Lean Manufacture
Did you think Lean Manufacture was a buzz word for "cutting jobs"? If so, you are missing an opportunity to cut your costs, improve cash-flow and grow your business.
Think about the last time you bought some raw material, turned it into a product and sent it to a customer – before you could send your invoice.
From the moment the material arrived in your factory until it left through the gates as a finished product - how much of that time did you spend doing something useful with it ? In a typical company the real answer is about 10 %. The rest of the time it sat in a warehouse or waited in a queue. Meanwhile you were paying interest and rent just to look at it.
Lean Manufacture isn't about cutting staff. It's finding the shortest pathway through your company - getting rid of queues, work-in-progress and the bottlenecks that limit capacity. The results will include shorter delivery times, less waste, better cash-flow and satisfied customers - and of course, increased profits.
