Together with the “Lean Manufacturing” techniques, this methodology gives you the opportunity to involve all areas of your company in a global optimization plan.

Objectives

  • Draw a value stream map, analyse and set up a value stream of the administrative processes.
  • Identify all waste in order to eliminate it.
  • Simplify the information flow in order to improve customer satisfaction.

  • Develop the capacity of the administrative areas to provide reliable information, as soon as possible and to the cheapest cost.
  • Understand and adopt the 5S organization methodology in the administrative areas.
  • Implement the 7 steps of fixing problems
  • Build up a systematic and continuous improvement of processes.
