About Mining Networks

Your organization is guided by lean principles, invests in people and lean practices, and deploys tools that help identify and reduce wasteful activities while increasing customer value. Your plant has smoothed out uneven production flows, converted to cellular operations, moved to smaller batches, transformed the culture, and so on. Your technical or business services group has incorporated similar lean principles to improve performance.

Despite doing all of the right things, management is disappointed that the return on investment in equipment, technology, and people has not produced the expected contributions to the bottom line – that the investment threshold did not warrant the benefits. What happened?

Making a move to ‘lean thinking’ creates an entirely new attitude throughout the entire organization. It will result in numerous positive impacts and create a feeling of ‘let’s not stop there’.

Continuous Improvement challenges the status quo and asking the question, ‘is there a better way’. In other words, reaching for perfection.

With proven systems and routines, our Operational Support team will streamline the process and improve your chance of success.

Continuous optimization involves a slightly different yet wholly complementary way of thinking. It is a method of making operations as fully effective or functional as possible. The definition of “effectiveness” is not arbitrary but comes directly from the organization’s business objectives.

Whereas continuous improvement asks, “how can it be made better,” continuous optimization asks “how do we make it most effective within its larger operational and business context.” The senior management team frankly does not care if you make the process better. They are concerned with identifying the most effective path for transforming operations to better serve customers while achieving the business objectives. Thus, you must do it all.

We help companies achieve their dreams by enabling them to effectively meet short term goals while at the same time helping them build the competencies and capabilities to fulfill their long term company vision. By helping companies unlock the potential inherently present within and outside of their organization, we help foster their bottom line and promote growth.

A successful transformation involves a continual series of small innovations, each building on the concepts that worked before. As you raise the bar a bit each day, your organization shifts much more easily and effectively than it would if you set up a grand dramatic scheme for demanding behavior change across the enterprise.

Our experience and credibility in the industry allow us to respond on time and in a professional manner at every level of the organization.
