Lean Manufacturing Overview

Lean manufacturing concepts, methods, and tools are based on the world's most efficient manufacturing technology—the Toyota Production System. This system has now been adapted and adopted by all types of organizations. Manufacturing, financial, healthcare, insurance, government, and military institutions have all embraced lean concepts. We have taken the basics and made them even more practical and accessible to people in any industry at any level. We can help your organization improve, and make value flow faster, even in the harshest competitive environment.

STAT-A-MATRIX offers an innovative application of the Lean Enterprise concepts and methodologies through our Lean Pathway model. This model helps you utilize the appropriate Lean manufacturting approach based on the problem being solved; it serves as a guide for determining when to use a particular Lean approach and, it addresses the support systems issues that must be managed to make Lean a sustainable part of the business culture, not just a temporary tool set.

We can help your organization:

• Initiate a Lean Enterprise initiative
• Strengthen an existing Lean initiative
• Integrate Lean Enterprise with other initiatives (Six Sigma, ISO, CVA, Supply Chain, etc.)
• Apply Lean in your organization through the implementation of special Lean projects called Lean Events or kaizen blitzes.
