What is Lean and How Can Duggan Help?
Lean is a systematic approach to eliminating waste, optimizing processes, and creating predictable, repeatable operations that don’t rely on constant oversight. Instead of small, incremental fixes, Lean builds structured, high-performance systems that sustain efficiency and drive business growth.
Lean isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about building self-sustaining operations that run smoothly without constant management oversight.
Duggan’s one-of-a-kind value stream design approach goes beyond waste reduction, creating structured, high-performance systems that eliminate complexity and improve flow.
With Lean applied as a comprehensive strategy, businesses achieve scalability, efficiency, and long-term success—without the need for daily intervention.

Transformations That Speak for Themselves
“It’s really focused on customers; it’s focused on markets; it’s focused on strategy. Operations get time, it’s not ignored. It’s not like we don’t want to talk about it. It’s that we don’t have to talk about it.”
Jim Miller, Vice President of Operations and Plasma Businesses at Hypertherm
“Tim spent three days with us to teach us Operational Excellence in the office methods, and help us apply them to one of our core value streams … But by the third day, the team was fully sold on the ideas and extremely motivated to make the changes happen immediately. This is a credit to the OpEx methods and particularly to the way Tim taught with a no-nonsense approach, answered difficult questions, and guided the team to the future state value stream design and action plan.”
Remi Guillemette, Business Processes & Continuous Improvement Manager at CAE Australia Pty Ltd
