Lean Works in the Service Contracting World

Even in today’s harsh economy HVAC Service Contracting work is still happening - but with greater competition! How do you stay ahead of the competition? By applying Lean principles and practices.

Lean thinking has made major improvements in manufacturing - reducing defects and cycle time by as much as 40%. Lean has been proven to be very effective in improving construction productivity and reducing waste. Can Lean be applied to the Service Contracting World and yield similar results?

The answer is YES! Using Lean techniques will result in less waste of the technician’s time – allowing him to serve the customer better and reach more customers.
