The Lean Factory Group is an association of some of America’s leading Lean Manufacturing product and service providers, including Bosch Rexroth, Orgatex, Leonardo Group Americas and Automation Controls. The Lean Manufacturing method has become accepted as the proven path to competitive excellence, in any industry and for any product. The companies of the Lean Factory Group have been trusted partners in this Lean transformation since the early 1990’s, and have worked closely with many of the world’s leading companies for training, consulting and physical factory conversions.
The mission of the Lean Factory Group is to promote successful Lean transformations through an event called the Lean Roadshow. These educational sessions demonstrate the importance of a data-driven approach to line design, the need to create an environment that supports Lean with the right equipment and infrastructure, and the tools to create a Visual Factory. Participants witness the step-by-step creation of the perfect Lean production environment, culminating in an actual build demonstration on an optimum Lean line.
