LEAN Background
Lean concept originates from Toyota Production System in Japan and was developed by Sakichi Toyoda. The methodology is an ultimate solution for production sites since the invention of assembly line by Henry Ford, because it allows high levels of output using minimum of inventory. Nowadays Lean approach is used in various sectors throughout the globe, and the companies applying it to majority of their processes are recognised for their world class performance.

What does the programme cover?
- Audit lean practices, operation, performance & sustainability
- Audit the environment for change & sustainability within the company
- Identify the margins of opportunity for improvement
- Identify the areas of manufacturing practice that need to be improved in order to realise
the potential benefits
The Lean Diagnostic uses 7 Key
Performance Indicators to quantify current
performance and the opportunity for
improvement including measures of Quality,
Productivity, Order Fulfilment and Cost.
These are often referred to as QCD –
Quality Costs and Delivery Measures.
In order to understand why the business
has scored the current level against these
QCD measures, the Lean Diagnostic looks
at 9 dimensions of Lean Manufacturing
practice, ranging from the culture and
environment to workplace organisation,
standardisation and process control. The
picture gained from the performance
measurement and the detailed audit of
operational practices allows us to identify
the key priorities, current strengths and the
margin of opportunity for improvement.
