Lean Systems Consulting LLC was created to educate professionals in implementing and sustaining Lean Systems or more commonly known as Lean Manufacturing. The technique was invented by Toyota in the 1950’s and introduced to the US in 1988.  Toyota named their managerial system as the Toyota production System, which was based on two pillars, “total elimination of waste” and “respect for the employees.” Today, it is common to see Lean initiatives in place of continuous improvement programs, and most job descriptions require some form of Lean education and training. While the demand for Lean skills and training continues to be high, the success rate for most companies is low despite 20 years of continued development.

We believe the fundamental problem in lean implementation is:
1. Lean Manufacturing is a multi-disciplinary field (which Industrial Engineering and Organizational Development) regularly do not overlap in job functions or career paths. 
2. Lean Manufacturing implementation requires systems knowledge to adapt and grow, and one "system thinker" in the organization isn't enough to build decision-making frameworks.
