Nov 17, 2009 – Livonia, MI – The global recession and mounting budget cuts have put pressure on organizations like never before to make their operations leaner and more competitive. But how do you know where to start or the next steps to take in order to get the most out of your lean initiatives?
To help companies quickly and affordably evaluate their production facilities, PES is offering its Lean Manufacturing Assessment at a special recession buster price of $500 for small plants and slightly higher for medium and large facilities (this special offer is good through the end of 2009). The Lean Assessment is based on the “Rapid Plant Assessment (RPA)” Tool, a tool used in 100’s of successful organizations throughout North America to reliably measure their current degree of leanness. The assessment helps to investigate and measure 11 key areas of manufacturing corresponding to each of the major lean transformation action areas. The result is a deeper understanding of your organizations strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for improvement.
“Lean manufacturing is a popular operations management system that’s been proven to generate quantum leaps in performance when applied in a comprehensive way as exemplified by the legendary “Toyota Production System (TPS)”. Companies are looking for practical initiatives such as lean that can enhance the long term profitability of their firms through improvements in productivity, inventory terms and overhead costs” says Jeffrey H. Miller, PE, CPIM, SCOR/P, founder and Principal of Productivity Engineering Services. “Whether you’re starting a new lean transformation or contemplating “next steps” on your lean journey, the rapid plant assessment is one of the most cost effective and powerful tools available for evaluating the current state of your plant and identifying improvement opportunities”.
