Lean in Agriculture

Improve Your Profitability

In these challenging times for Australian agriculture, forward thinking primary producers and agribusiness operators are improving their profitability through the application of Lean principles.

For over 40 years, Lean has been successfully implemented around the world in countless sectors including manufacturing, finance, government, service industries and agriculture.

Lean isn’t a trend – it’s a proven business management system designed to create more value while using resources more efficiently. With world leading organisations including John Deere, Caterpillar, Nike and Intel continuing to apply LEAN processes throughout their operations to enormous success, why wouldn’t you?

When Lean principles and tools are systematically applied to your agribusiness, you can expect:
  • A reduction in waste across growing, processing, maintenance, supply chain systems and finance areas
  • Significant improvement in product and service quality, raw material flow, elevated productivity, increased customer satisfaction and increased profitability
