Lean Enterprise Transformation Since 2001

Lean Manufacturing Transformation: A Holistic Approach

The promise of Lean Six Sigma is that the enterprise can deliver products, services, value, and so forth “on demand.” The vigor and competitive advantage of a “real-time” organization is relentless but only achievable through the improvement of “end-to-end” processes.

Project Summary

Anderson Windows wanted to reduce its cycle time and manufacturing costs to preserve its reputation and competitive position as a premier manufacturer. Through a pilot program, Lean Horizons implemented a Lean Transformation of one complete product line, providing both a holistic solution and a vision of the vitality of a Lean Enterprise. By implementing a robust S&OP process and heijunka – level scheduling, the client was able to transform manufacturing and distribution operations. The following are representative results:

Metric Improvement
Required Manufacturing Space – 18,000 sq ft
Shop Floor Inventory – $600,000
Operator Travel Distances – 90%
Delivery Lead Time – 43%
Additional Revenue from a Single Line + $1,200,000
