We work with our clients differently than most consultants: We become your risk-sharing partner to achieve sustainable, breakthrough results in a way that is self-funding with a commitment to success.

SHARED RISK. We link our compensation to your success through progress payments, rather than billing for “time plus expenses”. Our fee is not based on a daily rate- you are never on the clock.

SELF-FUNDING. No need to delay because of budget concerns- we know how to help you design an implementation approach that is self-funding with outstanding ROI.

RAPID RESULTS. Our clients achieve breakthroughs with operational expenses, agility, and throughput during the first weeks.

EXPERTISE. Our Affiliates are some of the most experienced and successful lean consultants in North America. We’re masters of the Toyota Production System and have helped over 120 companies successfully apply this powerful process to their business.

COMMITMENT. We apply the resources, time, and expertise that’s required to achieve the results we agreed upon in a timely manner.

CONNECTIONS. We leverage our relationships with Toyota, Stanford University’s Alliance for Innovative Manufacturing and other organizations to enhance your learning experience.

SUPPORT. We provide free on-site follow-ups and unlimited remote support during and after our engagement to help you sustain your results.

With this approach, we become your risk-sharing partner committed to your success.
