Business Profile
Whichever industry you work in, Lean-Manufacturing is the proven path to improved quality, lower costs and shorter delivery times.
The Lean Manufacturing house can only grow if its foundations are built first. Without using a highly flexible and modular system that allows muda to be eliminated and Kaizen attitudes to be introduced into the plant, it is impossible to proceed to the later steps of Lean Manufacturing, which are work standardization, sequencing (Heijunka) JIT and JIDOKA.
The systematic use of LeanTek acts as a catalyst for the policy of waste reduction and as a tool for implementing the Kaizen attitudes of continuous improvement.
Why give priority to line side productivity? The assembly line is the place where value is created. It is also the place with the highest labour density.
Finally, the line is the most expensive place in terms of production costs, labour density and plant investment.
So priority must be given to line side production because the line is where added value is created.
One of the golden rules of Lean is that Mudas must be eliminated as much as possible from the point of added value, i.e. assembly points.
We shall see for example how Mudas must be "moved" from the line to upstream processes, so that it can then be reduced…
One of the first steps taken by the Lean Company is to introduce multidisciplinary teams (including operators) on the factory floor to help reduce waste.
The Kaizen approach consists of making continual user-driven improvements as part of the fight against muda.
The incomparable flexibility of LeanTek and the ease with which anyone can use the system make it a vital part of implementing any Kaizen policy.
LeanTek creativity delivers effective and practical tools for implementing a policy of continual change.
It is not simply by chance that companies setting up lean manufacturing have adopted the LeanTek tool. This tool is quickly implemented and it is possible to get started and put the idea into application very easily and rapidly. The versatility of LeanTek assists the introduction of the Kaizen continual improvement attitude.
On every continent, the tubular system is recognised as the ideal tool for successfully introducing any lean manufacturing policy.
The LeanTek product range is built around three simple principles: strength, multifunctionality and durability.
- Strength is an essential quality in the industrial environment: our experience of the stresses placed on tubes and roller tracks over the years have led to exclusive LeanTek solutions, such as riveting our roller tracks and the use of 2 mm tubes.
- Multifunctionality is ensured through the mutual compatibility of all components, which minimises impractical diversity.
- Durability comes primarily from the close attention paid to the anti-corrosion coatings we apply to tubes and joints.
