Duggan Lean Strategy

We specialize in teaching and implementing lean in both manufacturing and business processes management (bpm).

Our strategy is unique. We teach companies the destination of their lean journey, so they know where they are going. Then we provide the roadmap to get there. We do not spend weeks doing assessments. We specialize in transferring knowledge through lean training and guided application, with the goal of creating a self-sufficient lean organization.

Our consultants work with a cross-functional team. This team receives extensive training in lean manufacturing or bpm, and applies this training to their operation by selecting pilot products and processes. Through our training, they will design their future state using proven methodology, one step at a time. The team implements an end-to-end value stream by applying a systematic, strategic process. The consultant provides a structured plan for Action Workout Weeks or Kaizen events, ensuring that the team will always know what to work on next to drive bottom line results. The same strategy is applied both on the shop floor and to bpm.

The companies we work with learn-by-doing, as we teach every step. After implementing with our consultants, your team will understand every aspect of their new factory operations and be able to adapt it to market changes and new products.

We provide companies with the latest knowledge on lean manufacturing and bpm. We share with them different applications and what the best companies in lean are doing, then we teach them how to do it better. Our consultants do not teach you what Toyota has done, they teach how to apply lean manufacturing in your environment.

Each of our clients has seen the benefits of lean manufacturing and applying lean to bpm. The results are not only financial, they are also cultural, creating an organization that knows what lean manufacturing and lean bpm really are and how to use them to achieve Operational Excellence, all of which results in increased business growth.
