Encompass helps identify and eliminate losses that result from changes in demand. Sometimes customer needs change, or a company decides to add new production lines that require additional work. Other times, waste resulting from having to do too much can take time to move from old tasks to new ones. In addition, waste may be the result of processes that do no good. While some activities may add value, some processes add no value. A lean consultant helps track and monitor processes that respond to fluctuations in demand, minimize necessary waste, and at the same time work to eliminate unnecessary waste.
