Consulting and coaching for the implementation of lean production

Problems solved for enterprises

Through the implementation of lean production, ShangshuCe Consulting systematically addresses the core challenges faced by enterprises in on-site management and operational efficiency:

 1. Improve all-factor indicators on the production site

Focusing on the six core elements of "people, machines, materials, methods, environment, and measurement", we utilize lean tools (such as 5S, TPM, standardized operations) to enhance employee skills, equipment efficiency, material flow, method standardization, environmental management, and measurement accuracy, thereby achieving a comprehensive upgrade in on-site management.   

 2. Achieve collaborative optimization of output, cost, and efficiency

Through the implementation of lean projects and the construction of a cost management system, we assist enterprises in reducing waste (such as inventory of work-in-process and equipment malfunctions), eliminating bottlenecks (such as process redundancy and resource mismatch), and ultimately achieving the core objectives of "increasing production, reducing costs, and enhancing efficiency".   

 3. Build process-oriented organizations and cross-departmental collaboration capabilities

Addressing the issue of inefficiency caused by "departmental barriers" in traditional organizations, we have implemented process organizational changes to integrate fragmented departmental processes into an end-to-end business chain. We have clarified cross-departmental responsibilities and interface rules, fostering a systematic collaborative capability.   

 4. Address the management dilemma of "multiple systems coexisting and implementation being disconnected"

When an enterprise has multiple management systems such as ISO9000, HSE, and internal control but finds it difficult to implement them, we take processes as the main thread, integrating scattered management requirements into unified operational norms and institutional documents. This approach avoids conflicts and redundancies between systems, ensuring that management requirements and business practices are seamlessly integrated.   

 5. Promote the normalization and full participation of lean culture

Through the construction of a training system and guidance in project practice, we assist enterprises in transforming lean concepts from "short-term activities" into "long-term culture", stimulating employees' initiative to improve, and ensuring that management requirements are truly implemented and continuously optimized.

Our services

Business strategy consulting takes the implementation of lean production as its core objective. Through the systematic "five-step lean management approach", it provides enterprises with solutions covering all elements and the entire value chain, promoting continuous improvement in on-site indicators such as "people, machines, materials, methods, environment, and measurement", ultimately achieving the synergistic goals of increasing production, reducing costs, and optimizing efficiency.

Step 1: Establish a lean management system - lay the foundation for systematic implementation

Guided by corporate strategy, we assist in building a lean management mechanism that is both industry-compatible and enterprise-specific. By streamlining management processes, clarifying division of responsibilities, and formulating standardized rules, we create a platform-based lean management framework. This framework provides comprehensive support for the enterprise, from concept promotion to tool application, ensuring that lean production transforms from a "concept" into an "executable system".   

 Step 2: Build a lean project - drive precise improvement in key areas

Based on the "project team-based" management model, we have implemented the seven core projects of lean management step by step, including job innovation, lean major projects, on-site 5S, standardized operations, TPM (Total Productive Maintenance), etc. Each project revolves around on-site practical issues (such as efficiency bottlenecks, quality fluctuations), and achieves breakthrough optimization in key areas through team collaboration and tool application (such as value stream analysis, Kanban management).   

 Step 3: Process organization transformation - building cross-departmental collaboration capabilities

We assist enterprises in establishing and improving a comprehensive process management system, upgrading from department-level processes to end-to-end business chain design, and initially creating a process-oriented organizational form. By clarifying cross-departmental responsibilities and interface rules, we break down traditional "functional barriers" and ensure that the lean concept permeates the entire lifecycle from customer demand to product delivery, thereby enhancing overall operational efficiency and response speed.   

 Step 4: Establish a cost management system - institutionalize mechanisms for cost reduction and efficiency enhancement

By deeply integrating lean project outcomes with cost control, we assist enterprises in establishing a "three-tier cost management system" encompassing strategic, management, and execution levels. By quantifying cost indicators, establishing an anomaly analysis mechanism, and optimizing resource allocation pathways, we ensure that cost reduction and efficiency enhancement evolve from "piecemeal measures" to "systematic management," fostering sustainable cost control capabilities.   

 Step 5: Establish a lean practice training system - empowering all employees to continuously improve

With the core principle of "applying what you learn and integrating learning with application", we have established three major systems of lean training (such as knowledge transfer, tool application, and cultural shaping) that are tailored to corporate strategic planning. Through hierarchical training (management level, frontline employees) and project coaching, we ensure that employees not only master lean tools but also integrate the concepts into daily practice, forming a cultural foundation of "everyone participating in improvement".
