Lean System Benefits
Specialists in Lean System Solutions – Supply & Design
With continuous improvement being the focus of Lean Manufacturing and related lean principles (TPS, Kaizen, Lean Six Sigma, 8 Forms of Waste, Benchmarking, 5S’s, 3Ms ,TQM, etc) effectiveness and efficiency across all areas of a business are increasingly important. With this in mind ATC works with its customers to understand their processes and develop the best solutions for them whether it be solutions for Lean Systems, Lean Environments, Industry 4.0, Assembly Line Configurations, Production Logistics, Workstation Ergonomics, etc.
Our lean modular system, Flowtube, allows users build bespoke solutions designed specifically for their process. These bespoke workbenches, trolleys, workstations, First In First Out (FIFO) racks with or without totes help eliminate unnecessary work and improve material flow. In addition our products are ergonomically designed to meet lean manufacturing and continuous improvement (kaizen) principles. Our design team will work with you to determine the best solution for you. Benefits from implementing lean solutions include:
Time
Our range of lean solutions can help you save time in your process by providing solutions that reduce material handling and movement.
Cost
Our range of lean solutions can help you save time in your process by providing solutions that reduce material handling and movement.
Ergonomics
Our solutions are designed with optimal operator performance in mind, reducing unnecessary stresses and strains on the body to result in a more efficient operator.
Space
Our solutions can be designed to suit your exact space requirements, maximising what you can fit.
Frequent Questions
Implementing lean systems helps reduce material handling and movement, saves time, improves operator performance by minimizing physical stress, and maximizes space utilization. These benefits lead to more efficient processes and continuous improvement across the business.
Flowtube allows users to build custom solutions like workbenches, trolleys, and FIFO racks tailored to their specific process needs. It helps eliminate unnecessary work, improve material flow, and support lean manufacturing principles.
ATC's products are ergonomically designed to reduce operator stress and strains. Their design team collaborates with clients to create solutions that fit space requirements and promote operator comfort, aligning with lean and continuous improvement principles.
Lean Manufacturing is a methodology focused on minimizing waste and maximizing value by continuously improving processes. It involves principles like Kaizen, 5S, and the elimination of the 8 forms of waste to enhance efficiency.
Common lean principles include continuous improvement, waste reduction, and value stream mapping. Tools such as 5S, Kaizen, TQM, and Lean Six Sigma are used to implement these principles effectively.
