Lean Enterprise

Overview

• Do you have customer complaints about poor quality or late deliveries?
• Do you miss production targets due to unplanned stoppages or poor operating performance?
• Are the costs of running your business too high?
• Are your lead times just too long to be competitive?
• Do you struggle to sustain improvements, they just don’t seem to stick?

I can honestly recommend BMGI’s Lean workshop. It was quite an experience to go through a 4-day course with only 1 Power Point slide! The course was very interactive and catered professionally for all the different learning styles. Our facilitator was excellent and his Lean experience is evident in the way he makes the principles practical.” Stanley Macmillan, Deployment Leader – Barloworld Logistics

These are just some of the challenges facing businesses across the world today and some of the reasons why organisations have embarked on a Lean Journey. So, if you have answered YES to any of the above questions then Lean is your solution.

Lean is a business model that delivers superior performance by eliminating waste and creating value for stakeholders.

Lean helps companies identify and eliminate unnecessary activities that slow production and create waste. By adopting Lean, companies can create value in processes, through systematically eliminating the forms of waste that exist which are not adding value. Processes become faster and more agile, and customer response is dramatically improved.

There is no recipe for lean success since every company starts with a different set of ingredients. Many people have tried to succeed at lean by copying solutions out of a book. However, your company is unique and will likely have some unique problems and constraints. Therefore, in order to become more competitive you must engrain lean thinking in your organization in every area of the business; from accounting to human resources to manufacturing.
