LEAN' is the term used to describe the production system developed by the Toyota company in the post World War II years. The concept of ‘lean' comes from the ability to achieve more with less resource by the continuous elimination of waste. The ‘lean' concept is not restricted to manufacturing and applies to the whole enterprise, including the supply chain, the new product development process and the provision of service. infinium® offer a Lean Assessment visit in which we closely examine and evaluate your production processes. Later evaluations include Operations, Purchasing, Shipping, and all other support functions.

infinium® present management with specific examples of how our programme will impact your facility's "bottom line".

infinium® develop specific recommendations and collaborate with Top Management to create a course of action that will provide immediate and long-term gains. In other words, we will help you identify a plan that provides "The Big Effect".

A Lean Assessment is a value adding experience for your company.

Most of the time you'll pay for a Lean Assessment but you should still expect some tangible return on your investment beyond a report.  We look for waste. When and where we find waste, in its many forms, and how to eliminate it should be an expected deliverable

Waste need not necessarily be the tangible by product of manufacturing production lines but also includes time, resources and manpower. The ‘Lean' manufacturing processes highlight areas where waste is evident and can be reduced or even eliminated.  We identify lost and wasted time within the manufacturing process and calculate the process balance which in turn allows an increase in productivity. Companies then have the ability to understand how activities performed down and upstream can impact on overall delivery performance.

Further services infinium® offer include 6 Sigma (6σ), Business Continuity Programs, Quality Training (SPC) and Risk Assessments and readiness reviews for ISO accreditations.
