Granite Bay provides a variety of options for achieving Lean excellence at your facility. Each is backed by our satisfaction guarantee and designed for successful shop floor implementation.

Find the one that best suits your needs, or call us and we'll help desiogn one just for your unique situation!

Option 1: Executive Lean Overview. This is a one-day session geared for plant managers and other leaders to provide a primer on Lean Manufacturing, including a discussion of the tools, when to use them and strategies for successful plant-wide implementation.

Offered occasionally in locations throughout the U.S., this event can be brought directly to your facility and presented to your leadership team.

Option 2: Fast Track LEAN: Rapid Results is an intensive, one-day workshop designed to help target your Lean improvement efforts toward bottom line results. Rather than just review Lean concepts, we discuss how to successfully implement the right tools and techniques for your operation that will provide the greatest impact in the least amount of time.

Option 3: Reducing Costs through Lean Manufacturing is a 3-day in-house seminar designed to give managers, supervisors and shop floor personnel an understanding of how Lean reduces costs that are overlooked by other initiatives. We do not discuss Lean from an academic perspective; we focus on how to use it as a cost reduction/profit enhancement tool.

Participants leave with an understanding of the key Lean tools that they can begin to apply immediately in their work areas. This workshop is an excellent way to kick-off a Lean initiative and get the entire organization on the same page. Conducted world-wide.

Option 4: QuickLeansm is a 3-day applied workshop designed for leaders in small- to medium-size manufacturing plants. This is a cost-effective solution that will help your plant get started on the Lean journey or revitalize your current approach.

The mornings are spent learning about Lean in a classroom. Then, in the afternoon, we move to the plant floor to apply the concepts.

Option 5: Accelerating Performancesm is a 6-month process that provides both the skills and the guidance to engage your entire staff in a series of mini-improvement projects that support a key business objective.

Your plant and staff teams learn certain Lean tools, then apply them right away, to create continuous, sustainable improvements. The structured approach gives your organization the skills and confidence to continue the journey to World-Class Manufacturing on its own.
