What Do People Think about my Work?

“We’d been trying to deploy Lean manufacturing techniques for years with only limited success. After completing a strategic value stream map of the company with Byron’s help, my team was able to pinpoint exact cost-saving opportunities. While these opportunities were being pursued, Byron was able to roll out a Lean management system composed of leadership standardized work, visual controls, and a daily accountability process. This Lean management system has allowed us to sustain improvements and taken Lean to the next level, truly transforming the company’s culture. While Byron continues to assist with Lean deployment in manufacturing, together we have begun to deploy similar Lean techniques to the company’s administrative functions in Human Resources, Purchasing, and Finance.”
– Lynn Ozier, President, Willo Products Inc.

I recommend that anyone wanting to develop a lean culture would contact Byron. He will help you develop a solid foundation for lean improvement.”
