Case Study: JR Automation achieves company-wide Lean Six Sigma adoption and millions in savings with LeanDNA

JR Automation Operationalizes Lean Six Sigma With LeanDNA

JR Automation, an industrial automation equipment company, was gearing up for a company‑wide Lean Six Sigma launch and needed an immediate, easy‑to‑use, low‑cost alternative to spreadsheets, SharePoint, and other disconnected systems. Seeking a tool built for Lean Six Sigma to promote best practices, visibility, and measurable project management, JR Automation selected LeanDNA as the solution.

LeanDNA was implemented quickly (October 2016) with about 30 managers trained, a one‑time employee load, SSO and intuitive navigation to drive rapid adoption. Using LeanDNA, JR Automation has quadrupled its Lean Six Sigma team, launched hundreds of projects across 22 areas at 8 sites, achieved millions of dollars in project savings in less than a year, and delivered company‑wide transparency and executive visibility—helping prioritize work, monitor progress, and sustain continuous improvement.
