Welcome to
Applied Lean Consulting
We take Lean principles derived from Manufacturing and apply them across all industry sectors:
- Manufacturing
- Service
- Administration
LEAN is a universal concept!
Lean is a tools and management system that provides:
- What customers need
- When they need it
- In the quantity they need it
- In the right sequence
- Without defects
- At lowest possible cost
business recovery planning
now is the time to start planning your way back from covid-19
Remote working initiative – Zoom drop-in
The current business restrictions aren’t going to last forever and once the crisis passes there will be significant opportunities for all businesses that plan ahead.
However, given the current concerns with holding face to face meetings, ALC is pleased to announce an innovative service using the Zoom video conferencing facility; a free of charge, no-obligation, 15 minute consultation of your business.
Discuss your Lead Time, OTIF (on time, in full) rate of fulfilment, Work in Progress, Stock turn and quality metrics (customer complaints and non-conformance check failures).
We’ll discuss with you the barriers to growth – to link back to customer requirements and what your customer is willing to pay for when they enlist your services.
Identify and prioritise strategic priorities for the growth of your business, particularly once we emerge from the current crisis.
See the Latest News section in the MK Chamber of Commerce.

Managers
Managers spend most of their time firefighting: fixing problems and reacting to crises
Employees
Employees can’t see the link between their daily tasks and the organisation’s strategic goals
Work Practices
Work practices vary across individuals and groups
Quality
Delays or quality deficiencies are hidden and easily missed
Time
Widespread frustration within the company at how long tasks take
Feedback
Feedback from customers shows poor and variable levels of service
Focus
There is a lack of customer focus and no clear idea of what customers are looking for
Stress
Employees feel stressed, with high rates of sickness and absenteeism
Culture
‘Witch hunts’, finger pointing and a blame culture are endemic. Staff aren’t encouraged to speak up about impending problems
