Aug. 31, 2011 - PRLog -- Greer, SC (PRWEB) August 31, 2011 – Lean Practices, LLC, a consultancy specializing in “mobilizing the ingenuity of all your people to expose problems and address the causes at the roots,” was launched today. LP shows leaders in manufacturing, logistics, and risk management how to use front-line associates to solve live problems for results that can pay back in a matter of weeks, and sustain for a career. The company’s coverage area includes northern Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, and the Carolinas. Scott Culberson, principal of the firm, is a chemical engineering graduate of Clemson University, with lean certification from the University of Michigan.

Scott Culberson brings over 25 years of international experience from a progression of development, total quality, P&L management, and lean implementation roles. He gained this experience in a variety of environments ranging from discrete assembly to continuous processing, business and transactional processes, at Hoechst, Michelin, Trelleborg, PPG, Ingersoll-Rand and Tier-1 & -2 suppliers to Honda, Toyota and “the Big Three.”

Lean Practices comes into the client’s process and uses live problems to show leaders how to not just find a “solution” but to find an associate and teach them to find that solution. Problems solved in this way tend to stay solved. Training becomes an engine for profitability, quality and order service improvement. In a typical engagement the team can reduce the amount of labor, space, inventory and lead time by more than half, with little or no capital investment. Mistakes that escape to the customer are routinely reduced by over 90%. Lean Practices shows the way to use freed-up people for further rounds of payback.
