The best way to grow your business is by designing it to growSM

Welcome to Duggan Associates, your source for lean training, lean methodology, operational transformation, and guided implementation of lean to achieve Operational Excellence.

The Roadmap to Achieving Operational Excellence

We understand that your operation is complex. Value stream mapping with simple case studies does not apply to your business. There is more to lean manufacturing than value stream mapping, kaizen events, and one-piece-flow. We educate and implement advanced lean principles, and change the very way employees think about lean manufacturing in order to achieve Operational Excellence.

According to Institute for Operational Excellence, the definition of Operational Excellence is: 

“When each and every employee can see the flow of value to the customer, and fix that flow before it breaks down.” SM 

Most companies encounter challenges in the first step of creating flow because of their custom products, unique processes, and specialized business needs. Not only can we help you create flow in complex environments, but we can also guide you to build upon lean principles to achieve Operational Excellence.

Duggan Associates has over ten years of experience assisting companies in over 450 locations worldwide in multiple languages. We have assisted Fortune 50 corporations as well as small businesses with single-site operations. Through our advanced lean education and hands-on lean training, Duggan Associates can help you implement a self-sustaining lean organization that continues to thrive on Operational Excellence long after we leave.

At Duggan Associates, it's not about customer satisfaction; it's about customer success.
