Lean is Not Just for Factories!

Would you like to lower costs in your business while simultaneously maintaining or (more likely) increasing, productivity and quality? Adopting lean principles and applying the associated tools can help you accomplish just that!  And we can do it at a reasonable and affordable rate.  We're located in San Antonio, and offer affordable lean and Six Sigma training, as well as workshops in the Myers-Briggs Personality type Indicator (MBTI) for your team-building needs.

"Lean" is the popular term for the concepts, principles, and tools that make up the Toyota Production System. There is a reason why Toyota has become the world’s largest auto maker. And no, the reason isn’t what you might think. Much has been made of the inherent cultural benefits that allow Japanese workers to do what American workers cannot. But all you need to do is take a look at the five major assembly plants they have opened in the United States, manned primarily by American workers, to see that it isn’t where you’re from, but how you do things that makes the difference.

But just because it was invented in the manufacturing world does not mean it only works there.  Lean is simply all about reducing and eliminating "waste" from processes...ANY process in any industry.  In fact, once you start to learn the benefits, you'll find yourself applying lean concepts at home!  If a set of steps is used to make something happen, it can be improved with lean. 

We can teach you the concepts, principles and tools of lean. We offer a variety of training options from a 3-hour "Lean Awareness" class to a week-long "Lean Practitioners" course that can serve as the starting point for getting your own people certified,* and preparing them to facilitate your own lean events and projects.

Statistics - Even You Can Learn to Love Them

Though we believe most process improvement can be achieved through lean, we also teach the concepts and tools of Six Sigma.  If you don't know already, Six Sigma is concerned primarily with achieving higher levels of quality primarily through the use of statistical analysis.

Lean tools are just as effective (if not MORE effective) in the world of service and transactional business.

It comes down to this: if work is done using a process, Lean can make it faster, easier, and less costly.
