Site Assessment: More Than a Lean Manufacturing Tool or KPI Measurement Tools

To determine the opportunity that exists in a plant or business, Hagen performs a site assessment. During this engagement, Hagen reviews the plant’s current operating performance and then determines its true profit potential.  Typically, as a part of the assessment, Hagen will tackle one or two of the plant’s long standing problems that have prevented performance improvement in a critical area. This exercise goes beyond the use of a Lean Manufacturing tool or KPI measurement tools.  It shows the unique aspects of the Hagen Methodology and its applicability for solving any problem. The assessment also generates financial benefits that offset its cost.

Site assessments typically take one to two weeks per plant, depending on the size and complexity of the business.  Upon completion, Hagen will provide:

• Proof of the amount of money that can be saved
• Proof that the money can be saved
• Proof that you do not need capital to vastly increase performance
• Proof of where to start
• Proof that you can create an enduring competitive advantage
• Proof that these improvements are not currently being performed
