Lean Processing and Value Stream Mapping

Lean manufacturing has long been the buzz word throughout the manufacturing and automotive industry, normally associated with the reduction of waste from the manufacturing of a product.

At TEK Optima we can enhance your manufacturing processes; we can also look to identify other areas of waste elimination potential. Indirect areas such as logistics, back office, accounts, supply chain and quality control can often be a source of wasted resources and costs. At TEK Optima we specialise in reducing waste through lean manufacturing techniques.

These techniques include:-

- Value stream mapping – A process of mapping to identify the value added operations.

- JIT (Just in time)

- SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Die)

- Kaizen techniques (continuous improvement)

- 5S (work place organisation)

- Work flow optimisation

- Waste reduction (7 wastes)

Our expertise could improve your efficiency and reduce your costs considerably, improving profitability and potentially customer satisfaction
