What is LEAN?
 
LEAN is a best practice that reduces the amount of time needed to make and deliver a good product or service by improving productivity and maximizing resources utilization. With Lean, we aim to increase by up to 80% your quality, productivity and throughput, while reducing significantly (by 90% in some cases) lead time, space utilization and work-in-process. This directly increases your bottom line while opening your market opportunities.
 
How we do it
 
To reach such goals, the Lean concept identifies first what your customers’ value. Then it differentiates activities which contribute to this value from those that do not. LEAN targets a systemic and continuous reduction of non-value added activities, also known as “waste”.
 
To remove those waste steps, LEAN offers a wide range of tools and methods that CEL consultants master and successfully implement. LEAN is not merely an efficient tool but also requires an in-depth evolution of the mindset to accomplish continuous change. CEL helps your company to achieve a “change” behavior within your people.
 
 

Methodology
 
Our consultants measure, analyze, improve and control following a ten steps expert methodology to ultimately obtain a maximized process. Measuring focuses on acquiring a sound understanding of your business by considering such factors as Reliability, Responsiveness, Agility, Costs and Assets. Analysis enables us to clearly explain the effect of variations and demand in the market on your cost, cash flow, responsiveness and lead-time, leading to easy diagnosis of the problems root cause.
 
To improve, we reduce variation by concentrating on sales forecast and inventory management, increase capacity by focusing on bottlenecks, decrease time waste by shifting from batch production to flow production, and improve supplies.
