Why Choose TXM’s US Lean Consultants?

We understand growing businesses and are passionate about manufacturing. This enables us to see things your way. We all admire the achievements of that Japanese car company. But our consultants know that our customers are not Japanese and they don’t make cars. And as for all those Japanese words and special “Lean” jargon, well we believe there is a place for that, and that place is called Japan.

Lean Solutions in The United States of America

 

North American businesses need to be highly efficient because they face higher business costs than their global counterparts in countries like China, Indonesia, and India.

For many businesses, the answer is Lean, a set of principles and practices that help them reduce waste and maximize manufacturing productivity to make them more competitive within the global marketplace.

How a lean consultant works

To make the transition to Lean manufacturing, a manufacturer needs to hire the services of a Lean consultant. The consultant starts by getting a clear picture of how you run your business and your long-term goals.

They use this information to make recommendations and develop programs to improve your processes, boost efficiency, and cut costs. Once they have a clear picture of how the business runs and its long-term goals, the lean consultant makes recommendations and develops programs to improve overall processes and cut costs.

Understanding visual Management

Visual Management is a critical tool in the world of Lean, providing a link between data and people. This tool uses visual cues on a board to instantly provide concise and accurate information to workers at all times.

An effective visual management board relies on instinctive visual cues that communicate essential information that includes performance, standards, expectations, and warnings to a workplace’s employees “at a glance.” The board ensures that the data is instantly identifiable and does not require interpretation.

Common Lean manufacturing terms

The Lean world could look a bit like alphabet soup to an outsider. In any lean meeting, you can expect to hear acronyms and terms that appear randomly. As you start to embrace Lean manufacturing, you will find that the words represent how you can improve your processes. They include:

  • Cycle Time: How long it takes to complete a single task.
  • Takt time – the average rate of customer demand – how often on average a customer buys your product.
  • JIT (Just-in-Time): Receiving material exactly when needed, so a plant never has too many or too few parts.
  • Kaizen: Japanese for “continuous improvement.” Kaizen eliminates waste from processes in an incremental manner.
  • Kanban: An essential inventory control tool in a JIT system.

There are many more and may look like a lot to digest, but your Lean consultant will help you make sense of it all. Visit our Glossary to find explanations of more Lean terms.
