Your challenges

Your challenges in Lean.

Three typical symptoms of an organisation where Lean is not yet embedded.

The 8 Muda everywhere

Overproduction, waiting, transport, inventory, defects - value-added sometimes represents less than 5% of the actual cycle time.

A poorly organised workshop

No 5S, tools nowhere to be found, saturated workstations. Safety and quality suffer as much as productivity.

Push flows, not pull

Batch production, intermediate inventory everywhere, customer lead times too long. The system does not breathe to the rhythm of demand.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What is Lean Management?+
Lean Management is a management method derived from the Toyota Production System (TPS). It aims to maximise the value created for the customer by systematically eliminating waste (Muda) in production and service processes. Its main tools include VSM, 5S, Kanban, SMED and Kaizen.
What is the difference between Lean Management and Lean Manufacturing?+
Lean Manufacturing is the application of Lean principles specifically to industrial production. Lean Management is broader: it applies to the whole organisation - production, logistics, support, management. SXE Consulting works on both dimensions.
How long does a Lean assignment last?+
An initial diagnosis takes 2 to 5 days. A targeted Lean project (5S, SMED, VSM) generally lasts 4 to 8 weeks. A full Lean deployment runs over 6 to 18 months.
Does Lean apply to all industries?+
Yes - steel, chemicals, food processing, automotive, tyres, plastics, industrial services. The tools adapt to the context but the principles remain universal.
Do you work with SMEs or only large groups?+
Both. Our clients range from industrial SMEs (50 people) to major international groups. The method adapts to your size, budget and maturity.
