News & Events LEAN savings of over £50k identified at He-Man Dual Controls Southampton-based He-Man Dual Controls Ltd. can look forward to some positive results on their balance sheet over the coming year as quantifiable savings of at least £50k have been identified and will be easily achievable following the implementation of Lean training. The need to increase productivity at the plant was recognised back in November 2014 when two employees registered for the Lean Academy training course with Gosport-based Fedden USP. This course is delivered in partnership with MIT Skills and aims to train up LEAN Champions with the skills, knowledge and confidence to make improvements to their own business through a five-day workshop, followed by eight days of mentoring to help participants deliver three improvement projects within their own business. Three projects were quickly identified at He-Man and a Kanban system was introduced to improve process efficiency by preventing parts from running out during the production process.
