacturing already and would like to take your results to the next level, Lean Six Sigma will generate the results you seek. Lean Six Sigma focuses on the reduction of waiting time and errors through the use of Six Sigma analytical tools, with a greater emphasis on data and statistical analysis to assist in the decision-making process and solution validation.
Either approach aims to eliminate waste quickly, improve your bottom line, and increase your growth opportunities. Companies engaging in lean practices typically attain:
- 40 to 80% throughput improvements
- 60 to 80% work-in-process reductions
- 50 to 90% manufacturing lead time reductions
- 5 to 30% floor space requirement reductions
- 50 to 100% first-pass yield increases
- 75 to 125% productivity increases
Learn more about how we can help you implement lean or lean sigma in your plant using a variety of lean tools, each designed to eliminate specific types of waste and improve flow.
We also offer leadership and certification programs. For more information, see Lean Certification, Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification, or Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification.
