People Focused; Results Based – Sustainable Business Improvements.

I form relationships with my clients. While teaching is a considerable portion of my services, the main focus is on doing. My training is coupled with actual on-site role out of processes and improvements. 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.

What Do People Think about my Work?

“This economy is tough for everyone. What is experienced by our patients and physician partners is also true for us. We each need be as efficient as possible, excellent in what we do, and always focused on delivering specific and measurable value unto others. To that end, I need all the help I can find making my medical practice the very best it can be! I am really impressed at how Byron at LEAN Frog has been able to help me. Byron takes LEAN principles he perfected improving other processes at Fortune 500 companies, and applied them to my real-world needs in a rural medical office setting. Yes, what he delivers really works! We have daily processes that can be analyzed, simplified, and improved. Byron stands above others we have consulted with in that he understands how to achieve organizational “human” buy-in and participation; thus making the new changes really work, lasting perpetually, not just the first month! Byron’s team at LEAN Frog excels in thoroughly making our processes better. Not just for the sake of achieving LEAN qualities, but for the sake of meeting our real needs and values. He has a knack for making sure every step of his program delivers VALUE that drives forward our medical practice goals. LEAN Frog, we thank you.”– Gabriel Dreiling, Practice Manager, Valley Imaging Center, freestanding radiology office, Athens, AL

“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., Decatur, AL

“Byron is master practitioner of Lean and possesses an astute knowledge of how businesses work. I highly recommend Byron for your Lean endeavors.”– Mike Lothspeich, Plant Manager, Eaton Corporation, Decatur, AL

“Byron takes an effective, systematic approach to continuous improvement. He creates an engaged workforce that focuses on the agreed upon goals. He works well with all levels of the organization. I recommend that anyone wanting to develop a lean culture would contact Byron. He will help you develop a solid foundation for lean improvement.”– Kevin Evenson, Lean Manager, Eaton Corporation
