Implementing lean manufacturing or Lean six sigma or TQM or BPR or ......or ..... should be a relatively straight forward process for any business, the processes involved aren't difficult or complex and most of them are based upon common sense.
If you speak to any consultant or black belt they will tell you exactly the steps needed to implement the changes, in the order required.
Follow these steps and you have a changed organisation ............ Don't you ?
One vital flaw in the equation - an unknown variable -
PEOPLE -
Or to be more precise, the 8th Waste - The under Utilisation of People
People touch every aspect of your business, from the CEO right down to the people who actually do the work.
We have factored in this variable from many years of hard won experience and knowledge.
Using lean manufacturing or six sigma (We use these as examples as they are the most common improvement tools) as a sticking plaster to try and cover a gaping wound is another common mistake made by management teams.
Business basics must be in place
before lean principles or any other change programs can be successfully introduced - Discipline, timekeeping, absence, organisation structure etc. etc.
An organisation is a shadow of it's leader.
If the leader is not himself willing to change the way he works, the whole change program could be doomed before it even gets off the ground.
Change must be lead, by example, from the top.
Once the foundation has been laid and the organisation has in place some stability, lean manufacturing can be introduced.
Our mission here at "Beyond Lean" is a simple one. We aim to provide YOU with the tools and knowledge to engender change in YOUR business........In short we'll help you to help yourself.
We have been through the steepest of learning curves and taken lessons learned from mistakes we've made over many years in consultancy and management to develop a system that will work for almost ANY business.
Here is an overview of the stages you will go through in order to truly achieve "Change"
The acid test for ANY system is;
“Does it work ?”
This system is no different.
Results are today’s business currency.
Without results no system is worth the paper it’s written on.
This system is not based on theory or strategic waffle, it’s based on hard won experience and developed by people who have used the tools contained within it to get measurable results. Time after time.
Follow the process, step by step, in the order it is laid out and you will get results.
GUARANTEED
This system can be used for areas from an individual department or small business right up to major corporations. The larger the business, the longer it will take to truly embed lean manufacturing principles, but when they're implemented, they will stick.
Theories and complex models may look impressive in boardroom presentations, but only action gets results.
The buttons in the left margin at the top of this page will navigate you through a more detailed description of the "Roadmap" as well as taking you on an in depth tour of each of the phases.
You will also find
"Lean definitions" for some of the more commonly used terms.
The "Culture" section gives you an insight into just how vital this often neglected subject is in the implementation of ANY type of change program.
"About Us" Section will give you an insight into our background and experience which ultimately makes up our depth of expertise.
