Lean Tech Solutions provides focused, site-level operational consulting that aims to stabilize production, lower variation, and improve throughput. Work emphasizes practical steps, measurable results, and collaboration with onsite teams to create lasting capability.
Every engagement begins with a fact-finding assessment. That includes a structured walkthrough, interviews with supervisors and operators, data review, and targeted time studies where relevant. The objective is to build a clear baseline: cycle time, scrap rates, changeover duration, and the sources of variability that most affect daily output.
Findings are organized into a prioritized plan with clear deliverables, responsibility assignments, and measurable targets. Projects are sequenced so early wins are visible and momentum is maintained while the more complex issues are resolved.
Interventions are selected for their immediacy of impact and for compatibility with the client’s operational constraints and staffing model.
Typical engagements follow a clear timeline:
This timeline is an example; specific scheduling is adjusted to match client needs and facility availability.
Progress is tracked with straightforward metrics selected during the assessment. Common indicators include throughput per shift, yield at first pass, average cycle time, and mean time between stoppages. Results are reported in short dashboards and a closing report that documents the before and after state, interventions delivered, and recommended ongoing control measures.
The reporting package typically includes a one-page executive summary and a set of operator-level tools such as standard work sheets, checklists, and a simple monitoring board layout.
A small assembly facility in the region reduced average order lead time by 28% and cut rework by nearly half following a six-week engagement. The work combined layout changes, simple mistake-proofing at two stations, and a short training program for line supervisors. Benefits were achieved without new capital equipment and were sustained through a weekly review routine handed over to the client.
Pricing is set to reflect scope and duration. Options include a fixed-cost site assessment, day-rate engagements for implementation support, and retainer arrangements for ongoing operational coaching. The goal in every arrangement is clear deliverables and traceable outcomes so clients can evaluate return on investment.
Clients are encouraged to request a written estimate after the initial assessment so that responsibilities and costs are fully transparent before work begins.
Q: Will improvements require new equipment?
A: Most engagements emphasize process and organization changes. New equipment is rarely necessary for initial gains; often changes in flow, control, or work content provide measurable benefit.
Q: How long before we see results?
A: Some changes produce measurable improvement in days; more complex stability work may take several weeks. The assessment identifies near-term opportunities that can be addressed quickly and larger items that require phased work.
Q: Do you provide training?
A: Yes. Operator-level training and supervisory coaching are part of most implementation plans to ensure changes are sustained.
As a local provider based nearby, we can support on-site work in Pawcatuck and the surrounding towns. That local availability typically reduces travel costs and allows more frequent short visits during critical implementation phases.

Before the on-site assessment, assembling a handful of practical items speeds the process: recent production logs or daily output sheets; a basic list of frequent quality issues or complaint records; typical staffing patterns by shift; and a short list of priority products or services where improved predictability would have immediate customer impact. These documents allow the assessment team to focus fieldwork on the actual operational constraints rather than administrative questions.
Long-term value depends on sustaining gains. To support that, we provide a simple sustainment plan that includes daily checks, a weekly review meeting format, and a list of early warning indicators. The plan also sets out who is responsible for each control and how to escalate when a threshold is exceeded. These steps reduce the chance of backsliding and make continued improvement routine rather than episodic.
Where clients want an ongoing improvement capability, we can help establish a small internal team and a cadence of short improvement cycles that keep the organization moving forward without large outside intervention.
Local consultants are able to provide more frequent short visits and quicker response when issues arise during implementation. Familiarity with regional supply chains and labor markets can also inform pragmatic solutions that align with the local operating context. Our team balances external perspective with practical, on-the-ground adjustments that are realistic for smaller operations.
