Success stories with Lean
Success stories of our client
Here are few messages of our happy client based on their interviews.
Hassan Omar - CEO of Ducab
"Five years ago, I met Sam and Deborah Salimi of the Lean Gulf Institute at a conference and they told me about lean thinking. I was immediately struck by the simplicity of its message and by how it speaks to the non-technical. You don’t have to be an expert in statistics, or in manufacturing, to think lean – we finally had an approach that could be used by everybody in every department, not just by certified people working on the production floor."
Ronald Uchil - VP of Corporate Excellence and HR, Gerab National Enterprises
"Our first step towards becoming a leaner organization was implementing 5S in our Operations department, which made our processes significantly smoother. We soon realized that if we wanted to make progress in our implementation of lean across Gerab, we’d need to have trained people who could teach their colleagues lean principles and techniques. This resulted in the launch of the GNE’s Lean Academy, which we ran in partnership with the Lean Gulf Institute."
Monga T. Krishen - Senior Project Engineering Manager, NPCC
"We started in February 2016 with a workshop for management and the implementation team, which mainly focused on the hands-on explanation of lean principles. This was followed by a workshop for managers across the business, introducing lean concepts and techniques such as VSM. We now have 35 people who have been introduced to lean principles and are now well equipped to spread the word across the different areas of the business."
Kareem Farah, CEO of ECC
“Lean Principles help identify which inefficient processes are hindering project delivery and creating needless waste. On average, waste accounts for 57% of a construction crew’s time, which heavily affects delivery and budgets. Companies in the market are generally not as efficient as they once were. We are investigating new methods to improve our own processes to provide a significant advantage.
Lean Principles create progressive work environments and, when implemented, facilitate continual improvements by reducing non-value-added costs. By concentrating on process improvement rather than cost reduction, project control virtualization rather than reports and empowering and respect of employees, the transformational change resulted in increasing value to client and reduction of non-value-added costs and waste.
ECC is among the first companies in the UAE to implement the principles, with the contracting firm establishing a new industry benchmark across the region."
