From time studies to full lean transformations, Originative helps manufacturing plants run safer, faster, and more profitably. Every engagement is led personally by Haleh Byrne — 30+ years in industrial engineering, 500+ projects, authorized Timer Pro trainer.
Training
Hands-on training where your team learns by doing — on your processes, not textbook examples.
Timer Pro Software — Learn to capture, analyze, and document work with the Industry Leading time study tool, taught by an authorized Timer Pro trainer.
5S — Sort, set in order, shine, standardize, sustain: the foundation of an organized, efficient workplace.
DFMEA — Design Failure Mode & Effects Analysis: catch design risks before they ever reach the floor.
PFMEA — Process FMEA: systematically find and reduce failure risk in your manufacturing processes.
Practical Problem Solving with Lean Six Sigma, Level One (Yellow Belt) — A lighter survey-level course for plant operators.
Practical Problem Solving with Lean Six Sigma, Level Two (Green Belt) — Full Six Sigma depth for engineers and technical problem solvers.
Statistical Process Control — Use data to keep processes stable, capable, and in control.
Measurement System Analysis — Make sure your measurements actually Measure
Lean Methodology Basics — The core principles of lean thinking: value, flow, pull, and continuous improvement.
Project Services
Process Documentation — Clear, standardized documentation of how work actually gets done, turning tribal knowledge into repeatable process. The payoff: consistent output across every shift and operator.
Video ; Pictorial Work Instructions — Step-by-step visual instructions built with
Timer Pro, so operators learn faster and make fewer errors. The payoff: shorter training time and fewer defects.
Time Study — Precise, data-driven time studies that establish fair standards and expose hidden waste. The payoff: accurate labor costing and confident staffing decisions.
Layout Improvement — Facility and workstation layouts redesigned around flow, not habit. The payoff: less walking, less handling, more throughput in the same footprint.
Process Simulation — Model the change before you move a single machine. The payoff: test improvements virtually and invest with confidence.
Safety & Ergonomic Assessment — Systematic review of tasks and workstations for injury risk and strain. The payoff: fewer injuries, lower workers comp costs, a healthier workforce.
