]]> One of ArcWest Architect’s unique consulting services that are being positively accepted in this recessionary economy has been the “visual blueprinting” of the workflow of a manufacturing operation.  A baseline graphical document is created as the first step in understanding the overall operation from an inclusive group perspective.  This dynamic lean consulting tool allows a 360 degree perspective of an operation that allows EACH member of the manufacturing team a chance to view where they fit into the overall process.  But more importantly it becomes a facilitation tool to make lean work concepts real for the average worker.

We have successfully implemented this into several manufacturing organizations in this past year resulting in over a 10% savings and yielding a 20 to 1 return on the consulting dollars spent with Bacon Lane Architect LLC.  We would very much like to add your organization to our growing list of satisfied clients.

]]> Rick Ruffino, consultant / partner at Bacon Lane Architect LLC,  recently interviewed with  IFRA (WAN-IFRA) to discuss the concepts of Lean Production and applicability to various  organizations.  In the article, published on the IFRA website, Rick discusses the basic concept and process to the implementation of a structured lean program.

For those less acquainted with the concepts of lean manufacturing, or lean production:  Lean is about increasing efficiency to offer greater value to a customer or client.  Another way to phrase: Lean is about preserving value with less work.  This approach can create savings through efficiency which can be shared between reduced costs to the customer and greater profit to the business.

Rick shared “We are only at the beginning of implementing lean in our (newspaper) organizations and most would benefit from a structured lean program” in response to the the question:  “How much further can this concept be taken into our daily practice?”
