Implementing lean practices is a managed process that requires clear leadership, a defined plan, coordination of resources, and robust support systems to assure transformation.

Key deliverables include:
-Understanding the business case for continuous improvement to compete profitably in the global marketplace.
-Understanding of how Lean methods simultaneously reduce lead time and operational costs while improving service and quality.

TMAC offers a unique approach to ISO implementation and registration that is customized to each company’s needs. If you are in the beginning phases of establishing a Quality Management System, TMAC provides a straightforward methodology to develop a quality policy manual, procedures, work instructions, and all required forms/records. Examples and templates are provided as needed. For companies with existing Quality Management Systems, TMAC can perform a Gap Analysis to determine where you are in relation to the standard and a plan to close the gap. TMAC’s process of implementation not only results in a successful registration but also drives continuous improvement within the organization
