Our Approach

Guaranteed Results
LI Europe believes that the right approach is “what actually works“, which requires understanding the differences between businesses and not a philosophical belief that one approach can be right for everyone.  As an example, Lean is a great approach, but it was developed in Automotive where product giveaway is not an issue – if raw material cost is over 30% of your product cost, and average weight legislation applies to you, it would be wrong to apply Lean unthinkingly and forget about giveaway.  This applies to many aspects of improvement, and understanding the right approach for an individual factory makes all the difference to a successful outcome.  Our collective experience has enabled us to determine what is right and what is wrong, and so put an up front guarantee on the results that will ensue.

Operator

Before LI came we were a family run company and things had been done the same way for a hundred years. There was a lot of apprehension but the LI team had such a great way with people they won us over. People took to them. LI were great for our company and the systems they introduced are still in place.
