KED is a lean, process improvement and ergonomics/human factors consulting firm. At KED, we believe People + Process + Environment = Performance. KED Productivity focuses on optimizing people, the work they perform while taking into consideration the environment in which they work. We are unique in that we combine lean, six sigma (process improvement), systems thinking and human factors along with change management into all of our consulting services. We help companies resolve issues related to time and money, i.e. Quality, Cost, Deliver and Safety. Our services include but are not limited to facilitating process improvement projects, evaluation of current processes for QDCS which includes providing the "road map" for implementation and implementation assistance and training on lean, process improvement and/or ergonomics. We frequently help companies navigate the bridge the divide between operations, quality and safety-by assessing the risk factors, process gaps and ROI for all three areas.
