Lean Manufacturing Services

Lean Manufacturing:
Quality and Operations

Our methodology focuses on identifying and eliminating process-related waste points, with the goal of improving customer satisfaction and increasing profitability. Through the implementation of Lean tools, we analyse and improve every stage of production to minimize failures, reduce costs, and optimize key service indicators.

At Quality&Operations, we know that the poor-quality associated costs are one of the biggest sources of inefficiency in companies. That’s why we optimize processes to reduce scrap (non-value-added waste), process defects, and the number of complaints, ensuring a significant improvement in quality indexes.

Our key results include:

We reduce and eliminate process failure modes and improve quality at production.

We minimize customer complaints through proactive quality management.

Key Process Indicator like Process  PPM´s or First Pass Yield Optimization, as well as customer satisfaction, driving operational efficiency.

How do we do it?

With our comprehensive approach, your company not only improves quality, but also increases its competitiveness by reducing the costs associated with poor quality:

By applying proven Lean tools, we optimize any process stage of any activity’s to maximize the value flow and minimize inefficiencies.

VSM – 5’S – SMED – TPM – MUDA – TWI – ANDON / POKA YOKE – KANBAN – VISUAL MANAGEMENT

Moreover, It creates a continuous improvement culture that boost long-term productivity.

Benefits of Lean methodologies implementation:

We optimize the use of time, resources, and energy, resulting in reduced operating costs.

We identify and eliminate activities that do not add value, such as overproduction, waiting times, and defects.

We increase profitability improving process flow, making them more agile and less expensive.

How do we do it?

We guarantee a positive and sustainable impact on your production processes, boosting your company to achieve operational excellence:

Through the integration of advanced tools and monitoring systems, we facilitate early identification of process deviations, enabling agile, well-informed decision-making tailored to market demands.

Benefits of our management systems:

We improve process performance across all operational areas, maximizing resource utilization.

We ensure compliance with rigorous standards, maintaining high levels of safety and quality while optimizing costs and delivery times.

We enable more effective management through access to accurate, real-time data that allows for a quick response to any deviation.

We foster the creation of an environment where all members of the organization are engaged in the ongoing improvement process.

How do we do it?

We support companies to optimize their operations and establish the foundations for sustained growth through efficient and lean management:

We offer a comprehensive approach that ensures tangible improvement in organizational performance, contributing to the achievement of high standards and long-term value creation. This approach is materialized through:

Alignment with ISO 9001:2025; IATF 16949:2016, and ISO 14001:2015 standards enable companies to meet the highest quality standards and sustainability.

Projects / Interim Management

Expert leadership to transform operations

At key moments of change and growth, having the right leadership makes all the difference. Quality&Operations’s Interim Management service provides strategic expertise and specialized leadership to manage restructuring, the implementation of production projects (APQP), and supplier development. It’s a flexible and efficient solution for companies seeking immediate results without compromising their long-term structure.
  • Interim Management
    for Plant Restructuring
  • Optimizing the structure and performance of a plant demands specialized leadership and strategic management. At Quality&Operations, we offer an Interim Management service designed to boost operational efficiency through two key approaches:

    Imagine having an Operations Director, a Quality Manager, and a Continuous Improvement Facilitator implementing contracted projects on-site, while training the teams directly in the plant. That is exactly what we deliver to our clients: effective implementation and immediate impact on the organization.

    Detailed analysis of manufacturing plants, technical areas, and departments to detect inefficiencies, proposing strategic restructurings. These actions allow to improve process efficiency, resource optimization, cost reduction, and increase production capacity.

  • Project Management
    – APQP
  • Success in the industrialization of new products and process optimization depends on effective and structured management. Our comprehensive project management and APQP service (Advanced Product Quality Planning) ensures compliance with technical requirements, process optimization, and risk mitigation at every stage of production.

    We define the most efficient layout, manage the installation and commissioning of machinery and tooling, and guarantee an optimized production process from the outset.

    We manage the submission of first sample approval documentation (PPAP), ensuring compliance with the standards required by clients and regulatory bodies.

    We ensure structured planning and rigorous control at every stage of the industrialization process:

  • Supplier Quality Development
  • Optimizing supplier quality is essential to ensure an efficient and a seamless supply chain. Part of our work involves the ongoing evaluation and monitoring of strategic suppliers to minimize rejections and maximize their performance.

  • Training and Development
    in Operational Management
  • Continuous training is key to boosting efficiency and improvement in industrial processes. At Quality&Operations, we collaborate with various institutions as specialized trainers, providing practical and applicable knowledge for the production environment.
