Crystal Clear Concepts

When Crystal Clear Concepts was founded, in 1990, we specialized in training most of the soft skills like leadership, communications, management and HR issues like preventing sexual harassment and workplace violence. However, because we were results driven, we added programs that addressed client needs in solving their problems. It became evident that several areas were underserved. The first was in the area of Process Control, more popularly known as Lean Manufacturing or the Toyota production system. The concepts would soon be adopted for everything from organizing your kitchen or garage to eliminating waste in your process for producing a physical product or providing a competitive service. While these concepts have been, loosely adapted, by many organizations they have not always been embraced in a way that produces bottom line results. Part of the reason is there are a number of compatible skills needed to make Lean successful. First, in order for get an organization to embrace Lean concepts employees need to understand the tools of Lean and how they will make their job more efficient and productive. More importantly, you can’t do Lean to employees, you must do it with employees. It’s absolutely essential for buy-in to implement Lean through cross-functional teams. Because the use of data is so important in making decisions, team members must understand how to use a problem solving model in evaluating and implementing solutions to problems.

If you are looking to use Lean and or Six Sigma in your organization, we can develop a program taylored to your goals and objectives to ensure success.
