Frequently asked questions

Does Lean work in ports and terminals?

Yes. Gate, yard and vessel operations are flows of containers, trucks and documents, so Lean and Six Sigma reduce waiting, rework and variation in the same way as in a factory.

Do you have hands-on port experience?

Yes. Our founder led process excellence at a container terminal operation and has supported logistics providers and port operators for many years.

Can you work with our IT and TOS teams?

Yes. We combine Lean with digital tools, so changes in planning and monitoring systems support the improved process.
