What is lean methodology?
Based on the Toyota Production System, lean is a problem-solving production system based on achieving the complete elimination of all waste in pursuit of the most efficient methods. At LJ OKeefe Inc, we can apply it to almost any process, industry, or business to achieve continuous improvement, higher profits, and more productive operational methods.
our approach
What makes LJ OKeefe's lean consultants different
​​​
​
Deep Subject Matter Expertise. Our strategies are backed by over 35 years of experience facilitating lean transformations for a wide variety of industries, business sizes, and process challenges. Unlike in popular mainstream "lean certification" programs, mastering true lean methodology from the source at Toyota cannot be accomplished in a 45-day online program.
​
​
Long-Lasting Partnerships. Unlike other consultants who get in, promise fast results, and get out without creating sustainable behavioral change, LJ OKeefe has your business’s unique needs in mind and provides customized solutions, empowering our clients in the process.
​
​
Supportive and Hands-On Coaching. LJ OKeefe is more than an outsourced consultant; we are your strategic partner and are heavily invested in the success of your business.
​
​
A Consistent and Collaborative Approach. We work closely with people at all levels in your organization and provide full transparency in our identification, analysis, and solution processes for inefficiencies, waste, and challenges.
​
​
No matter your industry or size, every business has room for immense improvement in cost, quality, delivery, safety, and morale. We believe businesses can do more with less, and we help you understand the gap between how your business currently operates and its ideal state.
