In today's tough economic and competitive
climate, manufacturers are under constant pressure to meet
the ever-increasing demands of customers. They have
all heard the battle cry "GET LEAN" if you want
to survive, and for many, the results have been impressive.
- Inventories down by 90%
- Productivity up by 200%
- Throughput times reduced by 90%
- Scrap and rework reduced by 85%
- Customer service levels exceeding 98% on time delivery.
Yet even the most successful of these companies are finding it almost impossible to sustain these improvements as the try to roll their Lean Initiatives across the enterprise. Why? Does it mean Lean is just another fad? Are the principles of Lean wrong? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
What it does mean is that the manual processes used to implement and manage most Lean initiatives require too much manpower to grow and sustain them across the enterprise.
Traditional approaches and most ERP systems
just don't seem to understand the world of Lean. Islands
of information, manual spreadsheets, and production systems
that lack even basic integration with EPR backbones are everywhere!
Paper-Less LEAP (Lean Execution And Planning) is the next generation of MES tools specifically designed to support your Lean initiatives on the shop floor.
LEAP is:
Focused...
Visual...
Simple...
We created LEAP with one focus in mind: Providing practical yet innovative technical solutions specifically designed to support and sustain your Lean initiatives.

- Kanban setup and management
- Demand Leveling

"Visual" execution is clearly
one of the cornerstone philosophies of Lean. Yet, most
