Lean Testimonials

“Lean training and implementation has been great for FLEXcon because it is often so simplistic that many of your answers were right there in front of you. It helps us identify and implement improvements that have had a positive result on our work and the bottom line of our company.”
-----FLEXcon

“We wanted to improve our total operation and reduce the amount of waste within our production process, all while delivering an error-free design to manufacturing. (This training) helps us produce some major results and now each Lean training participant has the skill set needed to carry on through our Lean journey.”

-----Stellar Industries
Manufacturer of customized high tech products for the telecom, biomedical and defense industries.

“They facilitated 12 Time Wise® Principles of Lean Manufacturing workshops with us, which included Value Stream Mapping (VSM) training and Kaizen workshops which helped us to quickly improve work cell flow. All our employees took part in this training and I personally was extremely happy to see the reaction of the employees and how well it was received. We do not initiate a new process without conducting a VSM. We have noticed a reduction in company costs and an increase in company sales. The progress to-date is remarkable. “
-----Enser Corporation
Thermal battery supplier to the Department of Defense

“We participated in Lean training and the team created Value Stream Maps and implement Kaizen vents that ultimately reworked our entire process – from physical layout and work flow process to ‘how we do things’. We are witnessing a monthly productivity increase of 20% and have now are delivering our products at a 99% on time delivery rate.”
-----Hanger Prosthetics

“Producing a custom door used to take 20 – 22 hours. We engaged them in Lean training and consulting which helped us reduce our production time down to 12 hours. We learned how to change our batch sizes to be aligned with one piece product flow and this helped us cut our lead time by 66% and further reduce our production time by 11%. Their work exceeded all of my expectations.”
