Lean solutions:

The Lean Enterprise Process

-Identify Opportunities

Assess your processes and determine where your pain points and opportunities exist.  Use Argent to assist you in diagnosing where and how Lean can streamline your processes and reduce costs.

-Design Solutions

Create a blueprint for Lean which includes training, Value Stream Mapping, and integration within the strategic vision of the organization.  Employees at all levels of the organization must be familiarized with the concepts of Lean.  A select group representing a cross section of staff and management must be skilled in Value Stream Mapping.  All management team members must be trained and become Lean champions.  Designing realistic solutions depends on this strategy.

-Implementation

Start out with pilot projects or Kaizen Events that have a high probability for success.  This ensures that employees see the value and understand that Lean can make a difference.  Then use a phased rollout approach across the organization, based upon the strategic vision of the organization.

-Continuous Improvement
