The Answer.... Lean Leadership
Lean is a business strategy that strives to provide exactly what your customers and clients want, when they want it, with as little waste as possible. Based on the fundamentals of the Toyota Production System (TPS), it's an approach focused on continuous observation and problem solving.

Lean is often known as “lean manufacturing” because of the widely known Toyota Production System. There are millions of success stories of its application within industrial, commercial, and institutional organizations.

However, lean thinking and culture is being embraced by a wide range of organizations and industries such as:

* Non-profit organizations
* Health care and hospitals
* Social services and community support programs
* Academia
* Government
* Food industries
* Hospitality
* Energy Industries

There is no "cookie-cutter" approach; each organization is unique. Lean embraces the intimate knowledge of each organization. Through utilizing your people, you will improve your processes significantly and develop your leadership's capability.

Why LPS Inc.
We are a business transformation company. Many management consultants simply use a set of tools from a Lean toolbox and then expect the results to follow. LPS inc. is different because we help shape your organization's culture, apply improvements to specifically defined needs, and work through developing people capability. We have a LEAN SENSEI, Erik Hager, and we use THE THINKING WAY. This system is what everyone talks about but rarely use, effectively. We use this system to capture the inherent knowledge of your people while training them to become problem solving experts.

About Us
LPS Inc helps organizations become more efficient and effective in what they do. Following a model of Japanese leadership success, the most prominent story being Toyota, we work to instill a “Kaizen” culture within our client's organization and the community around us.

What is Kaizen?
The word "Kaizen" is the Japanese term for Continuous Improvement. We teach people how to embrace a culture dedicated towards continuous improvement through vigilant problem solving. This problem solving approach provides stability and structure in processes, people, and culture.

How We Do Work
Working directly with our client’s vision, we provide the scope of how our client's organization needs to operate in order to be successful. Guidance and support is always provided through careful analysis of the client's needs. Curriculum is developed and learning happens, on-the-job as well as in the classroom. While working directly with people who "do the work" as well as their leadership, LPSinc provides solutions that focus on Safety, Morale, Quality, Delivery, Cost, and Environment.

Creating "problem solvers" instead of "creating product" leaves the door open for constant positive change, which improves each organization we work with.

Home Contact LPS Inc. About Erik About Don About Jim About Rosemarie About Adeel About Rishi About GECS

"Erik Hager lives in Canada and is a former Toyota employee. He worked at the Toyota Plant in Cambridge and taught at the TSSC. He was also mentored by the lean gurus in Japan. I met him while I was still with Ford Motor Co.

He is a down to earth, factory guy who relates extremely well to people. We have engaged Erik in our factories and distribution centers over the last 4 years.

We have tried other former Toyota people based on recommendations from other Philips organizations. None of the others were particularly effective. Erik is the exception."
