About M-TEC TRAC: The Lean Enterprise TRAC

The Lean Enterprise TRAC

A Lean Enterprise uses a disciplined approach to make dramatic process improvements that lead to significant financial and human benefits. These improvements are accomplished by focusing all members on value as defined by customers and working toward elimination of waste from all processes. A Lean Enterprise uses specific Lean tools to eliminate this waste, and makes the systematic search for waste part of its organizational culture.

Does your organization need to be on the Lean TRAC?

Are you experiencing difficulty meeting customer demand for shorter and shorter lead times?
Are you experiencing difficulty meeting your customers’ demand for quicker response?
Are customers demanding smaller and smaller quantities per shipment?
Do you need additional capacity to meet growing customer demand?
Do you rely on some form of expediting to get product to customers or from suppliers?
Do you have material shortages?
Is your service or output inconsistent for reasons other than changing customer demand?
Do your people spend a lot of time looking for things, waiting on materials, or waiting for direction or information?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, maybe your company should be on the Lean TRAC! Business as usual won’t make the difference.
