This week ‘Lean’ specialist Michelle Dove started working with the Fashion Enter production team to look at ways of improving their processes and productivity. The pilot project will last a few weeks and is aimed at helping the team to learn and implement the power of ‘lean’ in their work.
Lean is a tried and tested methodology & philosophy for organising, managing, and improving all stages of the business process; product development, operations, suppliers, customer relations, and administration systems. It focusses on improved customer value by eliminating waste.
Michelle says:
It was an absolute pleasure to help Fashion Enter kick start their Lean Journey this week.
The Lean Journey can often be difficult. It requires buy-in from leadership, and the desire to accept fundamental changes to the way you think about the work process. Fashion Enter is fortunate to have very strong buy-in from the leadership plus a team of people who are engaged, open minded and striving to be the best at what they do. This has put them on the right path to taking full advantage of the benefits of being ‘Lean’. Fashion Enter is striving to become an industry leader in continuous improvement and being a Lean Enterprise.
