Following are the implementation, sustainability, and other support programs that we offer:
IMPL_LM: Implementation Support in Lean Manufacturing System.
A systematic strategy to eliminate waste from a manufacturing process is known as lean manufacturing, or simply lean. The Toyota Production System (TPS) inspired the development of lean principles, which have subsequently increased and been successfully applied in numerous other industries worldwide.
A few advantages of the lean manufacturing system include:
- Reduction of the wastage of material, time, and effort, resulting in effective cost optimization
- Free up plant space for better utilization.
- Better safety at the plant.
- Better quality of products means better work efficiency.
- Timely delivery of items.
- Better identification and retrievability.
- Better utilization of resources.
The implementation program includes consulting, training, and handholding support for the implementation of a lean manufacturing system at your organization.
SUS_LM: Sustainability Support for Lean Manufacturing System.
A lean manufacturing system, once implemented, will yield the desired benefits and results if the same can be sustained by a sustainable program. Also, for organizations where a lean system is already in place, this sustainable program will help keep the system sustained.Â
IMPL_6S: Implementation Support for 6S and Visual Management.
6S and visual management are complementary methodologies that enhance organizational efficiency and effectiveness. 6S, an extension of 5S (sort, set in order, shine, standardize, and sustain), adds safety as the sixth element, emphasizing workplace safety as a priority. This methodology involves organizing the workspace to minimize waste, improve workflow, and create a safer environment. Visual management, on the other hand, uses visual cues like signs, labels, and indicators to communicate information instantly and clearly. Together, 6S and Visual Management help service organizations streamline operations, reduce errors, and boost productivity by maintaining clean, organized workspaces and providing visual cues that guide employees in performing tasks efficiently. By fostering a visually organized and safe workplace, these methodologies promote employee engagement, process transparency, and continuous improvement, ultimately leading to better product and service delivery and customer satisfaction.
Through this implementation support program, you will not only get a better understanding but also practical guidance on how to optimize your workspace by separating useful items from useless ones, organizing the useful ones, discarding the useless ones, and transforming your workspace into a visual factory.Â
SUS_6S: Sustainability Support for 6S and Visual Management.
This sustainability support program will be useful for your organization to sustain the effectiveness of 6S and visual management if these two tools are already implemented at your organization.
IMPL_KZ: Implementation Support for Kaizen and Poka Yoke.
Two key tools in lean management, kaizen and poka-yoke, promote error prevention and continual improvement in manufacturing and service organizations. Kaizen, which translates to “continuous improvement” in Japanese, is a tool that gradually improves systems, procedures, and human behavior to increase effectiveness, satisfaction, and quality. Encouragement of suggestions and regular implementation of changes by staff members at all levels promotes an innovative and flexible culture. Poka-yoke, also called mistake-proofing, is the practice of building systems and processes to eliminate errors or promptly detect them before they become more serious. Like manufacturing firms, service firms can also lower error rates, boost operational performance, and increase service reliability by putting Poka-yoke principles—such as employing checklists, sensors, or visual cues—into practice.
The implementation support program will not only help you understand how the culture of regularly working on small and continuous improvements in teams helps with big improvements in productivity, quality, and profitability, and how mistake-proofing measures are extremely important for your organization to prevent undesirable errors, resulting in better quality assurance and better safety, but also help you get practical step-by-step guidance during the actual implementation.
SUS_KZ: Sustainability Support - Kaizen and Poka Yoke.
Kaizen and Poka Yoke are not one-time activities. Those need to be regularly exercised to ensure continual improvement and better mistake-proofing. This sustainability program will help in the sustenance of kaizen and poka yoke in your organization.
IMPL_JI: Implementation Support - JIT and Kanban Board.
Just-in-Time (JIT) and Kanban are integral methodologies within lean manufacturing, designed to enhance efficiency and minimize waste. JIT focuses on producing and delivering products in precise quantities and at the exact time they are needed, thus reducing inventory costs and ensuring optimal resource utilization. The Kanban board, a visual tool often associated with JIT, facilitates this process by providing a clear, real-time display of the workflow. It typically consists of columns representing different stages of production or tasks, with cards or sticky notes moving through these stages. Each card represents a unit of work, and its movement across the board helps teams visualize progress, identify bottlenecks, and maintain a continuous flow of tasks. Together, JIT and Kanban foster a responsive and flexible production environment, enabling quick adaptation to changes in demand while maintaining high levels of efficiency and productivity.
This implementation program will help you not only to understand how, using the JIT principle, your organization can avoid the waste and space crunch at the workplace caused by overproduction and also how to set the correct priority of work using a kanban board, facilitating timely delivery of high-quality products and increasing productivity and profitability, but will also provide practical guidance during implementation.
SUS_JI: Sustainability Support - JIT and Kanban Board.
JIT and Kanban need to be continumosly practised to get the best benefits out of those. Our sustainability program will help re that JIT and Kanban remain in place at your organization everyday.
IMPL_VS: Preparation Support - Value Stream Mapping (Current and Future).
Value stream mapping, or VSM, is an efficient lean management method that aids companies in visualizing, evaluating, and improving the flow of data and resources required to deliver a good or service to a customer. Every phase of the production process is explained in detail, providing a comprehensive grasp of the procedure from the acquisition of raw materials to the final delivery. By outlining the current and future stages of operation, Value Stream Mapping (VSM) makes it easier to identify inefficiencies, waste, and bottlenecks in the system. With the aid of this graphic tool, organizations may streamline procedures, reduce cycle times, and boost overall productivity. Furthermore, VSM promotes enhanced departmental collaboration and communication by cultivating a common understanding of the procedures involved in adding value and potential areas for improvement.

SUS_VS: Sustainability Support - Value Stream Mapping.
To keep the non-value-added activities at the minimum levels at your organization through regular analysis, VSM is a very powerful tool that needs to be exercised and updated at least once every quarter in a year. This sustainability program will ensure that the current and future state VSMs are made at least once every three months, analyzed, and improvement plans made.Â
IMPL_SM: Implementation Support - SMED.
A lean manufacturing methodology called Single-Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) aims to increase efficiency and flexibility by decreasing the amount of time needed to transfer from one production process to another.
SMED, created by Shigeo Shingo, aims to reduce long setup times to shorter, more tolerable periods—ideally, less than 10 minutes. This is accomplished by dividing setup tasks into two categories: internal tasks that require the system to be halted and external tasks that can be completed while it is operating. SMED reduces downtime and makes it possible for more frequent and effective production changeovers by consolidating and standardizing these operations and frequently utilizing innovative solutions like quick-release mechanisms and standardized tools.
The implementation program will help not only discover the simple golden ways to reduce the wastage of time during production changeovers but also provide practical guidance on implementing SMED, thereby making changeovers remarkably quicker.
SUS_SM: Sustainability Support - SMED.
To keep the job changeover times at the minimum levels, the SMED techniques need to be practiced continuously. This sustainability program helps attain this at your organization.
IMPL_CL: Implementation Support - Cellular Layout.
Cellular layout, also known as cellular manufacturing, is a production strategy designed to enhance efficiency and flexibility by organizing workstations into small, self-contained units called cells. Each cell is dedicated to producing a specific set of similar products or components and is equipped with all the necessary tools, equipment, and personnel to complete the entire production process for those items. This layout minimizes the movement of materials and workers, reduces setup times, and promotes better quality control by fostering a focused and cohesive workflow. By grouping similar processes and placing them nearby, the cellular layout facilitates quicker identification and resolution of issues, smoother communication among team members, and more efficient use of resources. Ultimately, this approach leads to faster production cycles, lower costs, and the ability to more rapidly adapt to changes in customer demand, enhancing overall operational agility and competitiveness.
