At Lean Advisors, we use Lean and Kaizen to transform entire organizations. Unlike the typical Lean method shop, we are a full service consultancy with deep expertise in Lean Manufacturing, Lean Healthcare, Lean Education, Lean Office/Administration and Lean Government Services. Our consultants help individuals become Lean leaders within their organizations as they overcome resistance to change and instill a Lean culture of continuous improvement.
While we are passionate about Lean, we understand that methods can’t be imposed on organizations. This is why we have adapted Value Stream Mapping, 5S, Kan-Ban and the remaining Lean processes according to the particular needs of the industries that we serve. We understand that changes in attitude don’t come easily, and our consultants take pride in their ability to acknowledge concerns while instilling the confidence to move forward with an effective and defined plan.
This site is organized around the sectors that we serve. We’ve put an emphasis on practical, real-world solutions that reflect the true spirit of Lean and Kaizen. We hope you will take the time to learn about us and more important, about the people who have worked with us to change their organizations to create better value for their customers.
