Over the past two decades, lean has become increasingly accepted as the most suitable operations philosophy by the industry. Most lean interventions are done on existing operations that have been built up over a period of time and added product lines, technology and people as per the business goals of the time. But why not get it right the first time itself as a popular quality tenet says.
“ Do it right the first time and every time”
Lean is as applicable for a new facility or a new product as it is for an existing / running unit. Through initial process and facility design using Lean principles, we can ensure that the process flow is streamlined at the outset and through continual improvement we can ensure it remains that way through the operational cycle.

For a new facility or product, we use a four step process of design and implementation
