Full Lean Implementation - Case Study Fast Food Industry Farthing West has recently demonstrated how the power of Lean can significantly improve in-store performance of even the best of the major international fast food chain outlets  ...  And staff and customers recognise the improvement. Inexperienced staff can now be rapidly trained to deliver the best quality products and services thanks to the introduction of high quality Standard Work systems and processes and a battery of highly effective single point lessons, visual management tools and 5S. Heijunka (levelled planning) has taken the guess work out of planning.  At the push of a button management now knows what to cook and when to cook it.  And, KANBAN Cards now make stock management child’s play. Strong emphasis was also given to Jidoka concepts, including the extensive use of Kamishibai (Audit) Cards with the underlying goal of developing ‘worker problem solvers’. The result – productivity, quality and customer service in a happier, calmer environment. Please contact us to find out more!
