Duggan Capabilities
Operations development with Duggan means we train, coach, implement, and manage projects with you.
The Duggan approach will teach value stream design techniques required to create a lean flow capable of operating with a single point of scheduling, and little management intervention, even in the face of complex product mix or constantly changing customer needs.
This will result in a more autonomous and productive value stream and will free management to work on growing the business.
Our Mixed Model techniques enable us to achieve this goal even if you have 50,000 different part numbers. In fact, this is where the proven Duggan point of difference really starts to shine.
The Duggan approach is designed to create flow for you regardless of complexity.
The goal we set is to design an end-to-end flow of value to the customer for each value stream, resulting in significant WIP inventory and lead time reductions.
We also teach you to create guaranteed turnaround times for your value stream flow, making it possible to promise delivery dates to customers and always hit them.
