Lean Manufacturing
The standards by which we operate.

By definition, companies that ascribe to Lean Manufacturing have established procedures designed to improve overall performance, productivity, and profitability of their production operations. This multi-faceted commitment affects every element of a business entity, and required commitment to the procedures by every layer of the organization. Lean Manufacturing goes far beyond quality control. It requires a commitment to provide goods and services in a timely manner, and at a fair price as defined by the customer.

Lean Manufacturing:
  • is not "just" the latest corporate fashion concept. It requires a company-wide commitment, and implimenting the process is both costly and time consuming.
  • It is a process that seeks perfection by improving quality and eliminating waste. It is unique in that value and waste, in term and application, are as defined by the client.
Lean Manufacturing:
  • is not about eliminating people;
  • it is about eliminating waste.
Lean Manufacturing:
  • is not a process meant to force customers into a one-size-fits-all box;
  • it is a process meant to expand capacity by shortening production cycles.
As a client, what Unifab's commitment to Lean Manufacturing means to you is:
  • meeting your production schedule and turn-around time;
  • minimizing waste and out-of-compliance parts;
  • reducing your cost by shortening production cycles, and thus creating capacity for more projects;
  • developing and maintaining healthy long-term relationships.
