Helping companies maximize productivity and profits through Operations Delivery Model and Lean Manufacturing
At Applied Performance our job as Operations and Lean consultants is very simple: we work with Alberta companies to make productivity happen.
Lean Consulting:
Our support can cover any situation from plant layouts, Lean supervision and high-performance teams, value stream mapping and kaizen improvement events to 5S implementation. We work with companies in many fields such as manufacturing from brewers to machine shops, service companies from IT to financial services groups, and operations from maintenance to medical imaging teams.
Every engagement has the same goals; improve workflow, untangle work process and engage staff to improve productivity and quality.
Lean Training and Coaching
Lean and Six Sigma training and coaching – We recognize every team is different and so are able to adapt our training offerings to meet your team and situations needs. Typical training offerings are Lean 101 & 102, 5S and 7+1 Wastes, Six Sigma Green and Yellow belts..
Operations Delivery Model Training Program:
The Operations Delivery Model Training Program takes companies through a series of steps to implement an effective operations management system. The model builds from communications (information) through workplace organization and planning to quality and process improvement. It delivers an integrated core model that covers work from the start of the day to the end of the day, so work is executed as planned and ‘surprises’ are dealt with proactively and not as constant firefighting.
This unique program builds first the core operations model before then integrating operations into wider business functions and business strategy.
If your business is facing continued operational stress, then your next step is to have a conversation about what the Operations Delivery Model would mean for your company.
The Applied Performance Difference
Successful change is not just about mapping processes and implementing tools. It’s as much about people as it is about processes. Using an approach that combines change management with the ODM and Lean tools, we are able to make change happen faster and stick quicker. We don’t wait for resistance to change to happen, change management is dealt with up front so that both of our jobs are easier.
Is Lean or the ODM Training Program Right for You?
Ask yourself:
- Is operational complexity limiting your ability to deliver?
- Are you under operational stress to meet customers needs?
- Is operations challenged to achieve competitive delivery, productivity or quality?
- Is competition in your industry becoming more difficult and you need to something now?
- Do you know your company could benefit from implementing Lean practices, but just aren’t sure where to start?
