Lean
Manufacturing Consulting
Services

The
president of one of our repetitive customer companies once told the
consultant: "You, consultants
are a necessary evil" of course he was just kidding, but he made me think... we really are a
necessary good! By outsourcing with us, you are doing your business a lot
of good!
For
many years we have been providing advice, experience and ingenuity to
the most varied types of industries and although we offer a money back
guarantee for our services, No One until today has ever asked for a refund.
This means they all have at least more than doubled their investment in the first
year of implementation. Not only that, I know first hand of cases where
the savings and extra revenue from increased sales has been up to 800
times the investment, yes, 80,000% per year. Suppose the net profit is
only 10%, that is a return on investment of 8,000%, year after year! We
feel good about that!
No
wonder companies keep doing Kaizens over and over again. In some cases
they repeat in the same particular area and keep improving it.
In
their best seller "Lean Thinking", lean
manufacturing experts J.P. Womack and D. T. Jones show a case study from
FNGP, a Plymouth, Michigan based
company. The president of that company, Joe Day, decided to introduce lean
manufacturing practices in the North American alliance between the world's largest
seal and gasket makers.
The
focus of one of the first Kaizen workshops or events was the manufacture of vibration
dampers in their Ligonier, Indiana facility. They achieved 56% increase in
labor productivity and 13% reduction in space needed! Over the next three
years, they did several more Kaizens in exactly the same area. As a result,
they gradually boosted productivity in 991%! Yes, nine hundred ninety one
percent! while reducing the space
needed in 48%!

Why do Kaizen now when your
business has been running successfully for a long time?
The globalization of the
economy has become the best allied of progress. This has another edge: It
has created a fierce competition.
Today we have to compete against companies all around the Globe. The first sign
was perceived by the automobile industry at the end of the seventies. They
learned that in order to survive they had to adopt the Toyota
Production System. And they sure did! For that reason its name had to be
changed to Lean Manufacturing System. Along with the TPS or LMS the Kaizen
process has been the right tool as well as the right culture. It has
changed the way we all do business.
Why
Should You Hire Our
Consulting Services?
We are your # 1 money saving strategy!
What can we offer
and guarantee?
We offer Professional
Consulting Services based in a proven body of experience.
Our service is not the only
one available, nor is it the cheapest, but it certainly has some unique features:
-
You do business with
a Certified Consultant or a knowledgeable Account Manager from the beginning, not a sales person.
-
We sit down with you
and your key people to listen to your concerns and help define the best project to get started.
-
We can manage the event
in two languages at the same time. For example: English and/or Spanish if you happen to have Hispanic workforce in
your site.
-
Our practical
approach makes our workshops very effective. We adhere to the right
parameters and principles of lean manufacturing and the Kaizen
process. Although, we bring the instruction to a level that will be
easily understood by all the participants, whatever their previous academic
achievements. We keep the complex theories and formulas in the books, where they
belong.
-
We create the
motivation and appropriate environment. We can, with the help of some
natural leaders that you already have in your site, (perhaps
overlooked), build a training
force that will spread the discipline to the rest of the plant.
-
We measure our success
with Your Gains and Accomplishments.
-
You do not have to pay
any markup for our services, since you are contracting directly with the
consulting firm.
-
We follow up. Yes
indeed, we are aware that when a project is finished it is only the
beginning of an ongoing improvement process. We take pride and
ownership on it. Our repetitive clients think this is one of the features that
make them use our services over and over again.
-
We keep supporting the
team for as long as needed. They can call or email the consultant and
always get their doubts solved. All this at No Extra Cost!
-
We can also, at
your convenience, establish a
monthly, bimonthly or quarterly presence at a very affordable
fee.
-
We help people
within your work force who participate in the Kaizen Workshops become
leaders. These people will be able to replicate the process in other
areas of the plant.
For all of the above we are
confident that we are, definitely, your best choice! We will be
happy to hear from you. Your workforce will feel more secure and
motivated. You will be happy you did business with us. It is a Win-Win
situation. Feel free to send
us a message now No Strings Attached!
