The challenges organizations face today are many; Long lead times, low service levels, network and facility constraints, low quality, and high inventory levels to name a few. Add in global supply chains and numerous acquisitions, to complicate these challenges even further. The need to gain competitive advantage is a MUST. Companies are no longer just focused on working harder, realizing that working smarter is the key to success.
The results derived from a Lean Implementation include increased quality, consistency, and customer responsiveness, which lead to an increase in customer satisfaction. Improved satisfaction, combined with improved pricing leverage from reduced cost structures, allows for an overall increase in sales. Our Clients can meet the increase in sales, without adding infrastructure because of the ever-increasing capacity generated by the Lean implementation. The results are increased sales in an environment of reduced costs providing bottom-line results of significantly increased profits.
