The Lean Enterprise methodology is a continuous improvement process that increases efficiencies & optimizes every area of a manufacturing business.

By focusing on "The Five Pillars" for Optimum Performance in Manufacturing Business, our exclusive methodology strengthens all departments in a manufacturing organization. Whatever the objective, with the Lean Enterprise methodology, clients achieve more than simply cutting waste on the production floor.

LEAN ENTERPRISE ASSESSMENT


By examining the five key areas: Leadership, People, Processes, Technology, and Data, a holistic strategy is crafted that fosters growth, performance, and cooperation while also supporting the individual team members, departments, and organizational goals.

The process involves an objective assessment of value & performance in 5-key areas (pillars) affecting company objectives:

LEADERSHIP – Vision, Direction, Goals, Communication, Culture
PEOPLE – Organizational Effectiveness, Accountability, Team Mentality, Skillsets
PROCESSES – Defined, Enforced, Efficient, Optimized
TECHNOLOGY – Current, Effective, Utilized, Implemented
DATA – Captured, Accurate, Accessible, Relevant

We call these “The 5 Pillars” for Optimum Performance in Manufacturing Business. Through unbiased evaluation, our clients are also benchmarked against others in the industry. We call this assessment, the Lean Enterprise Maturity™ Model.

D3’s Typical Point of Entry is Engineering

Why Engineering?

It's all about the data, which we often refer to as "Engineering Intelligence" because it's fluid and changes often.

  • Engineering is often referred to as the "Black Box" of manufacturing organizations. Meaning, it's mysterious, but also highly technical and complex.
  • D3 exposes what's going on in the "Black Box" so the entire enterprise can benefit from the Engineering Intelligence (data) engineering creates.
  • In D3's experience, when companies design products, the engineering department owns all of the data.
  • Production cannot manufacture anything without engineering's data.
  • Sales cannot sell anything without production, making products.
  • Finance will not need to worry about counting money without sales.
  • Therefore, there will be no customers to service or support.
