Introduction

Lean for industrial SMEs in the Somme?

The industrial fabric around Amiens is made up of SMEs: engineering and subcontracting, food processing, plastics, equipment manufacturing. Flat structures where decisions are taken quickly — the ideal ground for pragmatic lean, free of bureaucracy. A well-run 5S or SMED workshop delivers results in weeks, not years. A typical assignment: an engineering SME in the northern industrial estate substantially reduced its changeover times and freed up machine capacity — two SMED workshops and one 5S. We work in Amiens, Abbeville, Albert, Péronne and throughout the Somme.

🏭

Designed for SMEs

No monumental programmes: short, targeted workshops sized for teams of 20 to 200 people.

Gains in weeks

Self-sufficiency at the end of the assignment

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Is lean suitable for an SME of 30 people?+
Perfectly — indeed this is where it delivers its fastest ROI: flat structures, immediate decisions, effects visible to everyone. A first 5S or SMED workshop costs a few days of consulting and pays for itself within weeks.
Do you cover the whole of the Somme?+
Yes: Amiens, Abbeville, Albert, Péronne, Montdidier — and the neighbouring departments (Oise, Aisne, Pas-de-Calais) as a natural extension of our assignments in Picardy.
How much does a lean programme cost for an SME?+
A pilot workshop represents three to eight days of consulting. A full programme runs over four to nine months with decreasing intensity. Regional and Bpifrance subsidies significantly reduce the cost for eligible SMEs.
Our margins are tight — what return can we expect?+
That is precisely the argument for lean: the gains come from what you already have, without capital expenditure. SME references: −25% waste, significant OEE gains, capacity freed up on bottleneck machines. The typical ROI of an SME programme is six to ten months.
How does the programme start?+
A 30-minute call, then an on-site audit of two to three days (SME scale) with a costed presentation of findings: improvement potential, action plan, quick wins. You then decide — with no commitment.
