Maxim requested help with inculcating a Lean culture company-wide.

Apart from training in Lean, we helped Maxim build their Lean program, and develop Lean Leaders.

Also as part of the engagement, we orchestrated several kaizen events.  These events were run by us in the initial stages, but handed off to Maxim Lean Leaders over time.  These same Lean Leaders are now spreading the practice of Lean throughout the organization.
