“Lean Manufacturing” is more than a set of shop floor techniques designed to improve operations, it is a philosophy of systemic elimination of waste or non-value-added activities. The result is a more nimble, responsive and profitable organization. ABS has helped dozens of organizations implement lean manufacturing, so we understand the challenges associated with implementing lean manufacturing techniques. From executive education to implementing fully integrated electronic kanban solutions on the shop floor, ABS can help you achieve world class manufacturing success.

At ABS, we recognize the importance of understanding your business and the challenges that it faces. Although we have accumulated a comprehensive knowledge of manufacturing and distribution, it is only when we understand your specific needs that we are able to present an appropriate solution. We pride ourselves in developing and implementing the correct solutions for those challenges. That is how we have helped manufacturers and distributors throughout the world improve their core business and information technology practices.

The lifeblood of any business is the customer. The more you know about your customer, the better partner you are able to be for them. This means more than knowing a name and address, it means understanding your customers trends, buying habits, and preferences. Providing analytical tools such as data mining and execution tools like internet ordering or ASN transmittal will allow you to solidify that relationship. When it comes to addressing customer relationship management there are a variety of options available, and we would be happy to assist you in determining the option that will work best for your business.

One of the broadest areas of opportunity for manufacturers today is in the area of supply chain management. Improved communications and tighter integration with customers and suppliers is critical to improved supply chain management. Our team of consultants has an extensive background working with organizations to improve their supply chain. Technologies such as internet portals and secure data sharing with your trusted partners improve accuracy and efficiency on both sides of the relationship. Supply chain improvements are critical when implementing lean manufacturing techniques and philosophies, so supply chain management is a critical facet of achieving “lean”.
