"Greg has been supporting our lean transformation at our higher volume pump plants as well as Parker's build to order operations. As an experienced lean hand myself I can attest to his in-depth knowledge and experience combined with his hands-on approach have had a significant impact on our cost reductions."

“Our model (prototype) shops require a “make to order” style improvement methodology, different from the ongoing “continuous improvement” methods being utilized in our production areas. Greg’s style, experience and ability to adapt the lean principals, were found to be just what our worldwide team required.”

"We specialize in the engineering and manufacturing of Data Communications Cables, Special Assemblies and Harnesses, therefore we build to order in the most efficient manner possible. After learning about lean in the traditional sense, Low Volume Lean along with Greg's background and experience were instrumental in helping us refine our lean strategy."
Paul Nelson
President
Data Cable Incorporated, Orangeville, ON Canada

"As an independent engineering and testing lab, providing a wide range of dynamic, environmental, electronic testing, implementing lean from a manufacturing approach was not possible. We found the Low Volume Lean approach along with Greg Lane's support, knowledge and style to be a perfect combination to identify savings and develop a sound implementation strategy."
William M. Bradshaw
Vice President
Dayton T. Brown Engineering & Test Division, Bohemia, N.Y.
"As part of Parker-Hannifin we design and manufacture complex hydraulic systems for defense and industrial applications. We have worked not only to continuously improve our manufacturing but also our defense engineering and other administrative departments. Greg Lane has been supporting our lean implementation for approximately four years and we have found his support and experience with specialized designers & manufacturers like us, not only valuable in cost savings for the manufacturing areas but our engineering and administrative departments have also experienced substantial benefits."
Keith Pugh

"During a week-long series of workshops, public speaking engagements and site visits involving over 100 companies that are working to implement lean in their high mix / low variation and job-shop environments, the feedback on Greg's unique skills, knowledge and style was overwhelmingly positive.”

"We provide a high variety of material handling solutions, some are standard units while others are designed and built to order. As we began embracing lean methods we found that Greg and the Low Volume Lean methodology fit our business and have helped us as we continually look to improve all business sectors. Their help in identifying processes for improvement and providing a sound methodology led us to real cost improvements and leadtime reductions.
Daniel L. Carmody

"When Greg addresses a group of managers, it's as if he is directly in your position dealing with the same issues you face. Therefore many of the practical solutions he offered were spot-on with what we require!  He has outstanding energy that is inspiring, validating and definitely not hype."
