BCO – Lean Practices

View recent Lean solutions

John Haggis, President of BCO, is a firm believer in Lean Engineering and Lean Manufacturing. As a manager at GE in the 1980’s John was at the forefront of Lean initiatives and was a strong advocate of Concurrent Engineering. John has carried this style of engineering and manufacturing to BCO, where he insists in conducting design reviews early in the process. John also insists that communication takes place across the boundaries of engineering, manufacturing and sales prior to the design reviews.
