Lean ISO Management Systems
We help businesses innovate ISO management systems
According to the Lean Enterprise Research Centre, sixty percent of production activities in a typical manufacturing operation are waste.
The same, if not more, is in the ISO management systems documentation. We surveyed eighty-three management and supervisory personnel in seven companies in the manufacturing industry. The results were staggering. Almost all the folks interviewed thought their procedures were too long. Two-thirds felt that documents were too wordy and poorly written. Some half of the asked believed their procedures were too complicated and contained duplicate information.

The Solution is Lean ISO Management System!
The objective of the Lean philosophy is the elimination of waste in processes. Countless examples of Lean tools in manufacturing showed an increase in productivity and significant cost reduction. While more and more businesses switch to Lean practices in manufacturing every day, very few, if any, apply Lean to their management systems.
Lean management systems allow businesses to reduce time and save money on:
- Development of procedures,
- Review and approval of documents,
- Administration of change,
- Training against management system documents.
Companies may apply Lean tools to any ISO Management System Standard, such as ISO 9001, ISO 13485, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and others.
Lean ISO Management System:
Cost Savings Example
Lean management systems and Lean documentation offer numerous avenues for reduction of costs and increase of productivity. The most straightforward process to quantify savings with a Lean ISO management system is training. This video shows how a mid-sized business can save annually 100, 200, 300 thousand dollars or more using Lean ISO management system documentation.
