Lean Focus Expands into Asia-Pacific Region

Lean Focus recently revealed its ambitious plans to establish a new division, Lean Focus Asia Pacific, targeting organizations in Eastern, Southeast, and Southern Asia, along with Oceania. This strategic move aims to offer on-ground expertise and support to businesses operating in this fast-growing region. By launching this division, Lean Focus is positioned to provide direct access to seasoned professionals who understand the local market nuances and operational challenges faced by companies.

Prior to the introduction of the Asia-Pacific division, Lean Focus was well-established in three regions: North America, Europe, and the Nordic countries. The inclusion of Asia and the Pacific significantly expands its global footprint, allowing for a cohesive business system across these diverse regions. Clients within the Asia-Pacific can now implement the Lean Focus Business System™ tailored specifically to their operations, leveraging local leadership to synchronize practices with existing partners and the central office.

The Lean Focus Asia Pacific division encompasses a comprehensive array of services, including operations and supply chain management, innovation and growth strategies, talent management solutions, and private equity support. Whether a client seeks to enhance supply delivery, free up cash from inventory, increase production capacity, or strengthen leadership, Lean Focus collaborates closely with the organization’s workforce to drive measurable results. This methodology integrates practical Kaizen principles with management practices, fostering the capabilities necessary to sustain improvements over time.

Heading the division is Tim Niewand, Vice President and Executive Director, whose rich background includes training under former Toyota managers and leaders of Danaher Business System. Niewand has facilitated over 100 Kaizen events across 25 companies in 10 countries, demonstrating his commitment to operational excellence.

Niewand emphasizes the desire of businesses in the Asia-Pacific region for improvement that translates to tangible results, stating, "Our mission is to partner with their leaders and our global team to convert business priorities into actionable steps, building the capabilities required to maintain those results." This reflects Lean Focus’s approach of marrying local expertise with global best practices.

Organizations in the Asia-Pacific region looking to enhance their operational performance are encouraged to reach out to Lean Focus Asia Pacific for discussions regarding their most pressing priorities and challenges. Existing clients of Lean Focus can connect with their current client relationship managers to explore extending their partnership into the Asia-Pacific operations.
