Centre for Lean Excellence assures total lean transformation

Centre for Lean Excellence (CLE), one of the leading training and consulting providers for process innovations, is offering the Profit & Culture Unlock Program (PCUP), an organisation-wide collaborative approach in unlocking a significant bottom-line dollar saving while developing a sustainable continuous improvement lean culture.

The main highlight of the PCUP facilitated by CLE is its result-based payment scheme which comes with the assurance of a guaranteed 20 per cent increase in profits within 12 months and, if not CLE steps up to work at zero cost till the expected results are achieved. The programme has received tremendous success among numerous manufacturers in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, achieving significant recurring cost-saving benefits, the company said in a media release.

CLE uses a homegrown breakthrough hybrid approach that not only delivers results but also develops internal teams through a systematic management system implementation, using Jishuken and Gemba Kaizen, both of which are proven lean approaches implemented globally to enable total lean transformation.

The top-down approach is facilitated through the Jishuken methodology, a leadership-driven cross-functional project execution mechanism, with all projects being validated against the financial bottom-line impact and supported by A3 thinking and visual management approaches. The bottom-up approach is governed by Gemba Kaizen and Quality Circles, which fosters a continuous improvement mindset.

Some of the proven benefits of PCUP include bottom-line cost savings with tangible financial and non-financial outcomes, improving capacities, establishing a culture of continuous improvement, aligning the vision to the grassroot levels, enhancing people’s lean leadership traits, optimising work and capabilities, value stream collaboration, operational stability, among others.
