Beyond Manufacturing Floor Lean
Lean manufacturing has long been the buzz word throughout the manufacturing and automotive industry, normally associated with the reduction of waste from the manufacturing of a product.
At TEK Optima we can enhance your manufacturing processes; we can also look to identify other areas of waste elimination potential. Indirect areas such as logistics, back office, accounts, supply chain and quality control can often be a source of wasted resources and costs.
At TEK Optima we specialise in reducing waste through lean manufacturing techniques.
