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.

Lean is a way of improving processes. The goal is to help customers as well as possible at the lowest possible effort and cost. Of course, you are a customer yourself and you want to be helped as well as possible, whether in the hospital, in the supermarket or when ordering something online. With Lean you look at how you can deliver your service or product to your customer as smartly as possible, in the shortest possible time. When we talk about Lean, we often talk about the different Lean principles, Lean methods and Lean techniques with which you can improve processes and thus your work.
