I offer more than classroom training.  I form relationships with my clients. While teaching is a considerable portion of my services, the main focus is on doing.  Most of my training is coupled with actual on-site role out of the processes.  I go a step further by serving as a mentor/coach to my client’s management teams and employees answering questions and providing guidance throughout their lean journey.  I also enjoy “getting my  hands dirty” and run Kaizen events and/or improvement projects for my clients. Specifically, I offer the following services:

1. The Customer defines value. Value is what the customer is willing to pay for. Any other activity is waste.

2. Identify all the steps in a Value Stream. A Value stream is composed of the flow of materials and information required to bring a product or service to a customer. Eliminate steps that do not create value.

3. Make value flow. Place value-creating process steps in tight sequence so the product/service will smoothly flow to the customer.

4. As flow is introduced, let customers pull value. Provide what the customer wants only when the customer wants it.

5. Strive for perfection. Continually remove waste until perfect value is created without any waste.
