When LEAN meets Tech
What Happens When LEAN Meets Technology?
LEAN principles and digital tools are a match made in heaven, and their combination has the potential to revolutionise how businesses run their processes. But what does this look like in practice?
Automating Routine Tasks:
A key LEAN goal is to eliminate non-value-added activities, and automation can be a game-changer here. By automating repetitive tasks like data entry, materials handling, or even quality inspections, you free up employees to focus on high-value tasks.
In our work we have seen this in practice with robotic systems, handeling repetitive tasks like carton erection, pallet stacking and transporting products.
A new addition to our office is the Elgato streamdeck - designed to automate repetitive tasks that take place on the computer. Imagine pressing one button on this device and having all your invoices for the month created and sent!
Integrating LEAN methodologies with today’s cutting-edge technologies can deliver real-world results that improve your end deliverables.
