Home▲ 'Streamlining Operations and Value Chains...'
Some people say: ‘Lean means no systems, no software, no business applications, only manual processing’. In the past this may have been right: Any ‘lean’ process, organized and supported by traditional ‘heavy’ business applications, is going to eliminate the advantages of ‘Lean’ and fails.
	Developing solutions for lean manufacturers requires two main conditions: extensive experience and a focused lean vision. Leading edge lean solutions are to be developed today, for the requirements of tomorrow, and this is new: based on latest lean application technology. Developing in advance what technology will support in the future. Nearly two decades of research and working with our clients in North America, Europe and Japan have taught us hands-on lean manufacturing operations and how to approach ‘Lean’ in day to day business. Based on this, and in close cooperation with our clients and lean advisors, we have developed our vision and solution for lean manufacturing and value chain management - Value Stream Technology™.
Today our clients use Visual Factory™ and Electronic Visual Work & Quality Instructions™ at hundreds of assembly and quality workstations as THE center of information flow, as the assembly process guide, as the source for productivity information, to increase and control quality, for tracking purposes, and much more. Times change, technology advances, and the vision has evolved to the most comprehensive integrated solution for lean manufacturers available on the market.
