Revolutionize Manufacturing Efficiency with Lean Automation Consulting
Our mission is to improve manufacturing environments, making them more efficient, responsive, and cost-effective. By blending the principles of lean manufacturing with strategic automation solutions, we assist in obtaining the knowledge that can lead to enhanced product quality, accelerated time-to-market, and heightened profitability for businesses.
Breakdown of Lean Principles
In this article we discuss 5S, MUDA, MURA, MURI, and the 8 kinds of waste.
What is Lean Manufacturing?
Lean manufacturing is a value-driven approach focused on eliminating waste, improving efficiency, and maximizing productivity across production processes. Grounded in principles such as continuous improvement (Kaizen), waste reduction, and the removal of non-value-added activities—including excess time, motion, and materials—Lean drives meaningful operational gains.
PMC applies proven Lean tools like value stream mapping, 5S, standard work, and takt time analysis to identify inefficiencies and implement sustainable improvements. Beyond analysis, PMC engineers practical solutions that streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve throughput—delivering measurable results that last.
What is Automation?
Automation is the use of technology and machinery to perform tasks with minimal human intervention. In manufacturing, this includes systems such as robotics, computer numerical control (CNC) machines, automated conveyors, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Automation not only increases speed and accuracy but also reduces labor costs, minimizes errors, and improves workplace safety.
PMC analyzes workflows, evaluates cost-benefit scenarios, and develops automation solutions that align with production goals. With deep expertise in industrial engineering and process optimization, PMC ensures that automation delivers long-term efficiency and measurable ROI.
