Lean Tech AS helps manufacturing companies become more competitive by increasing customer satisfaction, reduce cost and improve efficiency, while contributing to a sustainable environment. The business idea is to combine process knowledge with statistics / analytics and local knowledge provided by the shop floor to improve. Lean Tech use Lean Six Sigma tools to create measurable results for the customer, and provide services within the following areas; - Reducing raw material consumption by reducing shrinkage, waste and scrap, optimize production processes and improve production procedures - Mapping and benchmarking energy consumption (consumption per machine, equipment, products, etc.) to identify and improve energy-intensive processes - Improve product quality by understanding process variation and use statistical process control (SPC) to control critical factors. - Increase productivity by improving production flow (reducing waste) and increase machine efficiency (OEE) - Emission control and establishing monitoring program - Determine measurement error and improve measurement systems (MSA) - Design of experiment (DOE) and Components of Variation (CoV) to efficient develop new products or improve existing ones - Cost-benefit calculations - Root cause analysis and problem solving - Predictive maintenance by using Statistical Process Control - SPC Lean Tech provides courses and training within Lean and Six Sigma. The training focuses on finding practical examples and adjusting the training to fit the participants and their company's need. You can train for belt certification or you can learn a tool you are interested in (example: project selection, process mapping (VSM, SIPOC, X-Y diagram, Swimlane, Spagetti), lean tools, statistical process control (SPC), measurement system analysis (MSA), capability analysis, hypothesis testing, rootcause analysis, multi-vari analysis, design of experiement (DOE) For more info, see www.leantech.no

TINE SA is the largest dairy company in Norway with 5,500 employees, owned by 15,000 dairy farmers (cow and goat). TINE SA decided in 2011 to participate in SFI Norman (www.sfinorman.com), a research project ongoing through 2014 with a focus on increasing Norwegian manufacturing competitiveness. Altogether 15 Norwegian manufacturing companies (representing automotive, boat, aircraft, electrical, defense industry, furniture and clothing manufacturing) participate together with the research institutes SINTEF and NTNU. Sissel brought new ideas and knowledge from SFI Norman to Tine, built network with the other partners and coordinated TINE's efforts in the project. In 2012, Sissel performed a survey and analysis of production at a Tine Dairy together with SINTEF. The focus was increasing productivity, by analyzing capacity resources and machine effectiveness (OEE). In 2013 Sissel worked at a Tine Dairy, conducting a value stream analysis (VSA) focusing on reducing waste of raw materials (see link to publication). She also performed multivariate analysis to reveal critical factors for product quality, and categorized root causes of deviations to get an overview of the most frequent and causalities.
Axis-Shield, now Abbott, develop and manufacture tests for medical diagnosis. The tests are developed for cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and infectious diseases. As process development engineer Sissel managed the following projects: • Quality control of data acquisition (including problem solving) • design and development of HMI systems (both existing and new production lines) • implementation of online Statistical Process Control (SPC) and KPI's like OEE in order to increase productivity (see attached OEE article) • statistics and reporting tools for manufacturing Sissel designed experiments (DOE) and analyzed results in order to improve existing products and developing new ones. She trained colleagues in Six Sigma and use of JMP for building Control charts, using Statistical Process Control and performing variation studies (CoV). The production involves advanced technology with ultrasonic welding, UV curing and camera controls for Automatic Optical inspection (AIO). Several machines are assembling the complete product, and Sissel did a buffer capacity analysis to determine the effect of increased buffer between machines.
Cambi AS is a supplier of process equipment for the treatment of sludge from municipal and industrial wastewater and plants for the treatment of organic waste. They use a thermal hydrolysis process which they have patented. Steam, gas and energy recovery are key elements of their technology. Their technology is considered BAT of leading customers, and Cambi AS has received several awards (both national and international) for their environmental technology. Sissel worked half a year in marketing before she was terminated due to financial difficulties. Her job at the marketing department of Cambi AS was to provide process technical support in marketing. This involved the preparation of tenders, process analysis, technical design of process plants, pulp and energy calculations and energy optimization. 5 years later she began at Cambi again, this time as a project engineer in the project department. Cambi had received a contract for 170 million NOK to build a high-tech plant for organic waste and sludge in Verdalen. The plant receives sludge and food waste from mid-Norway (Nordland and Nord-Trøndelag). Sissel designed process equipment (including steam boiler, cooling systems, compressors, pre-treatment equipment and biogas treatment equipment) for the Verdal plant. She performed the design- mass and energy calculations, drawing of P & ID 's, and close dialog with vendors of technical equipment.
