Enterprise Excellence Consulting

Lean is for small businesses also. Many think that only manufacturing or big businesses are a good fit for Lean techniques and principles. All business enterprises, especially small business can benefit greatly from applying Lean.

Lean is the ultimate GREEN initiative. Reducing waste in all processes by consuming the least amount of resources yields a smaller carbon footprint for your business.

Small business is defined by our federal government to be from 1 to 500 employees. Most of the goods and services produced in our country today are produced by small businesses.

These small businesses have an even greater need to implement Lean to improve Quality, Delivery, Safety and Costs.

Many times small business owners are so busy they never take the time to stop and review their business functions for ways to improve. However, those that make the time for improvement will find themselves not only surviving but prospering in these tough times.

Small businesses must continuously evaluate their operations to look for way of improving with tools like Value Stream Mapping.

The great thing about small businesses are most of their processes are located under one roof and can be looked at easily for improvement opportunities.

As in all industries you must focus on the flow of work and goods or services, inventory of supplies or products and how new products and services are introduced.

The good news is that Lean can help you with all of these functions and all other processes that your business has.

EEC was founded on the belief that small business needs Lean as much as big business.
