Lean Manufacturing for Industrial Products
The client, an industrial product manufacturer, was burdened with operational bottlenecks, leading to prolonged lead times and increased costs.
The client sought an experienced consultant who could apply lean manufacturing principles to address inefficiencies across the manufacturing sites.
Consultport proposed 2 strong consultants within 24 hours. The client interviewed both candidates and selected a former consultant at CAMELOT Consulting with extensive experiences working on lean manufacturing projects. The consultant started working with the client team 48 hours after the initial request.
The consultant conducted a comprehensive value stream mapping exercise combined with a detailed bottleneck assessment to obtain a holistic view of the client’s end-to-end operations. This approach helped visualize the flow of processes, materials, and information across departments, enabling the identification of inefficiencies, redundancies, and non–value-adding activities.
By analyzing cycle times, handoffs, and capacity constraints, the consultant pinpointed specific areas where delays were occurring and highlighted opportunities to streamline workflows, reallocate resources, and standardize procedures. The assessment provided a fact-based foundation for prioritizing improvement initiatives aimed at reducing waste, optimizing productivity, and enhancing overall operational performance.
The reorganization plan gained leadership approval and its pilot implementation delivered measurable improvements in efficiency, validating the approach and setting the stage for broader rollout.
