"LEAN" defined
To most companies, "Lean" is the streamlining of processes to increase customer value and minimize waste. To us, "Lean" is far more. We create environments where your leaders help their people learn deeply about themselves, their processes, and how they can harness them to improve your business. We design work for collaborative, enterprise-wide stability and improvement. In turn, 100% of the organization is able to contribute to the greater good of your organization.
Purpose x Process x People: Our Most Valued LEAN Principles
- Purpose: Use it to drive values, thinking and problem solving

We don’t just listen, we hear.
Our clients are always amazed at how quickly we "get them." Our open communication, understanding and empathy transform the tone of change from resistance to anticipation.
While our purpose is to grow your business, it's the passion and speed in transferring our knowledge that clients value most. We take teams to a whole new level of understanding and performance.
When is our work done? Only when we've built a far stronger foundation for your company's future.

"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 can deliver that knowledge."

"What distinguishes LEAN Consulting Associates is their focus on helping you achieve your business goals … by working at the "Gemba" and learning the hands-on use of lean tools. Every minute they spend at your 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

"The success we experienced is most attributable to the passion and talent that LEAN brought … their ability to work side-by-side with our people … as well as their approach … the utmost integrity and respect for all of our people."

"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."
