Process improvement has changed its name many
times over the years. However, the goal of
process improvement is always to reduce cost and
increase profits. Performance Essentials, Inc.
implements process improvement following the
principles of Lean Manufacturing. The benefits
of applying Lean in your manufacturing
environment are so outstanding that Performance
Essentials offers a “Bonus” payment plan for
these consulting services. We are confident that
we can save you considerable cost. For reducing
cost using Lean Manufacturing principles, we
will defer consulting fees until you realize the
projected cost savings. In short, you will pay
us with money you save. After we are paid you
will continue to have cost savings. Lean
Manufacturing quickly pays for itself because
every “cost savings” is a direct return for the
owner or corporation. It’s truly a great return
on investment proposition. |

chief “Lean” consultant. He has worked with
food, textile, and machine parts manufacturers up
and down the east coast. He is an industrial
technologist and human behavior scientist which
gives him the ability to diagnose effective flow
in manufacturing systems as well as motivate
employees to accept change and work more
efficiently. In May 2006 Dr. Miller published
articles in Performance Improvement Journal and
Meat and Poultry magazine demonstrating “ROI”
through the application of Lean Manufacturing.

Lean Tips
-
Waste is anything that
does not add value.
-
You must learn to view
waste a-new.
-
Identifying and
eliminating many small instances of waste
can lead to a large overall change.
-
The goal is the total
elimination of waste
-
Eliminating waste saves
money only if the worker effort previously
expended in a wasteful activity is
redirected into value-adding activity. This
is why “Lean” is not just an engineering
practice. Reinforcing efficient human
behavior is a BIG part of LEAN.
