Transforming business teams ... and results.
Many consulting firms call themselves Lean or Six Sigma. They do a kaizen event or an assessment and then hand off a plan. At Lean Consulting Associates (LCA), we delve deeper. We work hand-in-hand to transfer knowledge, advance thinking, and propel your team’s capabilities to a whole new level.
Time and again, we improve businesses’ top and bottom lines. But, that’s just the beginning. Our larger goal is to transform your entire operation. We start with your most precious asset — your people — and develop them into a passionate, self-perpetuating force of LEAN.
A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER
WHY OUR CLIENTS TRUST US
"LEAN Consulting Associates is one of the few with personal knowledge of "Lean" coming from the company that revolutionized its industry -- Toyota. If you are looking for someone who truly knows how it's done end-to-end, then LEAN Consulting Associates can deliver that knowledge."
Keith LaPointe,Purchasing Manager,
Gillette-Procter & Gamble
"I have learned more in two years of working with LEAN Consulting Associates than in the previous five working in Lean and three before that working with another consulting firm."
Mike Thelen,
Lean Six Sigma Champion,
Regal-Beloit Corp
"Working with LEAN Consulting Associates not only delivered hard dollar savings via operational improvement, but also provided a personal coach both during and since the project."
Keith LaPointe,
Purchasing Manager,
Gillette-Procter & Gamble
"We have used other productivity consultants before, but your approach was different. First, after making an inspection of the factory you were able to clearly articulate a vision of how lean manufacturing principles would help us. Second, you provided relevant visual aids to communicate the vision to management and workers. Third, you followed through with us all the way to the shop floor to make sure that we implemented a process to achieve the vision."
Pat Perrin,
CEO and President,
Perrin Manufacturing
"What distinguishes LEAN Consulting Associates is the focus on helping you achieve your business goals by working at the "Gemba" and learning by the hands-on use of the lean tools. Every minute they spend at you facility adds value that will continue to grow after they leave. It is obvious that their goal is to make you self-sufficient, not to make you dependent on them."
Jim Hall,
Director, Continuous Improvement,
