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:

Aerospace and defense manufacturing and refurbishing
Food processing
Basic metal mills and foundries
Chemical and petrochemical production and maintenance
Mining and energy production and maintenance
High volume discrete manufacturing
Build / engineer to order manufacturing
Automotive OEM suppliers
Precision machining operations
Microelectronics component and end-item manufacturing
Financial services companies
Hospital inpatient, emergency, and procedure areas
Physician practices
Executive coaching
Product distributors and distribution centers.
