Lean Fast Operational Review

A Lean Fast Operational Review delivers a comprehensive report and takes approximately 2 days to complete. This is an excellent and cost effective approach to completing a diagnostic of the supply chain from order to receipt of payment. The diagnostic focuses on the local facility.

Our Lean Fast Operational Review has often been so successful in uncovering opportunities for improvement and results that organisations have continued to use Performance Drivers 'Grey-Haired Gurus'™ include specialist project management contractors, consultants and interim executives to assist in delivering the benefits and results.

Background

The ‘Lean’ approach to your operations systems encompasses a range of tools which aggressively target waste and variation in processes, and provide means to deliver robust systems in a way offered by no other approach. Performance Drivers has delivered successful Business improvement implementations in a wide range of industries, and our people have the experience to tailor a Lean approach which is best suited to your company’s specific needs.

  • Informal discussion with staff to understand the perceived issues within the business
