Overview
At the core of Lean thinking is identifying and minimizing the resources required for production. This is achieved by purging non-value
added activities that inflate costs, inventory requirements and excessive lead times, and emphasizing the use of quality improvement plans,
preventive maintenance, efficient production facilities, pull systems, and flexible work forces.
RCM’s certified consultants will assess your organization’s non-value added activities, also called wastes, and implement lean initiatives for
the long-term. RCM will then create a strategy that delivers a customized enterprise-wide solution that incorporates your organization’s business
model, core processes and functions. No matter where you are in your lean journey, RCM is here to guide the way.
