Lean Times call for Lean Operations

Lean Manufacturing and Lean Administration are actually easier to install when operations are slow. In fact, if you have employees laid off, you have already experienced the pain of staff reductions, why not reap the benefits as well?

• When orders slow down, scalable lines (lines you can staff at various levels and still run efficiently) pay off very fast.
• While work is slow, there is time to redesign and rearrange production lines.
• Your core team of supervisors, schedulers, and engineers know where the half jobs and inefficiencies are. And now they have time to help you fix them.
• If there have been layoffs, you will probably have some attrition when you bring the team back. When workforce reductions are needed, this is the most painless way to achieve them.

If lean times have forced you to put your manufacturing or service team through the hardship of layoffs, don't call them back to the same half-jobs and inefficiencies that they used to live with. Bring them back to a revitalized facility that will support razor-edged competitiveness. Make the next layoff happen at your competitor's plant.

We offer some very affordable approaches to Lean Manufacturing and Lean Administration. Please give us a call or an email if you want to talk about them. You will connect with a consultant, not a salesperson. The Stanton Group runs without overhead staff. We call it Lean Consulting.
