Manufacturers committed to becoming lean enterprises usually follow a lean "roadmap" based on phases. Individual strategies for implementation will vary according to your specific circumstances and needs, however a typical approach to long-term implementation in partnership with MAMTC would look something like this:

1. OPPORTUNITY IDENTIFICATION

We start by learning the right information about your business, your overall objectives, and most importantly your customers. We'll then work with you to create a common vision and understand of how Lean fits in with your business strategy. Together, wešll determine where opportunities for Lean implementation exist.


2. SOLUTION DESIGN

Once we´ve identified the opportunities that lie ahead, we´ll create solutions to achieve your goals. First, we´ll train your staff to "think Lean" so that the entire organization is clear on the concepts and benefits of Lean and is committed to implementing Lean principles to transform your business. Together, we´ll develop current and future state maps to target your opportunities and design an implementation plan to realize those opportunities.


3. IMPLEMENTATION

We will guide your implementation through the entire pathway to success, helping you meet your goals and improve your performance. We can deploy a model line to showcase the success of Lean principles. From there, we move to a phased rollout ­ a multi-step process that involves mentoring, facilitation, knowledge transfer, and joint implementation with your company´s team.


4. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

Your implementation was a success, you´ve met your objectives, and you´ve improved your performance. But these initial benefits that you will have realized through Lean are just the beginning. A sustained commitment to Lean emphasizes building upon your success and capitalizing on the momentum. We´ll ensure that you continue to enhance your competitive edge, measure performance, and maintain alignment with your strategic plan.
