The Lean Transformation Model

We work according to the Lean Model. The Lean Framework (LTF) is essentially a roadmap for organizations that not only Lean "do Lean ," but also want to truly be Lean. Instead of randomly sprinkling in a few tools (such as 5S or Post-its), this framework offers a holistic approach to bringing about fundamental change in culture and working methods. The LTF is often represented as a house, developed by John Shook and the Lean Institute (LEI).

What our customers say:

We asked LMI to support us with a Value Stream Mapping of our company. They were available at very short notice and delegated two Master Black Belts. The VSM process carried out was extremely successful. LMI's support in this was of eminent importance, because it enabled us to have full focus in a very short time and to arrive at insights through the chain in collaboration. And then to arrive at a shared vision. The LMI Master Black Belts are knowledgeable, experienced, with integrity and flexibility. It was a pleasure to work with them.

Ben Niekerk
Site Manager Tata Steel Tubes

LMI provides training for E.ON for the various Belts, including the Lean Black Belt and Black Belt Lean Six Sigma. They also provide full certifications for our employees and are our sparring partner for various issues. I am very satisfied with the professionalism and flexibility of LMI and also with the thinking along by the LMI consultants. I can highly recommend LMI!

Huibert-Jan den Hartog
VP & Associate Director, E.ON

LMI helps us in our transformation to provide Albert Heijn customers with fresh cut vegetables, fruits, meal salads and fresh pizzas. They provide training, improvement processes (Kaizens) on our product families and practical help on the shop floor. But they have also helped us in our New Product Introduction process, and in setting up new production lines. This has already brought us many benefits: quality has improved, we throw away less good products, and so we also save a lot in our costs. I am happy with the help from the team at LMI: they are hands-on, flexible and help us make really good successes.

Gertjan van Potten
Operations Director Royal Vezet

We have been working with LMI since 2011, and they help us with various issues of interest to our operating companies and our customers. For example, how we can make our homes and apartments cheaper and improve our internal processes. We are very satisfied with our cooperation!
