What LEAN can do
By teaching your employees to work more efficiently, LEAN saves you money while improving employee productivity, morale and quality of work. Here’s how eliminating the waste from an average workday can boost your bottom line.
An average 8-hour workday
More than 2 hours lost to non-value added activities
- 20 minutes preparing to start work
- 15 minutes looking for tools and supplies
- 30 minutes retracing steps
- 15 minutes lost due to complexity of work
- 25 minutes lost to rework loops
- 20 minutes winding down and putting things away
LEAN eliminates non value-added activities giving time back to the activities that add value.
How it works
RECOGNIZE
The process begins with a discussion with your LEAN Advisor about your business and the goals and obstacles.
OBSERVE
During a LEAN Event, our advisors will conduct a walk-through of your facility to identify areas of opportunity. We use LEAN’s 5S methodology to analyze your workflow, product usage and more, and uncover hidden waste.
IMPLEMENT
Perhaps the most valuable element of LEAN is to sustain improvements. And we make sure of it. Your advisor stays on the journey with you, checking in and making sure values stick.

“The Veritiv LEAN approach really energized our cleaning team and is helping them do a better job! And it has impacted our marketability. For the first time in my career, I am showing off our janitor closets as part of our tour to show that we really care... keeping the office environment as clean and professional as possible.”
