COMPETENCY-BASED LEARNING SOLUTIONS WITH PROVEN RESULTS LEAN

Whether you need training on lean tools and techniques, a customized learning program to overcome specific challenges, or a dramatic culture change for business transformation, we can deliver a competency-based, customized program to help you become an organization driven by lean principles.

When implemented as an overarching business philosophy, lean drives sustainable improvements that increase productivity, sales, and market share. Lean is the elimination of waste or anything that does not add value to a process or product. These wastes could be unnecessary movement of raw materials on a production floor, excess inventory, process inefficiency, or under-utilized employees.

Tooling U-SME is your partner on your lean journey, helping you not only get there but measuring the results along the way.

Following the Shingo Model for Operational Excellence and its guiding principles, we help companies create self-sustaining lean transformations by creating capabilities from within.
