Our Areas of Expertise

Total Flow has pioneered the application of lean principles to a product development environment, and we’re now fully equipped to ensure that your manufacturing operations move forwards, never back.

The pressure to continuously innovate and ensure reliability and quality while hitting target product and process costs can seem overwhelming and contradictory. However, the application of lean principles and a structured approach to new product development and introduction can create a powerful engine to drive the product development factory.

Total Flow believes in changing the culture of the design factory by aligning behaviour to a fast clock cycle. By combining standard work and standard management, any disruption to the plan is immediately flagged and corrected. We are experts at transforming the product development factory so that products are designed to standard, on time, and at target cost.

The result is a liberated design community that embraces the principles of lean in a manner that respects the unique nature of a product development environment.

Total Flow can achieve this because we’re not just a lean manufacturing consultancy attempting to tackle the product development factory. Instead, we are a lean enterprise consultancy that has transformed research and development activities, new product development centres, and manufacturing systems designs – as well as manufacturing plants. 

We can ensure that value flows throughout the enterprise from concept initiation through end of life, without the disconnects and setbacks of a discontinuous system of conflicting or incompatible approaches. 

Our product and process design and development teams will help you achieve these goals, and then sustain them throughout your business.
