What people say

Lean training really helped with emphasizing the importance and process of breaking everything down into pieces and putting it back together in an order that is logical and can clearly identify the pinch points. I spend more time in the Gemba than I did before and this has helped iron out many issues.

Imad Matar Aurora Larssen Projects Ltd.

Avel provided Milron with a roadmap to the future. He helped us adjust our current thinking and showed us how a LEAN environment could benefit our production, quality and culture. Our people now focus on continuous improvements, innovations and waste reduction. We are extremely grateful to have Avel working with the Milron team.

Curt Thompson Milron Metal Fabricators Inc.

We see results every day, the fruits of our labour are in the shifts we see in our company’s culture – toward positivity, inclusivity, and continuous improvement. We are so grateful to Avel – our LEAN guru – and we look forward to continuing our journey with him.

Sara Becker Ideal Contract Services Ltd.

Thanks to the Lean coaching provided by Red-5 we see waste everywhere and we’re happy! It’s exciting to attack these new challenges and tackle the issues that stop us from always adding value to our clients. We are better positioned to meet the needs of our customers and adapt to the rapidly growing solar industry.

Meet the Members of Our Alliance

To face today's challenges, Red-5 has had to rebel against the status quo and create a collaborative, more personal approach to business improvement.

Some businesses have an empire of people to perform their work, and even then it cannot do everything or know it all – let alone just one person. So Red-5 has strategic alliances with other like-minded players that share their expertise, and cooperate and enhance each other to achieve a synergistic outcome. With Red-5 you get more than one person, you get access to an alliance of skilled leaders in business improvement! Meet the members of our rebel Alliance!
