Lean Materials Management

Companies pursuing a lean transformation often begin with cellularization, achieving dramatic and rapid improvements. But unless they replace the traditional material-handling systems supplying the cells, they jeopardize their ability to sustain the gains or advance to the next level of performance

Taking the waste out of the supply chain can lead to amazing cost savings and efficiency improvements. Simply put, we help you streamline the flow of your materials.

We adapt the key principles of lean material-handling to more complex environments, such as incorporating work-in-process (WIP) markets into the system for purchased parts, adding delivery routes from production cells to a finished-goods market, and applying the system to low-volume, high-mix processes.
