Lean manufacturing in design

MPS can bring to its customers specialist knowledge in business and operational process improvement programmes, coupled with practical application of continuous improvement methods and tools including: lean manufacturing, lean compliance, lean project management, value stream mapping, root cause analysis, cause and effect, SMED, 5s and OEE.

This is a key differentiator and has contributed to our continued success in the manufacturing sector.

Lean thinking is built on the belief that:

It is possible to design, provide and service products with less human effort

Production capacity can be increased with less capital investment

Process can be provided with few deviations

Products can be supplied with fewer defects and or the need for rework

From concept to start-up projects can be delivered more effectively and efficiently

Unit prices, inventory and delivery times can be reduced

Goods and services can be provided in safer, more environmentally friendly environments.
