PWENT's Lean support service combines 25+ years of experience in the gas industry with Lean Six Sigma methodology: we analyse and improve the processes of gas companies - gas plants, cylinder distributors, fire protection maintenance companies, industrial gas users - to increase efficiency, cost savings and customer satisfaction. New structure: Lean support has been moved under the Services main menu item. ⚠ Note: the meta description on the original site (pwent.eu/service-tatasks/) is in English, which causes an SEO error on the HU site - this should be corrected on the new site.
Why is so special Lean for Gas
The gas industry is a specialised industry: strict regulations (ADR, PED, TPED, ATEX), high safety requirements, small fault tolerance window, long investment cycles. The standard Lean Six Sigma methodology has been adapted by PWENT to the specificities of the gas industry: efficiency gains must never be at the expense of safety, and continuous compliance with standards is a basic principle.
Typical projects
Workshop workflow optimisation: reducing the lead time of the cylinder maintenance workshop (value stream mapping, factory layout modifications, capacity upgrades). Inventory management: increasing the rotation speed of the cylinder fleet, reducing storage costs. Sampling and quality control processes: reducing the proportion of defective products through Six Sigma. Maintenance strategy: increase the proportion of planned (preventive) maintenance compared to urgent repairs.
Service models
A suitable survey and audit: a 1-2 day expert visit to the customer's premises, a condition survey, identification of improvement points. Consultancy project: 3-6 month process transformation project with documented results. Long-term cooperation: annual consultancy contract, regular visits, continuous improvement.
Lean support is typically a value-added service added on top of PWENT's existing machine sales. Our staff are qualified in Lean Six Sigma. Request an on-site assessment.
