Expertise and tools
The success of Lean Manufacturing bases on a simple observation: a daily commitment is essential to obtain sustainable results. 
Muda (wastings): any activity which consumes resources without adding of value for the client. Toyota also speaks of "mura" (irregularity) and " muri " (difficulty).
But Lean Key applies to detect also two other less evident wastings: the unused operators intelligence, and to imagine problems which do not exist. Our peculiarity, we go farther that the search of seven traditional muda, and to deal simultaneously with nine sorts of wasting.
Les 5 S japonais définissent l'art de bien gérer sa maison : seiri (le tri), seiton (ranger), seiso (nettoyer), seiketsu (standardiser) et shitsuke (être discipliné) sont les clés d'un véritable management visuel permettant de stabiliser les processus, de poursuivre l'amélioration et de motiver le personnel. Lean Key vous propose un conseil 5S amélioré : au-delà de la quête de l'excellence sur le lieu de travail, nous remontons aux sources du désordre, et mettons en place des systèmes d'amélioration continue de la netteté dans votre espace de production.
The advice Lean Key bases on Value Stream Mapping, i.e. the analysis of the material and information flows, the Toyota tool of cartography which allows to add the information flows to the classic cartographies of movement of pieces, and so to think about the constitution of stocks beyond the questions of bottleneck.
Our methodology includes kanban, material information systems decentralized on the basis of the reconstruction of the continuous stocks.
To optimize the traceability, reduce stocks and delivery periods, Lean Key restructures your management of the logistic chain or Supply Chain Management, by basing on the present information of production capacity in the information system of the company to place automatically form orders. So, your organization harmonizes its goods flows, its financial flows and its information flows, received as a global process.
For more coherence in your system, Lean Key applies Heijunka, or the smoothing of the production, i.e. the sequential planning of the work determined by the average demand of all the referenced articles.
It consists of smoothing on one hand the real demand of the client so that the day of production of tomorrow is the closest of this day and, on the other hand, to mix the volumes of production until one piece flow sequence on the production line

Lean Key intervenes at the gemba level (the real place), the place where the profession value of the company is created. Every member of the team is considered as cog of the system, so that he knows permanently what he has to do and when. It is our autonomy implementation for each actors of the value creation which confers on Lean Key its capacity to imply the human resources in the heart of the mission of production
The improvement of the processes, such as we conceive it, includes the SMED (Single Times Exchange of Die), the method finalized by Shigeo Shingo with Toyota to reduce times of tool changeovers. This technique allows Lean Key to rationalize all your operations to reduce time of change without immediate investment. It is also to improve the flexibility of your process
