<p class="MsoNormal"><span>In today’s competitive marketplace, successful manufacturers are flexible, efficient and responsive to customer needs. They have effective processes and a safe working environment for employees who are engaged and committed to results. While lean manufacturing has been around for years, it is more important than ever as operational efficiency is foundational for automation and even workforce retention.</span></p><p>The <a href="/mep/mep-national-network" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="234bfb82-5e91-47be-bc7b-25271dcdca53" data-entity-substitution="canonical" title="MEP National Network">MEP National Network’s</a> lean manufacturing and continuous improvement solutions help you apply disciplined methodologies and tools to ensure a continuous flow of value to your customer. The Network’s lean consultants consider the entire organization – plant floor, leadership and culture – and strive to embed lean principles and tools throughout the company. This holistic approach ensures that continuous improvement practices last and lead to more streamlined operations, reduced defects, shorter lead time, increased productivity and freed up production capacity. The MEP National Network has delivered over 80,000 lean manufacturing projects. These projects have helped manufacturers save over $18.8 billion and increase and retain billions of dollars in sales.</p><p>MEP Centers can assist you in applying the lean process improvements through methods described below.</p><h2>Value Stream Mapping</h2><p>Often the first step in applying lean process improvements, <a href="/mep/value-stream-mapping" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="00870d06-edc5-4b32-9cf3-afc2d9a98443" data-entity-substitution="canonical" title="Value Stream Mapping">value stream mapping (VSM)</a> helps you uncover waste and determine how best to streamline your manufacturing and office processes. <a href="/mep/value-stream-mapping" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="00870d06-edc5-4b32-9cf3-afc2d9a98443" data-entity-substitution="canonical" title="Value Stream Mapping">VSM</a> allows you to take a high-level view of your process or value stream and then diagnose problems and implement changes. VSM is a great way to identify the right areas for improvement, allowing your company to maximize its productivity.</p><h2>5S (Sort/Set in order/Shine/Standardize/Sustain)</h2><p>5S is a lean manufacturing methodology used by front-line workers to organize the workplace by arranging tools and parts so that unnecessary items are removed, and required tools are visible with their proper placement self-explanatory. The result simplifies work processes, improves workplace safety, and eases equipment maintenance and troubleshooting.</p><h2>Quick Changeover/Setup Reduction</h2><p>Quick changeover/setup reduction is a lean process improvement that focuses on reducing the time between the last good piece off the current run and the first good piece off the next run. The MEP National Network can help your company learn quick changeover/setup reduction methodologies and practice the setup reduction principles in a selected process within your plant operations.</p><h2>Cellular / Flow Manufacturing</h2><p>Cellular flow manufacturing arranges process steps and equipment to achieve a continuous flow with no wasted motions or interruptions from batch and cue. Flow is often achieved through the design of cells for product families where equipment is lined up in a tight sequence to allow for one piece flow and a flexible and balanced workload among stations. Benefits of this lean manufacturing principle<span> </span>include increased productivity, reduced lead time, reduced inventory and faster resolution to quality problems.</p><h2>Kanban</h2><p><a href="/blogs/manufacturing-innovation-blog/sensor-technology-empowers-food-manufacturer" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="038c47b1-8f91-4dfa-9f0e-a6a1695e959b" data-entity-substitution="canonical" title="Sensor Technology Empowers Food Manufacturer">Kanban
