Lean Toolkit

DMAIC Management
Part of the six sigma methodology, DMAIC plays an integral role in any company’s improvement strategy. By following the five steps, Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control, we can point you in the right direction to ensure that your improvement goals are consistent with your customer’s needs.

Set Up Reduction
Using the ‘hands on’ approach, we can help you to dramatically reduce your set up and change over times, resulting in cost and time savings. By making simple changes you can expect to see a number of benefits including shorter lead times, material waste reduction, higher productivity rates and an overall improvement in efficiency throughout the entire process.

Kanban Control
This is an effective tool that refers to the visual method of pulling material through the production process by replacing the exact amount of product that your customer pulls. ukfirst can offer expert advice on how to implement a Kanban Control system which can eliminate problems faced in stock control and increase your inventory turns.

5C Review
We follow a 5-step technique to stabilise, maintain and improve the workplace, which are;

	Clear Out
	Configure
	Clean to Check
	Conformity
	Custom and Practise

The implementation of this concept acts as a foundation for continuous improvement. This can help you to create a safe, organised working environment, improve efficiently and achieve a higher level of customer satisfaction.
