What Do Lean Manufacturing Consultants Do?
They help spot and fix waste that happens when demand changes. Sometimes customer needs shift, or the company adds new production lines, which means extra work.
Other times, waste comes from doing more than needed, requiring time to move from old tasks to new ones. Some processes don’t add value at all, even though some activities do. A Lean Manufacturing consultant helps manage these processes to meet changes in demand, reduce unavoidable waste, and cut out unnecessary waste.
Lean Implementation – Areas of Focus
- Understanding Waste in all its forms – reducing non-value-adding activity.
- Process Mapping – ensure a clear understanding of how a process works and help identify improvement areas.
- Business Performance Measures – data collection & analysis.
- Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
- Approach to Improvements – Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA), Kaizen, DMAIC.
- 5S System of Workplace Organisation
- Root Cause Analysis – cause and effect.
- Kanban Pull System
- Standard Operating Procedures
- Runners, Repeaters & Strangers
- Factory floor layout optimisation – new or existing facilities
- Implementation of the above into production & processes.
