Lean Management

Customers demand perfect quality, responsive on time delivery.

Manufacturers need to cut inventories, and grow the business using spare capacity

Process focus and improvement is the key to survival

Many organisations have made attempts to understand their processes, but this has been difficult to sustain without an underlying logic, clear principles and a business management system.

Lean Principles are as follows:
Understand the value from the customer’s perspective. Identify the value stream by product (or product family). Make the product flow. Pull the required product through to suit customer demand. Then manage to perfection.

From the analysis above the production lead-time was 28 days whilst the value added time was only 19 hours. There is the opportunity!
