Since 2004, we have been helping organizations achieve measurable results with Lean: shorter lead times, lower costs, and higher customer satisfaction. We are the only institute in the Netherlands that is officially affiliated with the Lean Network, the worldwide network of Lean that stems from the work of Lean Jim Womack and Dan Jones.
We start with your specific challenge and Lean as a tool to solve it, whether it involves long lead times, high costs, or low customer satisfaction. Our consultants are full-time employees with 15 to 25 years of practical experience. This means you’ll always be working with the same people, rather than a rotating cast of independent contractors.

The only Lean Lean Network institute in the Netherlands.
Through the Lean Network, you have access to the knowledge and experience of 30 affiliated institutes worldwide. If your organization operates in multiple countries, we’ll bring in local LGN colleagues who work according to the same philosophy.
Consultants with 15 to 25 years of practical experience.
Our trainers are consultants themselves who guide Lean on a daily basis at organizations like yours. They draw on their own practical experience when training, not just theory. We also devote 20 percent of our time to further developing our own materials and services.
Permanent consultants instead of rotating freelancers.
The LMI employs 12 senior consultants on a permanent basis. This ensures continuity: you work with the same people, who are familiar with the organization and the issue at hand.
Publisher of the most important Lean.
