Success Stories


"After attending Lean 101, our dock manager immediately changed his floor and began talking to his guys about how they could be more efficient on the dock. He brought me a list of changes he thought we should implement. Thanks!"

"DBR consultants provided an outstanding 4 day training that was customized for our staff. While I selected the group members for specific reasons, their facilitation abilities brought out the best in each of them."
- Frank Dunn, Executive Vice President, Tidewater Community College

"DBR workplacelean facilitators trained a cross-departmental group in "Process Mapping Basics". Processes from admissions to payroll were improved, yielding significant time-savings as well as some cost-savings.
