VALUES
Lean Thinkers
& Doers
We are the academic practitioners
of lean logistics and supply chain
management. We are committed to
constantly create, disseminate, and
implement advancements in lean supply
chain methods.
Customers Play a Critical Role
Listening to the customer must come
first in all we do. We develop products,
processes, and people based upon
their wants and needs to successfully
grow our company.
Brilliant Processes = Brilliant Results
We focus on the process to achieve
maximum results. The principles of flow,
standard work, quality at the source, and
visual management guide the way we
think. The Plan, Do, Check, Adjust (PDCA)
cycle is used to persistently perfect
all processes.
No Problem is a Problem
We believe everything can be improved
and are never satisfied with the status
quo. We constantly expose and solve
problems at their root cause in order to
learn and make sustainable improvements
every day.
People and Teamwork
We are fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and
competitive. We thrive on hard work and
like what we do. We are only as good as our
people and thus are committed to their
development as lean supply chain and
problem solving experts .
