Feb. 4, 2009 - PRLog -- Lean Manufacturing & Production, Six Sigma

Ever since Henry Ford invented the assembly line, industrial innovators have constantly focused on improvement through a variety of different manufacturing strategies. Lean manufacturing is a manufacturing strategy that seeks to produce a high level of throughput with a minimum of inventory. IPD is on board to implement lean manufacturing and lean production into your company's processes.

IPD is dedicated to helping our clients implement cost-efficient and sustainable process improvements. Over the past decade, the concept of lean manufacturing production has gone through a dramatic evolution from an obscure and isolated practice to a mainstream, extensively publicized methodology that is well known throughout the manufacturing and supply chain industry. According to an ARC Advisory Group's strategy report, "36 % of manufacturers are using lean as their primary improvement methodology."

Applying lean tools, new technology, and new business processes to a traditional silo-oriented culture will not work. Lean, at its core, is a cultural and people-oriented initiative. Key to making the transition to a Lean organization is the fundamental change in the corporate culture that must be made. Five areas that drive Lean Manufacturing & Production are Cost, Quality, Delivery, Safety, and Morale. Some of the benefits a company will receive from Lean Manufacturing & Production are waste reduction, production cost reduction, better manufacturing cycles, labor reduction, inventory reduction, and production capacity will increase.

One of the best systems to help your organization develop knowledge to determine where you are now and create a better understanding of how and where your business needs to go next is called "Six Sigma." Six Sigma is not only for manufacturing, but any process where an opportunity exists for error. Six Sigma projects are based on a problem solving methodology called DMAIC.
