Lean Enterprise Transformation

Customizing a lean operating system unique to your specific organization and business market needs.

Lean is “all about the people!” For long-term sustainable results, it is critical that lean strategy deployments not only achieve performance targets but also teach and develop those doing the work. Therefore, all partnerships with Waymaker Lean Consulting will have a strong emphasis on equipping leaders and associates on both the “how” and the “why” of continuous improvement.

We offer pre-curated programs based on some common manufacturing needs, or we can provide custom project solutions as requested. Not sure where to start? Taiichi Ohno, the father of Lean, once said “start with need.” Let us know if we can provide an onsite assessment to discuss your needs and create a lean deployment strategy.

Why Lean Strategy?

Lean is a business strategy that builds itself around its extremely high view of customer-defined value. It takes painstaking efforts to define this value, to make this value visible as it transforms and moves through a connected series of manufacturing and business processes, and to empower all associates to continuously improve this flow of value.

When executed correctly using its unique set of tools, a Lean strategy should always result in business growth as customers receive value that is either better, quicker, and/or cheaper than other suppliers in the marketplace.
