Lean Six Sigma Transformation
Zero Investment Improvements | Process Optimization | Quantum Leap & TechnologyOur 3-Tier approach to Lean Transformation is heavily rooted in Lean Methodologies and culminates with Six Sigma appropriately applied in your organization.
Zero Investment Improvements
Tier I – Zero Investment Improvements identifies opportunities for rapid transformation with no investment.
Objective:
- Understand customers needs and determine “value”.
- Identify highest yielding initiatives and create a road map for implementation
- Define the internal “value stream”
- Optimization of current process to improve productivity (efficiency, utilization, and yield)
Process Optimization
Tier II – Process Optimization identifies opportunities for substantial improvement using existing infrastructure.
Objective:
- Improve throughput by optimizing manufacturing cells for step change in Quality, Cost and Delivery
- Deploy a pull system by integrating upstream and downstream processes to achieve agility
Quantum Leap & Technology
Tier III – Quantum Leap & Technology projects involve large capital investment and are an excellent opportunity to make significant changes and improvements.
Objective:
- Seek perfection and achieve Quantum Leap improvements through Technology
- Excellence – a 10 fold improvement in cost of poor quality
Scalability
Blueprint | Roadmap | Future StateGet ahead of market fluctuation with predictive planning and iniatives.
Blueprint
We create the Blueprint to Scale-Up and Scale-Down your operations to meet immediate demand. Blueprints are tailored for each unique operation, location, and product line or service.
- Supply Chain and Operations Streamlined for continuity and efficiency in all scalable scenarios
- Footprint rationalization to support a scalable operations model
Roadmap
The Roadmap provides a guide for what systems and infrastructure are required and when to initiate each stage.
Some systems and infrastructure will take time to develop and implement. For example, new suppliers may have to be qualified, or existing suppliers will need to adjust their workflow integration with your organization.
Lean Scalability Model
The process of scaling your business must be optimized to get the full value of having a scaling model.
As you transition from stagnation to high demand, you will have triggers and processes tailored for your unique operation. Our goal is that scaling your organization is streamlined so you can focus on your product and services as your operations shift gears.
When demand fluctuates, nominal production processes may no longer yield desirable efficiencies, resulting in the risk of “waste”. Lean Scalable Solutions will ensure that your processes are efficient on both ends of your scalable production range.
Strategic
- Knowing what to make vs buy, when, and by who; can have a significant impact to your cost, quality, and delivery. This decision directly affects your ability to scale your business successfully.
- We can evaluate and improve your integration with suppliers, provide strategic sourcing (outsourcing and in-sourcing).
- We help ensure your critical to quality, delivery, and cost structure allows for scalability. Having a robust Supply Chain not only provides you with a powerful competitive advantage but is key in protecting your Intellectual Property. Scaling your business must account for the impact on key suppliers – we ensure this by working closely to integrate suppliers with your Lean Scalable model.
Optimization
- Optimizing your Supply Chain is vital for a Lean Scalable organization.
- We partner with you to streamline your Supply Chain and re-structure your processes to compliment a more agile and lean operation in high grow and sudden decline in demand.
- This will reduce on-hand inventory needs and provide cost savings on procurement of goods and services.
CAPEX
Equipment | Plant | Budget | EPC | Project ExecutionFrom Design, Feasibility, Approval, Execution, to Commissioning – Lean Scalable Solutions is there for you every step of the way.
Planning
- If you are planning to develop a new CAPEX, or have one in progress, we can help ensure that the budget, concept, plan, and financial performance are as realistic as possible. Working on the front end of projects allows to us merge our Operations, Lean Manufacturing, and EPC expertise for optimal results.
- Our Team has extensive experience in CAPEX development, analysis, planning, execution, commissioning, and operating experience – bringing significant risk reduction in your CAPEX projects.
- We are well positioned to review your desired outcome and evaluate specific processes to determine new equipment and technology specifications for bidding.
- We help you deliver on budget, on time, and with breakthrough manufacturing technology for exceptional quality, capacity, and efficiency.
- If you are a junior corporation and need angel investors to accelerate your growth we may have solutions to offer you.
Execution
- Our Team will partner with your team, and if needed provide turn-key solutions, to carry out the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction phase of your CAPEX project.
- Lean Scalable Solutions is part of The INENCO Group, which specializes in EPC projects covering a wide range of projects from Oil and Gas, Utilities, Pharmaceutical, Food Processing, and Manufacturing.
- For large projects we can act on your behalf as an Owner’s Representative to ensure you are getting the best value possible while minimizing project risk.
Global Footprint
Rationalization | Optimization | Greenfield | ExistingWhether you want to Optimize your existing Footprint or Rationalize your Global Footprint, we have the expertise to ensure exceptional results.
Global Footprint Rationalization
- Whether you are looking to improve your existing capacity or expand to a new plant, we can help ensure that you have the proper size to best meet your scalable organization or production line.
- Our team has extensive international experience and can support your project from conception, design, construction, commissioning and start-up, to full scale production
- We strive to make each process, production line, and service, twinnable. This allows for improvements at one location to be easily deployed and adopted at another location – maximizing your organizational continual improvement
Automation
- While many companies and organizations are exploring, deploying, and operating with various forms of automation, there is a risk that process improvement stagnates while resources oversee these powerful digital technologies.
- Automation can bring significant improvements to your operations. We have implemented many types of automation for different plants and in various operations and processes. We have the experience to help guide you in your automation projects to ensure the right technology, process, and systems are deployed – while allowing you to remain flexible for future improvement or changes.
- Let us automate your processes and production lines today so you can embrace improvement in the future.
Digital Enablement
Industry 4.0 | Digital Factory | Data Analytics | InsightThere is a solution for you – let us guide you there!
Digital Enablement
- Every process improvement needs to be natural to the organization. In today’s production and service industries, there is a strong push to integrate to industry 4.0. We ensure your process is optimized, so your digital enablement projects are more successful.
- The level of digital enablement can range from simple data entry automation and paperless systems to full Artificial Intelligence and machine learning to leapfrog most IT systems.
- Digital technology, Industry 4.0, and digital onboarding are increasing by the day. As a result, there are many options available, and the path can be complex. We can help by providing integrated solutions for your specific unique organization needs.
- While digital technologies change rapidly, production hardware and infrastructure do not. Your operations must have a solid lean foundation with agility built into the process to allow your organization to benefit from and embrace digital technologies and the digital factory – as opposed to being restricted by them.
- Many of these solutions we provide are in partnership with your organization and key suppliers best suited to meet your needs and changes.
- We can evaluate your process before heavily investing in any level of digital enablement projects to minimize wasteful spend and production challenges.
