Realising Operational Excellence 

At LeanTechnovations, we bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application with our Lean Implementation service. 

This is where strategies take shape and theories meet the production floor. Our experts work closely with your team, employing tools like Gemba walks, Kanban systems, and real-time problem-solving to integrate Lean practices directly into your daily operations. We focus on crafting customised solutions that fit seamlessly into your existing processes, enhancing efficiency and reducing waste without disrupting your workflow. 

Lean Implementation by LeanTechnovations means not just planning for success but actively achieving it, ensuring every step adds value and drives your business forward.

A3 PROBLEM SOLVING

Systematic Solutions for Complex Challenges

APPROACH

A3 Problem Solving at LeanTechnovations is a disciplined and structured approach that guides teams through the complex problem-solving process using the A3 report—a tool that encapsulates the problem, analysis, and solutions on a single sheet of paper. 

This method promotes clarity and collaboration, ensuring all stakeholders are aligned and engaged in finding sustainable solutions. Our process is deeply rooted in the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle, encouraging meticulous detail and iterative learning to refine solutions and enhance decision-making.

BENEFITS:

Root Cause Identification:

Delves deep into issues to uncover underlying causes, preventing recurring problems and facilitating effective solutions

Enhanced Team Collaboration:

Fosters a collaborative environment where all members contribute to the problem-solving process, enhancing buy-in and solution ownership.

Clear Communication:

Simplifies complex problems with structured visualisation, making it easier for stakeholders to understand issues and engage in meaningful discussions.

Continuous Improvement:

Embeds a culture of continuous learning and improvement, leveraging iterative cycles to refine processes and outcomes.

Decision-Making Excellence:

Improves decision-making by aligning solutions closely with strategic objectives and ensuring all actions are data-driven.

Sustainable Change:

Solutions are not only effective in the short term but are designed to be sustainable, adapting to evolving business needs and environments.

VALUE STREAM MAPPING 

Streamline Your Process, Enhance Your Output

APPROACH

Value Stream Mapping at LeanTechnovations provides a clear, visual representation of the flow of materials and information as your product or service moves through the value stream. This detailed mapping technique identifies waste and pinpoints inefficiencies, allowing us to visualise both current and future states of processes. 


It is a foundational tool in our lean strategy, essential for understanding the real impact of waste on operational efficiency and for planning systematic improvements. Our method involves detailed data collection, process observation, and involves cross-functional teams to ensure a holistic view of the production cycle.


BENEFITS

Data-Driven Decisions:

Facilitates informed decision-making by providing factual bases for changes, supported by real data collected during the mapping process.

Improved Collaboration:

Involves multiple departments in the mapping process, which enhances communication and teamwork across the organisation.

Customised Improvements:

Allows for tailored solutions that are specific to the nuances of your operational challenges and goals

Increased Visibility:

Offers a clear overview of the production process, highlighting how work actually progresses and where delays occur.

Reduced Waste:

Identifies all forms of waste in the process, allowing for targeted removal of non-value-adding steps.

Enhanced Efficiency:

Streamlines processes by clearly showing where improvements can be made, resulting in faster production and reduced cycle times.

Kanban & Pull Systems

OPTIMISE WORKFLOW AND REDUCE WASTE

APPROACH


LeanTechnovations employs Kanban & Pull Systems to streamline your production process and align it more closely with actual market demand. 


This method uses visual cues to manage work processes, reducing overproduction and minimising waste. It focuses on delivering what is needed, when it's needed, and only in the amount needed, optimising the entire supply chain from production to delivery.

BENEFITS

Increased Efficiency:

Reduces the time products spend in the production cycle and decreases waiting times between process steps.

Enhanced Flexibility:

Quickly adapt to changes in customer demand without overcommitting resources.

Lower Costs:

Minimises storage and holding costs by reducing excess inventory and improving space utilisation.

Improved Quality Control:

Facilitates more frequent inspections and immediate feedback, leading to higher quality outputs.

Greater Employee Engagement:

 Involves team members in proactive problem-solving and process improvements, enhancing job satisfaction.

Sustainable Practices:

Supports environmental goals by reducing waste and optimising resource use.

THE GEMBA WALK

See the Reality, Make Real Changes

APPROACH


Gemba, meaning "the real place" in Japanese, is at the heart of LeanTechnovations' approach to continuous improvement. Our Gemba Walks involve leaders going directly to where work happens—be it on the shop floor, at the service desk, or any place where value is created. 

This practice is crucial for observing processes, engaging with employees, and identifying opportunities for improvement firsthand. By focusing on the process and the flow of work, rather than just the outcomes, our leaders gain a deep understanding of the actual work and can make informed decisions that lead to real, sustainable changes.


Improved Operational Efficiency


Direct observation provides clear and immediate understanding of the actual workings, bypassing second-hand reports or assumptions.

Engaged Leadership


By being present on the floor, leaders show commitment and gain trust, encouraging open communication and feedback from the team.

Practical Improvements

 Allows for the implementation of practical solutions that are directly applicable and tailored to the specific context observed.

Rapid Problem Identification:


Quick identification of inefficiencies or issues that may not be visible from afar or through reports.

Enhanced Employee Morale


Shows employees that their input and daily work are valued, boosting morale and fostering a team-oriented culture.

Cultural Transformation

Regular Gemba Walks help cultivate a culture of transparency, continuous improvement, and proactive problem-solving.
