Design & Estimating

When every quote depends on one person's gut and a long memory, your margins are guesswork and your lead times are a promise you might not keep.

The problem

Quotes by gut and memory

Estimates take too long, vary by whoever builds them, and only one person really knows how to price the tricky jobs. You win work you lose money on and lose work you'd have profited from. Every quote is a small act of faith.

What VITO discovers

The real constraint is almost always upstream.

Inconsistent estimating is almost never an experience problem, it's an undocumented-knowledge problem. We find pricing logic, design rules, and assumptions living in one head instead of a system. The expertise is real, it's just trapped and unscalable.

Mike Nunn's Lean Thinking workshop was engaging, practical, and genuinely fun. What stood out most was his ability to help participants ask the right questions, see processes differently, and enjoy the improvement journey. The workshop was immediately relevant for leaders and teams looking to work smarter. I highly recommend learning Lean Thinking from Mike Nunn.

Joslyn Young

CEO, Surrey & White Rock Board of Trade

His ability to connect Lean principles with real-world manufacturing experience made the concepts practical, relatable and immediately applicable. He brings credibility and practical insight that only comes from having implemented these principles on the factory floor.

Owner/CEO, Sipco Innovations

Before attending Mike's presentation, I knew very little about Lean. By the end, I was genuinely inspired. Plenty of people can teach Lean. Mike inspires you to embrace it. Respectful curiosity!

It was really insightful and helpful, even for us on the development team. We see a little bit of Lean replicated in our environment without noticing, and now we know we can apply it in an intentional way.
