| Quality |
Increasing the quality level of the working
process means reducing the number of errors, repairs
and rejects. The result is less demand for company resources
and therefore lower total operating costs.

|
| Cost |
The production process begins with human
resources, installations and raw materials and ends
with finished products. Productivity increases when
the same amount of initial resources generate more finished
products at the end of the process, or, conversely,
when less initial resources are required to produce
the same volume of finished products.

|
| Deadlines : Reducing throughtime |
Throughtime is the time that elapses
between the company receiving its raw materials and
receiving payment for the products produced using those
raw materials. Reducing this interval means being able
to produce more products in the same time, better rotation
of resources and the ability to react faster and more
flexibly to satisfy customer needs.
|
|
| Cost : Shortening the production line |
A production line that is too long means more
personnel, more work in progress, longer task
execution times and higher logistics costs. Not
only does space optimization reduce all these
costs, but it also allows you to produce more
in the same space.
The result is the opportunity to make substantial
savings on investment : fewer buildings, less
floor area, lower general costs.

Priority to line side productivity :
the flexibility of LeanTek enables flow rack lines
to be compressed through successive stages of customization.
|
|
| Cost : Reducing inventory |
Inventories eat up space, add considerably
to logistics costs and consume significant amounts
of financial assets ; assets that could be better
employed elsewhere.
Used in conjunction with small containers and
supply trains, LeanTek supermarkets located as
closely as possible to the line and LeanTek line-side
flow racks give companies back the value destroyed
by old stock management systems with their containers,
pallets and forklift handling.

 |
|
| Cost : Reducing space |
Most companies use far too much space and more
personnel than they need to :
Lean Manufacturing using the LeanTek system does
away with unproductive conveyors, reduces production
line length, incorporates previously separate
workstations into the main line, reduces stocks
and cuts logistics costs.
All these improvements help reduce the need for
space and offer the option of earmarking the regained
space for future expansion.
