If You Have Already Started The Lean Journey…

 

Companies who have previously contracted with other consulting firms as they began their initial lean journey (such as KMAC, Indiana MEP or others), will find that MBS can be a VERY cost-effective way to sustain your company’s Lean Journey. 

If you’ve found that the progress of Lean has diminished after the initial training, we can help you keep your journey on-track.  Don’t let your initial investment in Lean training go to waste.

MBS can provide follow-up training or facilitation for your team, or initial Lean training for new team members, on an as-needed basis.

Our simple fee structure makes it very cost-effective to have on-going support readily available – something that most other consulting groups cannot provide.

We’d be glad to discuss it more with you.  We’re just a phone CALL away.

A Partial Descriptive List of MBS Services…

McGan Business Systems can provide analysis to identify specific potential improvement opportunities – and the Lean Development training and activities to benefit from those improvements.  Call or email for specific information on:

 

Ö               Lean Opportunity Assessment

We can review your company’s current operations or processes to identify potential areas where Lean Management methods can lead to real improvements.  This documented assessment result then serves as a baseline against which to confirm future progress as you move forward in your lean journey.

Ö               Lean Methodology Introduction / Overview

This training will provide your Management team with an overview of the essentials of Lean methodology and is an excellent “first step” for those companies wanting to begin or begin a new phase of their Lean journey.  It includes hands-on simulation exercises to reinforce the concepts and learning.

Ö               Waste Identification Workshop

This workshop is targeted for a team activity.  First, the team will be taught to “see” the 8 Wastes” and then actively develop action plans to minimize or eliminate these wastes.  In just a few hours, real results can be seen, and your team will have new tools to become a valuable resource within your company.

Ö               Continuous Improvement Workshop

This workshop is designed to continue the work of the Waste Identification Workshop above.  Once the team has been taught to “see” the 8 Wastes,” additional tools are introduced, as appropriate, including Standardized Work, Workload Balance, Kanban.

Ö               Cell Kaizen Workshop

This workshop combines components of the Lean Introduction, Waste Identification, and Continuous Improvement workshops above.

Ö               5S / Visual Control Workshop

Often, this workshop is one of the first activities when beginning the Lean Journey.  The discipline of 5S, coupled with the visualization of the workplace expectations through Visual Control methods, will help ensure that gains made are sustained through time.
