How Lean Manufacturing helps business and organisation improve their productivities
An SME manufacturer in KL, Malaysia, was facing significant challenges of high lead times and high raw material inventory levels, which affected their ability to meet customer demands.

Our consultancy team recently worked with a large equipment manufacturer based in Penang to overcome several operational challenges, including a long lead time to complete each machine assembly. This was resulting in frequent delays in delivery, leading to high late delivery penalty payments.
To help the client overcome these challenges, our team worked closely with them for four weeks, implementing value stream mapping, standardised work, visual performance, and LEAN project management techniques. We utilized our expertise in Lean methodology to streamline the company's operations and optimize their assembly process.
The results were significant. After four weeks, the team successfully reduced assembly lead time by 45%, and the company was able to eliminate late deliveries altogether. These improvements have helped the company improve its customer satisfaction, reduce penalty payments, and improve its bottom line.
