Simply Lean

"Simple solutions for complex problems"

We show organizations how to deliver the highest possible quality at the lowest possible cost, when their customers want it, and how to become great places to work.

We do this through training your people to implement the world famous Toyota Management System of Continuous Improvement, commonly known as Lean Thinking or Lean Manufacturing. These are the same techniques that contribute to Toyota Motor Company's continued global success.

No-one except Toyota has more experience of successfully implementing Lean Thinking than we do. We were part of the first group of people to be trained, in Japan, to teach Lean Thinking.

Over the past 20 years we have taught these techniques to over 60 different organisations in New Zealand, Australia and the UK. Click here to read some of our success stories.

Typically Lean Thinking can achieve results such as:

• Defect reductions of 50% per year (zero defects is the aim)

• Delivery lead time reductions of >50%

• Productivity increases of 15-35% per year

• Inventory reductions >25%

• New product development time reductions > 75%

• On time delivery performance >95%

• Return on Assets improvement > 100%

• Employee attitudes-hugely improved

A Simple Definition of Lean thinking: Deliver the most value (from your customers perspective) while consuming the fewest resources. Click here to learn more about Lean Thinking.

Why choose Simply Lean?

It is easy to "talk the Lean talk" and many do, however Toyota has said, "Real knowledge of the Toyota Production System requires at least 10 years of practice working alongside a Sensei or master coach".

That is how we learnt Lean Thinking and why we are the most experienced & successful Lean Practitioners in Australasia, which is why you should choose Simply Lean. Click here and learn more about who we are and the experience we have individually and collectively.
