We begin at Gemba with a breakthrough experience of both the physical workplace as well as cultural mindset. Expect the physical transformation to improve product quality, productivity, and delivery, while reducing inventories and product Lead-times.
The cultural breakthrough begins as employees experience Kaizen. The Kaizen methodologies allow employees to participate on cross-functional improvement teams usually 5-days in length coached by Leanbreakthru Consultants. These cross-functional teams bring together many different skill sets within your organization (from operator to office worker to CEO to supplier) to ask the hard questions, "Why, Why, Why, Why, Why?"
Our approach is to teach teams to see the seven wastes (muda). We do this by coaching the team throughout the entire breakthrough experience. We are a very aggressive organization that inspires teams to generate sustainable results very quickly. The tempo is fast, the week becomes a blur, the results are real, you can see them. So how do you know if a team is inspired? Look into their eyes, do they seem to be shinning? How many of your team members are pulling your sleeve to participate on another breakthrough event?
We follow-up by creating a detailed, quantified, strategic vision for your Lean Enterprise Transformation, including initiating sustainment guarantees. We believe sustainment & improvement requires conversion of both the heart & mind. We start simultaneously converting the heart & mind by educating the workforce and by displaying Sr. staff commitment.
