Lean Manufacturing Assessment

Lean Six Sigma Manufacturing Consulting

Manufacturing and supply chain performance dictates a company’s success. The ability to be responsive, have high quality and low cost significantly impacts a company’s financial performance and their customers. In today’s global enterprises, lean six sigma manufacturing and supply chain tools and techniques have changed dramatically, yet many companies aren’t aware of “what is possible”.

Lean Manufacturing Assessment Overview

In this assessment, Group50, a Lean Manufacturing Consulting Company will look closely at a company’s supply chain (raw material to delivered product) and identify how it performs against global best practices with a focus on speed, quality, cost, productivity and sustainability.
