Purpose:  To make available to the company’s management team, an evaluation of their current state of manufacturing effectiveness and the potential benefits of focusing on kaizen based lean manufacturing solutions.

The Manufacturing Survey reviews and evaluates business and manufacturing systems, production effectiveness, operational costs, organizational structure, resource utilization, quality management system, business flow/speed, and supply chain management. 

The results are documented in a management report that benchmarks best-in-class manufacturing performance and identifies significant manufacturing solutions. Included is a prioritized Corrective Action Plan with recommendations on how to convert these manufacturing solutions into reality. Implementation assistance is available if requested.  

Scope: Time required to complete an onsite survey would vary with the client’s preferred focus and complexity of the company’s order fulfillment and production
processes.  The Management Report and the KBLM Action Plan would be presented for review and discussion within two-weeks of completion of the onsite survey. Satisfaction is guaranteed, if you are not pleased with our work, there would be no fee.

How do we get started?

Congratulations, if you have read this far, you are an excellent candidate for Bill's Manufacturing Survey.  A pre-survey meeting is suggested to assure that there is mutual understanding and agreement about:

  • The structure and objective of your program

  • The level of involvement and commitment required

  • Team members' roles, expectations and selection

Bill's preference is to meet with the CEO and Operations leader at the factory site where the proposed project would take place. A morning "get acquainted" meeting and plant tour is usually sufficient to cover the above subjects and establish mutual understanding of project objectives and expectations. If agreement is reached and the project is approved, a project time schedule is established. 

If the factory site is in Southern California, there is no charge for this meeting. If it is outside Southern California, we ask that the potential client to budget for travel expenses. 

To schedule your get acquainted meeting, contact us at
