LTG leads the way in Lean Thinking

Our Approach to Lean Transformation
Lean Transformations Group, LLC leads the way in Lean Thinking to improve performance for any organization. Our mission for your Lean transformation is to effect change that is long-lasting. Organizations that are most successful in achieving a sustainable Lean transformation have two factors in common - -

◊	senior management is committed to the principles of Lean and will devote the necessary resources, and
◊	the work team becomes "self-sufficient" in Lean techniques so that continuous improvement becomes the standard operating procedure for the long term.

Our approach is to encourage the "self-sufficiency" of clients who do not need a full-time consultant on site and have no need for long-term consulting support. Rather, our clients are committed to the principles of Lean and can make changes themselves, but need help in the initial Lean implementation.

Our Services
We train and mentor your team to be self-sufficient in applying Lean tools and Lean techniques.
Our "Lean technology transfer" will support this self-sufficiency so that your team will have the ability to:

◊	deploy Lean as a strategy to meet changing business conditions,
◊	use value stream mapping to redesign your processes,
◊	conduct successful continuous improvement (i.e. Kaizen) activities with internal resources to implement the redesigned processes,
◊	follow up systematically to learn how to sustain and continuously improve those processes, and
◊	create new Lean leaders ready to take on tomorrow's challenges.
