<h1>LEAN</h1>
before and after change over times
achieved WITHIN 1 WEEK
The following comments were made after Reduced Effort Changover Kaizen Events. As the operation becomes LEAN dramatic results occur.
“Every time you come out, you energize a new group and show them what they are capable of and how far they can go to accomplish it. You are truly helping me advance the culture. I love the concept of focusing on effort and effort alone. The big "ah ha" for me is watching how risk and time decrease as effort is reduced.”
Matt Roeser, Plant Manager
Major bag manufacturing company
“This training has been impact-full in driving out wasted effort ........... The shift in operator thinking has been very exciting and was not fully expected. The presentations and the work during the event were the drivers of this very positive cultural change in the plant.”
John Mutchler, Plant Manager
Major household cleaning products company
“This process provided a fun and very interesting way of engaging all participants to quickly come to Time & Effort reductions on a change over for our Case Packer. I have, and I speak for the rest of my plant, never seen or participated in anything remotely like the training that you gave here….. This one will definitely go down in our annals of a worthwhile & fun event. Change Over is one of our biggest losses and the only way to tackle it or get our hands around it is through your process.”
Doug Rhoades, WCM site lead,
Major food manufacturing company
“I Can't believe a 42 minute filler change over is now 7 minutes. Simply awesome!”
Tommy Williams, Manager, World Class Manufacturing
Major household cleaning products manufacturer
“It was the most impact-full event I have yet to take part....... While you have always taken the stand that it is more about the culture and changing how people view their roles and responsibilities, I never realized just how true it is. I believe your process is key to changing our site's culture, both at the associate level and the management level.”
Dirk Chitwood, World Class Manufacturing
Major household consumer products company
“The operator’s work load became significantly reduced and the company gained the benefit-----a perfect WIN/WIN.”
Event participant
“Excellent seminar taught by someone who you can tell has a lot of experience in this field. The Reduced Effort Process takes SMED to a totally new level. The results are amazing.”
Event participant
“In 3 days they cut a 150 min. change over down to 35 min., and we had been doing it the old way for 25 years. As always, it is such a pleasure to have you here. You work so well with all of us and the ownership and results you drive are fantastic! Thank you for a great week!!”
