Deliverables

Established in 1938 by Leroy Baker, Baker Electric, Inc. is a fourth generation, family-owned business that began in Escondido, California, where it is still headquartered today. A member of the National Electrical Contractors Association since 1957, they’ve been engineering and installing electrical systems for more than 75 years for a variety of industries in both public and private sectors.

Baker performs a wide variety of electrical, low voltage, solar, maintenance, and technology services across many markets.

Our relationship with Baker began when a Baker Executive attended one of our presentations. We started their Lean journey with two Kaizen events to streamline their Procure-to-Pay (P2P) process, and continued to help them with the implementation of the new roadmap.

Within a year, Baker has realized $2M in savings.  Baker’s belief in Lean has been solidified, and we now are using Lean tools and methodologies to make their PreFab facility more efficient.  We are also working with the executive team to develop and implement more meaningful Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and metrics, and we will soon be looking into the entire delivery process so that Baker can further the value they provide to their clients.
