Our approach: in 5 steps to results with a lean approach
With our lean approach, we help manufacturing companies make continuous improvement visible in daily work. Choose the service that fits and see how our 5-step approach leads to predictable performance, less waste, and empowered teams.
Our Services
Coaching
With coaching, we strengthen leadership and team dynamics within the operational line. We work on rhythm in daily stand-ups and performance reviews, on leader standard work, and on coaching behavior, so that teams make decisions faster and results become predictable.
Leading Autonomous Teams
For manufacturing leaders who want their teams to self-manage results without losing control. You continue to provide direction and frameworks while increasing operational autonomy and helping the team develop the right competencies.
Team Coaching
For teams that want to collaborate better and feel ownership. We make goals concrete, distribute roles, and practice a short improvement cycle so that actions belong to the team and performance improves sustainably.
Project Coaching
Project coaching for the manufacturing industry that seamlessly aligns with your working methods.
We coach project leaders and teams through all DMAIC phases with clear tollgates and sponsor alignment.
This way, you translate improvement plans into execution, sustainability, and visible KPI results.
With consultancy, we clearly identify where the most gains can be made and assist with execution where necessary. From analysis to implementation, we help focus on bottlenecks with the greatest impact and secure the results within the operational line.
Consultancy
Loss & Waste Analysis
For operations that want to make data-driven decisions instead of relying on intuition. We quantify losses, prioritize opportunities, and provide a clear roadmap so that improvement capacity is strategically deployed where it can have the greatest impact.
Lean Operations Management
For plants that want to ensure flow, standard work, and visual management. We establish rhythm in the operational line, build skills, and guide implementation so that performance becomes more stable and improvements yield lasting results.
In compact, practice-oriented sessions, teams learn by doing. We directly apply techniques to your processes, secure what works, and leave with concrete agreements and follow-up actions that immediately fit into the performance rhythm.
Workshops
Team Building
For teams that want to transform friction into collaboration and pace. In one day, we sharpen goals, make clear working agreements, and build trust so that the next sprint runs faster and smoother.
Orange Belt
For professionals who want to improve analytically and see immediate results. We combine theory with cases from your operational line so that Lean Six Sigma tools have an impact on lead time, quality, and costs within the same week.
Loss & Waste Workshop
Lean Leadership
For leaders who view project guidance as an opportunity to foster a continuous improvement culture with team ownership. You will facilitate Lean Six Sigma (DMAIC) projects through coaching leadership, A3 guidance, and an effective sponsorship rhythm that develops project leaders.
Workshop process design & process management
For departments characterized by high variation and excessive exceptions. Together, we design and test clear work processes to demonstrably enhance performance, quality, and safety.
Conducting Training Workshops
Based on a brief intake, we develop a customized in-company train-the-trainer program. Participants design and deliver their own workshop with direct feedback and on-the-job implementation.
Our 5-Step Lean Approach
We work within the operational line, not alongside it. From a brief exploration to concrete scoping, execution on the shop floor, and sustainable implementation. Each component yields clear artifacts that are reflected in the daily rhythm of teams and leadership.
01. Intake: the Question behind the Question
We explore the underlying need and examine goals, context, performance, and previous change attempts. You will receive a concise summary with initial hypotheses on where gains can be made and a proposal for next steps.
02. Determine Approach
03. Scoping
04. Execution on the Shop Floor
Standardized work, rhythm in meetings, coaching on-the-job.
05. Follow-up
Practical Results
“I participated in a Train-the-Trainer session where Tineke was one of the Master Trainers. Thanks to her experience in delivering workshops, Tineke was an inspiring example to learn from. She clearly explained the theory and ensured that all theory was immediately put into practice through exercises. It was a pleasure to attend this workshop.”
Tom van Beek, Business Applications Manager
“Tineke has a remarkable ability to communicate concepts and ideas that significantly enhanced my understanding of statistical analysis – an area where I required support – and this was crucial for the conclusions drawn during the project. Her encouragement was also vital for achieving the Black Belt; always knowledgeable and positive, I consistently looked forward to our mentoring sessions.”
Phil Gladman, CI Manager
Who are our lean approach and services suitable for?
For operational managers, team leaders, and management team members in medium-sized and large manufacturing companies who want to accelerate without losing their foundation. This approach is suitable for organizations already engaged in lean practices or those looking to take the first step towards continuous improvement.
