Project Types
Ramboll Management Consulting assists both public and private organisations in implementing Lean within the areas of service, administration, production, etc. We carry out pilot projects to demonstrate the applications of Lean, and organise Lean roll-outs in entire organisations as well. The time frame for the projects may vary from short demonstration projects to long-term processes involving employee training, advising an organisation’s Lean managers, process optimisation and maintenance of new work methods.
In addition, we gladly give presentations at management seminars and workshops to clarify the applications and challenges of Lean in administration, service and production.
Methods
The client is in focus in Lean management. This also applies to our projects which are always tailored to meet individual client needs. We work with effective Lean tools such as value stream analysis, A3 reports and Kaizen events. The application of these tools is adapted to client requests and expectations to effects, internal training, weighting of cultural changes and demands for pace of these changes.
Effects
We find that most organisations can achieve significant gains by implementing Lean. In our experience, we find that Lean management projects have often been able to cut case-handling time in half, only two months after project start. Another example is a 33% reduction of the hours spent on a type of assignment within the first week after project start-up.
Regardless of whether we work with Lean management in administration, service or production, Lean contributes to:
- Increased focus on the client
- Shorter production lead times and often reduction by half in case-handling time
- More effective utilisation of resources and improved efficiency
- Less stress and increased job satisfaction
- Improved and more efficient IT systems
