Philosophy

For me, this is True North:

Develop lean thinking leaders
Who are able to apply lean principles to their own processes
And teach others to do the same,
Producing environments where learning and improvement
Are ongoing and continuous.

My goal as a consultant is to help you develop your internal lean capability. My responsibility as a lean consultant is to develop skills and strengths in my clients, not to create dependency. My reputation for service is the only stock in trade I can depend on in the long run.

With over 30 years' experience, I understand consulting as a process, practice, and discipline.

My principle areas of lean consulting expertise, all experience based, include these domains:

Food processors
Basic metal mills and foundries
Alkaline battery manufacturing
Wood construction component manufacturing
Auto parts OEM suppliers
Hydraulic system manufacturing
Microelectronics component manufacturing
Electronics end-item manufacturing
Financial services companies
Hydrogen fuel cell manufacturing
Hospitals
Health care services providers
Universities, and
Office furniture manufacturers and distributors.
