"It costs a lot to build bad products"
It is easy to get confused about the concepts and realities that surround ‘Lean’ when people start to talk about:-
Cellular ManufacturingDemand Flow TechnologyJust In TimeAgile ManufacturingFocused FactoriesMass CustomisationLean Manufacturing, and more.The plain truth of the matter is that they are ALL expounding the virtues of one thing and that is the elimination of ‘Waste’.
In ATOL we talk about ‘Lean Organisation’ because when people see a list like the one above they tend to think of it as being the sole responsibility of Production when in fact Lean is a business wide concept.
In any job there are only two components work and waste, to increase the value added component of any job you have to address the Work/Waste Ratio and that means right across the business.
ATOL uses its ‘Geared’ approach in conjunction with a number of established ‘Improvement Tools’ to address the Work/Waste Ratio adding value to product or service.
