“We began using the services of Lynn Thompson at Quantum Lean a couple of years ago to update our staff on some lean training and to look for ways to improve our production and flow in our cabinet operation.  We were so pleased with the results that we brought her back again to work on the flow and processes in our hidden factory, the cabinet sales office.  There are a total of 15 people in our cabinet operation, and we have several other divisions of our lumber company, which employees 180 people total.  As a result of the progress the cabinet company made, we decided to bring her back to work on other areas of our company.

Through discussions with Lynn, we discovered that she also facilitates Strategic and Family Planning sessions.  We enlisted her services and held our first Strategic Planning Meeting.  Although I felt we learned so much in our meetings, we discovered we were not as organized as we needed to be and were not able to accomplish everything we had planned at our first annual meeting.

We recently had our second Planning meeting and so far have achieved much more success with the added organizational skills she helped develop.

Lynn also introduced our group to their software, Kaizenify, which our staff took to immediately and utilizes daily.  Our business is a 2nd generation family business that has achieved tremendous growth and in utilizing Lynn’s expertise in Lean in both the plant and the office, the Theory of Constraints, and Strategic & Family Planning we are on a much-improved path.

I would strongly encourage anyone who needs assistance as well as those that feel they are on the top of their game, to try Lynn at Quantum Lean and watch for the improvements.”

I’m under no illusion that we will ever be finished, but so far our Lean Journey has helped to transform this company.

Sales and shipments are up dramatically, WIP is down 35% and COGs have been reduced significantly. Stress in the factory is almost non-existent.

Thanks for your help! – Andrew

“I can’t say enough about these tools.  It’s so simple, I’ve even done it from my phone!  There’s nothing holding me back, and I’m finally fulfilling my commitment to standardization and training.”

“The Quantum Lean website has been an incredibly useful tool for our company! It has helped to streamline multiple processes that used to be very cumbersome. We have already recommended the site to others, and will continue to do so! “

“We have been using the hell out of the site. This has been a great solution to both the Kanban and SOP’s. We have struggled doing this for way to long. This has made this so much easier.”
