Reduce Inventories
Improve Customer Lead times
Reduce Process Cycle Times

You can achieve these goals through the application of Lean Manufacturing techniques which facilitate making only what's needed, when needed

Let CIC apply our extensive experience with Kaizen, the Japanese method of continous improvement, to help you achieve:

• 30% Increase in Output
• 50% Reduction  in Defects
• 90% Reduction in Product Cycle Times

The perspective CIC brings to our clients derives from our extensive experience with Kaizen, long established as a Japanese method of continuous improvement and acknowledged as the foundation of "Just in Time" inventory management.

Simply put, Kaizen is a common sense, low cost approach to improving the workplace, whether on the production line or in the office.

In a  Kaizen environment, employees learn how to improve the way they do their jobs, which answers the question so often asked by leaders in their field "How can we do a better job tomorrow than we are doing today?"

What is a Lean Manufacturing Implementation

Use of Kaizen disciplines to implement the lean enterprise. Tools include Value Stream Mapping, SMED (setup time reduction), TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) and Kaizen "Events."
