Yes, I have been in business for a few years now and it has raised some questions how I can improve my business. I said in the SWOT analysis section marketing is a weakness of mine and some of the feedback has confirmed that I could be much better.

Lean 6 Services - Offering consultancy and training using Lean methodologies as a base. These methods have been around for many many years and we have been using them in our daily lives for years also.

In the early 1900's Henry Ford was party to creating one of the first automated production lines. He was also known for saying, 'You can have your car in any color you wish, as long as it is black'. This resulted in motor car production being less expensive and making cars available to the masses.
