The connection between Lean and the Life Sciences industry may not be obvious to some. We know differently. Lean is about principle-driven removal of waste and unwanted variability from all business processes; the relentless pursuit of perfection in meeting the needs of customers. Above all other operating philosophies Lean values time, transforming its use across business processes including New Product Development, New Product Introduction, and the end-to-end supply chain inclusive of Plan, Source, Make and Deliver. Accordingly, Lean increases productivity, available capacity, and improves operating agility and market responsiveness. Products flow to the market more quickly and more efficiently, enabling savings for re-investment in R&D and brand building. Moreover, Lean’s bedrock principle of Standard Work imparts process discipline and rigor, facilitating the transparency and control critical to quality and overall cGMP compliance. Ultimately, Lean is about velocity; velocity under control, delivering speed of benefits enterprise-wide and assured quality of effect.
Lean make wastes visible, enabling its ongoing removal powerfully and sustainably through your people. Lean transformation isn’t about fly-in-fly-out domain experts or kaizen-in-a-box. It’s about developing an organizational culture relentless in its pursuit of perfect, waste-free customer focused service creating a powerful strategic response to industry challenges and a real source of competitive advantage and value creation.
Our place in the world of biotech & pharmaceuticalsWe’ve partnered with leading companies in Life Sciences to deliver the benefits of Lean to their enterprises. We’re not about the clumsy force-fit application of factory Lean. We tailor the application of Lean principles and tools specifically to your business and we do so strategically, with intellectual sophistication and the benefit of deep industry operating experience. We align Lean and Six Sigma with your purpose. It’s a crucial distinction. When employed the way they should be – strategically and organization-wide – your business benefits maximally.
We are teachers. We teach your cross-functional teams to apply Lean to create velocity, eliminate wastes, and synchronize flow in value streams focused on your customers. We teach how to apply Six Sigma upon Lean to determine, manage and reduce variation in the value streams. The combination is powerful. Your people’s sights are expanded and raised far above the internal. Through this modern view, your teams are able to think differently about how the value of science is achieved and how your business is done. They advance the activities and interactions that add value - and reduce the ones that do not. Response time is reduced in all things, allowing the discovery and correction of problems before they impact your ability to serve. Simplified, reliable, synchronous processes spanning your total value stream expand your capabilities resulting in year-after-year gains in capital productivity and free cash flows to support reinvestment, enterprise value and stakeholder reward. By applying Lean broadly, you improve effectiveness throughout the value stream and develop integrated solutions that answer not only the operational, but the strategic and organizational challenges, as well. You design your system for sustained growth and the continuous delivery of best-in-market products and services integral to best-in-market business performance.
Our people – your coaches – have experienced the successes and the mistakes of transformation initiatives. In transferring the implicit knowledge critical to success, we work with your teams to avoid the pitfalls and dead ends, to overcome the frustrations of change and build a confident culture committed to continuous improvement supported by sustained results. In doing so, we reduce time to value on your Lean Six Sigma investment.
We look forward to partnering with you in your journey.
